I am now a constant user of Ed Felker's Handbook and Modified Owner's manual. In the chapter "Wiper Blade Replacements" the very first statement states that the OEM blades are 29 1/2". Reading further, it states (from a Thor Forum user) that the replacement blade is a TRU VISION TV8-32, which is their 32" model. Further checking finds that TRICO lists the blades for the VEGAS/AXIS at 28" !!
I bought (and threw the bad ones away) a pair of the 28" wipers with the correct "J" hook and I think I should have just thrown away the $50- - It would have been easier. I am not happy with these, to say the least.
Can someone clear this up for me (and maybe others) before I spend more money ? TIA. Ed V.

and post #5 for wiper adapters to use std. wipers of your choice from store of your choice. I installed them a few years ago and have had good results. It also enables you to quickly and easily remove your wipers when your RV is not in use, thus keeping them from aging out.
