Wiper blades and washer nozzles

I have a 2003 Itasca Horizon 34HD. Seems I'm chasing things getting it up to snuff. One wiper arm has the washer nozzle holder the other doesn't. Would any of you have experience on finding the OEM washer heads or making your own?
Thanks,
Bart

Sounds like an item that might require going to the dealer for that type chassis and year.
2003 Ford, etc. perhaps as that would not be part of the RV in my thinking.

Being it’s an older coach and being an Itasca on a Freightliner chassis, not thinking that would be an option. I’m just going to fabricate some with spaghetti tubing sprinklers parts/tips. Thanks for the response!

I see lots of Freightliner parts sources online but I might guess the easy way would be to take the whole arm to a dealer and let them help as they are quite likely to know it on sight. The problem I see with "inventing" one is getting it to match the flow of the other side so that the fluid is spread evenly on both sides. Sprayheads are simple little things but they get fussy when we change one as it will also change the rest of the string.

You can always use sprinkler nozzles for both sides, plus many are adjustable. It's not like it's a critical part.

Also realized today the my wiper arm are not the same. One is a replacement one. Petty sure the Dyna embossed arm is the correct/original one. Next time going with the wet 26” wiper blades on Amazon.

Wiper arm washer nozzle

I had a 2004 Meridian with similar problem. If you are handy, I'd fabricate one. I hope the Horizon has more liquid flow that the Meridian!

They are a Winnebago item - not a chassis manufacturer item. Call Lichtsinn with your coach serial number. You should also be able to find the part number if you download the parts list for your Coach using the SN on the Winnebago web site. Good luck,

We have a 2003 Journey. The nozzle itself is a little cup that fits to the hose and directs the spray 90 degrees toward the windshield. The nozzle and hose are held in the grove with three plastic clamps (easily replaced with black spot ties)

Wiper parts

Have a look at Mill Supply. They have most all of those type of parts and were probably the mfg supplier. I found everything I needed for our previous RV 2003.

They are pretty common and can be found in a variety of styles at most truck parts stores.


Here is one example from Amazon:

I looked up school bus parts as some have the same wipers as class and nozzles
