    Its a 95 Skamper model 072s, the base foot print is 38" wide and 88" long so I have to have the tailgate down for it. I only have 10lbs of air in the bags and it rides like its empty.. Can't wait to get out this weekend with it.

    I like it but the wifey wants a small travel trailer with a potty!!!:rolleyes:

    Being that the OME were double walled was the decision maker for me

    Bought out the truck at end of lease. Also replaced the Bosch Icon wiper on the driver's side (old one was streaking).

    Congratulations on the buy out ! How long did your Bosch Icon wiper on the driver's side last B 4 it started streaking ? My driver's side started streaking and I'm not too happy considering the $$ - they sure ain't cheap.

    Mine are a year old OEM replacements and already need replaced with barely 6k miles on the truck and garage kept. Lame. Glad I didn't pay for them. Best blades I have used are the high-end Valeo ones and I plan to source another pair to replace these busted ass ones.

    Think I'll check out Valeo. Looks like I'm not the only one not happy with the Icons.

    I have gone through two winters with them. The passenger side wiper is still working fine. Driver's side developed an inch-wide streak directly in my field of view.

    I had bad luck with those, the RainX ones and a few others too. Colorado can be pretty tough on wipers give the swing in temperatures.

    Now I don't know what way to go. Wonder if anyone could chime in who has had a good experience with some brand of wiper ???
