U300 washer/wiper

After having our coach for nine years, I think it might be time to replace the windshield washer that was MIA when we bought the coach. Any suggestions?

On a related note, how do I remove the existing wiper switch?

Never tried to remove the wiper switch, so no help there.

BUT, I can supply a photo of the OEM windshield washer bottle on our coach.  It's not a great photo, but shows enough detail that I was able to find matching items with a Google search.  Don't know if your coach used the same bottle.  Hope this helps.

PS:  My washer bottle is nearly empty because I've never used it...not once (that I can remember) in 9 years.

I was out at the coach this afternoon, working on another project. Finished that, and still had some time, so I decided to look at the wiper switch again. I had BRIGHT sun today, and I could see a small set screw on the wiper knob. Hmmm, maybe that will let the knob come off, which will let the switch come out. Apparently I'm not the first one to try that. I couldn't get that little screw to turn at all. Someone before me had rounded one side of the slot, and I rounded the other side. After the second blood donation I quit while I was behind. I think I have a saw blade around here somewhere that will let me deepen the slot, and then maybe a better screwdriver might work. If that doesn't work I might just cut the knob off.
