So - went into buy a wiper blade....

I get to Knoxville TN on a business thing last week. Went into the MB dealership to buy a freaking wiper blade....then I was attacked, hypnotized, pandered to...and - happily left with this.

I did get to replace the rear wiper on my E63 as well......now, can I fit AMG brakes on it...........

I have to go to Knoxhell for a business thing myself. Should have done it earlier this year but I just really don't want to. It's almost not worth the half million dollars to me. Seriously!

I'm guess you drove it home.

If I was going to get a Class B, I certainly would want it on a Mercedes chassis.

That's a beautiful coach you got there oldMan... congrats 👍

Pls pm me when you start experiencing its true character with voltage and busy CAN-Buses.

I would rush to review your front brakes for pads and control arms status.

I didn't mean to hijack the thread... when I first moved to Knoxville it was 1982 and there was a World's Fair going on, Jake Butcher was buiding a skyscraper and Reggie White swithed from track and field to football. A few years later Testerman was paying himself 2 million to demolish the US Pavilion and a second skyscrapers was abandonded unfinished. It was all downhill from there.

Anywhosies, nice camper van!

Much safer (and less expensive) to buy wiper blades online.

WRONG FORUM

Move to forum "windshield wipers" subsection "bought a camper afterwards"

Thanks Karen(Peter)Ubers! And it better be a camper built on a Sprinter platform or we'll report OldMan to the forum "crossing guards".

If it's worth that much, let me know how to get there and I'll stand in for you and only take a %
