My "solo" trip from Eugene to Coos Bay and back was a success trip and it was a blast! Too short though! The only casualty was a tipped over milk carten in the frig. I know, screw on caps in the future! It was a rainy couple of days with a little sleet thrown in as well. The wipers worked but not very well. The driver's side wiper would only move about 1/2 to 1/3 of its range. If I leaned a little to the right I could see through the glass that got wiped! What can I do to adjust the wiper so that it moves through its "full" range? The passenger side moved through the full range, but it didn't want to work on slow speed, only fast speed. What do you think I need to look for here? Thanks Dean '82 Airstream 280 Classic

Not sure how yours are set up as I own a Travco rather then an Airstream. Mine are two individual electric motors, one for each side. I would suspsect that the one on the drivers side may be stripped. There is a grooved fitting that the wiper arm fits onto, these can wear over time and then they will slip when they meet the greatest resistance on the windshield. Might check that first. The passengers side tends to lead me to beleive you may also have individual motors and the low side is bad on that one. Chcek under the dash and see if you have one motor with connecting rods or two motors. Best direction I can lead you at this time. Tip.
