Replacement wiper blades

Currently have 25" Bosch wipers...can't find replacements at any of the auto parts stores.  Any recommendations on sources or brands with good performance?

I got mine here (arms and blades as my arms were rusty and I wanted them looking newer). 

Transportation Bus Parts 800-848-0756 http://commerce1.cera.net/tacbusparts/sections/catalog/catalog.asp?cat_id=118 stocks DYNA wiper arms and also many parts for wipers such as blades, arms, pins, cams, linkage, motors.

Got the number/info from Gary.  Thanks Gary!

Think mine are 26" RainX that I got at Walmart for under $20.00. They have lasted nearly a year and still going. I do keep them covered when coach is parked for any length of time.

I just took an old blade off, took it into O'Reilly's, and they matched it up. Got a pair and put them on. Cost wasn't too bad. Biggest problem was that the bolt that holds the blades to the arm points up on one side and down on the other. The holes are two different sizes, so I couldn't have both bolts pointing down.

We have tried to replace our wiper arms & blades, but have found arms not as strong as ours and blades that don't exactly fit our existing arms. We end up pulling rubber from new blades and inserting it in our original blades with our existing metal slats.

I haven't had to replace the arms yet, but have gotten blades at O-Reilly's and drilled out the mounting holes to fit the existing bolts.  Easy fix and I have a spare set pre-drilled.

The Trico web site has a search-by-vehicle feature that includes Foretravel in the list of RV brands.

  Find Your Wiper Size | TRICO® Windshield Wipers

Their recommendation matched what was installed on my coach, and I bought new blades and refills from Amazon.  The Trico blades came with multiple attachment hardware designed for different styles of wiper arms.
