Lee Smith Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I need to replace one wiper arm but am not able to find a new one. I have been in touch with a vender "BJ's RV and Marine Parts and Accessories" who is a dealer for the newly sold "Wiper Technologies". It appears that they may be able to make a retro upgrade kit for around $695. Apparently includes everything. He is presently verifying that it can be made. I am leaning this way as I am very cautious about another wiper malfunction on the road. I am quickly learning that being ready ahead of time is the best defense. In that regard, the help I get on this forum is very valuable. My thanks to everyone. My alternative is to buy used wiper arms from Visone, buy uplinks, buy a spare set of blades and try to locate a new motor. If anyone has a parts list and or diagram for the original "Wiper Technologies" that would be a very big help. The guy at BJ's had me take a picture of the kit number as listed on the wiper motor. Thank you in advance for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you in advance for your help. Lee, previously I bought a wiper arm for the RV from a boat parts store online. I'm sorry but I couldn't find any information and I don't remember who it was. It was a replacement arm with the washer tube clamps on the arm. There is someone out there that has our wiper arms. The price was in my thrifty life price range. I'll keep looking.

OhReally Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Lee, I'm confused by your original post. Do you just need an arm or is motor defunct. I may have a used/good wiper arm for my 2003 HR Scepter. The new blades can always be made (with a small bit of inginuity) from many brands still sold. My Scepter is a split windshield but that shouldn't matter if your motor and motor linkage is good. Get me some good pictures and measurements (don't think part numbers will help) (arm length, pics of arm connection to coach, etc.) and we can try to match things up. -Jamie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect to have it home in about a week. I will then post pictures and measurements. I like your ideas and offer to help. No, the motor is fine. I just want a spare. Since having wiper problems on the road is such a challenge I want to be prepared. Thank you very much. 4 hours ago, dleeadkins said: All my questions about my “wiper technologies” kit were answered by the customer service at Rome Truck Parts.

Lee Smith Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 Success: I was starting to follow a path to purchase a complete retro-upgrade wiper kit from a Wiper Technologies Vendor which was quoted at $750. Fortunately for me that hit a roadblock when they asked for pictures of the installation location and then informed me there was a motor mounting conflict with the dash AC system. I say fortunately because Kristin at Rome Truck Parts was able to get all of the parts I need to do a complete rebuild with the exception of the wiper motor which I was able to get from Veurink's RV Center. Of course, I did not purchase the motor mounting hardware as nothing was wrong with the original on my Signature. I received the parts and have installed the replacement wiper arm, but I am holding off on the complete rebuild for now. All of the parts appear to be correct but when I do install them, I will complete this post. Following is the Rome Truck Parts Invoice which lists their part numbers and pricing, a link to the Veurink's RV Center wiper motor, which when received I noticed it was an OEM with the original part number, and a parts list for a 2003 Monaco Signature (I apologize for not crediting where I got this, but I lost track). The 2003 list is actually a MCC 2002 WIN CHAS -Wiper Kit but the post I copied it from said it worked for the 2003 Signature. That statement does appear to be correct but the wiper kit number as listed is different. Probably the motor mounting brackets as all of the parts do work on the 2003 and 2004 Signatures. Anway, I feel extremely fortunate to have received such great help on this forum. Thank you to everyone who helped me out.

Lee Smith Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 I need to add a follow-up to include wiper blades. I had wanted to switch to a Wexco# 13732 as it does appear that Wexco does a good job with the wind resistance issue, but Rome Truck Parts was out of stock on the Wexco and recommended a Sprague C-2487 - $30.47. I researched the Sprague, and it looks like a very good blade, so I ordered a set yesterday. Here is a link to the Sprague blade: C-2487 | Sprague Devices (sprague-devices.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacwjames Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 This parts list you posted is the same as what I have for my 2002 Windsor. I download this from the Monaco site back in 2010 when they left the dealer site open, I downloaded about 100 pages of parts for my rig. Most of the time I can use the vendor part number to find what I need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwhittle Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I ordered and am installing a whole replacement wiper assembly from Wiper Technologis for our 2005 Signature. Everything is better about the new assembly: larger motor larger gearbox larger spindles more rugged spindle mounting plate Rod ends vs rubber bushings new heavy duty arms new 32” wiper blades 6-point washer nozzles per arm new washer fittings through the front cap It has not been a trouble free install the spindle holes need to be opened up for the new 1” spindles I had to remove 1/4” from the spindle mount (cut and weld) as the spacing did not match the original I had to flip the rod end mounts to the spindle arms so it wouldn’t foul the body The price was less that’s the shopping list above, but it took a few months for them to fill the order due to supply chain and some medical issues on the Wiper Techology team. Compare that the the $200+ I would have had to spend on just replacement arms, and it was a simple decision to make. Even with the installation issues, I would not hesitate to do it again.

Lee Smith Posted June 18, 2022 Author Share Posted June 18, 2022 That is great. Thanks for the photos and details. Please post a copy of the parts order so that others can duplicate your success. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwhittle Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I’ll see if I can find something. I did it mainly by calling and emailing Wiper Technologies. I sent them a picture of the original sticker on my motor and that was all they asked for. https://www.globalproducts.llc Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
