Thank you all for helping and I'll answer all of you:
TNCraig, I did bang it up on both sides with a block of wood and my hammer, nothing.
Grumpy, now that's a real good idea and I'll investigate that one for sure. I have a dental pick and I'll probe around for any metal sound or feel.
Nevercominghome ( love that name) The screws im using are 1" long and do not come through the wall. The outside bracket is just above the frame that's holding the Valance on. If I can remove it I can use that bolt and nut and it will be hidden. I have about 1/4 to 3/8 max space behind that valance and I can't get my finger behind there nor can I see what I'm doing.

I say just sharpen up a putty knife and slice it off the wall. You'll be able to tell if there's any more metal (screws) holding the thing in place. Start at the top and gently cut it off.
Hang a group of small framed pictures over the damage if you make a mess of things.
Edited to add a "I'm kind of joking" smiley face.

If you are paying, notice I said if your paying, for your Obama Care, you will have to meet a very high deductible first. If your not paying, the x-ray and anything else you want to have done while you are there will be totally free! That's because the ones that do pay for it, will pay more, so you can get it done for free! Thanks to Obama. God  us all, we need it.

No, 2 people need my truck to move and I don't loan it out so I'm helping with the moves.
I did probe around with my dental pic and there is something else in the 3 holes and its a metal sound. Can't make out what it is that's not only holding the Valance to the wall but it's accepting those 3-1" screws. Funny that Jayco said it should fall off. Those 3 screws are not long enough to go through the Valance and into the wall.

I wonder if the valence is mounted to some sort of backing plate that is mounted to the wall? The valence is padded right? Can you push down on the padding and feel any other screws or whatnot under there?

How do you remove the Valance over the front door ?
Staying tuned to this thread as the suspense is killing me. Good luck TTT!

Well finely got the correct answer on my VIN Hybrid and low and behold because if your ever experiencing an earth quake " hold on to that sucker"!
There are 3 locator pins for proper placement and a quick grip construction adhesive to hold it in place until the 3 beauty buttons can be applied.
"Tunces" can it be removed ?
"Jayco" probably not without damaging the Valance or the wall behind or slightly around it.
Valance is staying for now.

My hitch and tow bar are not built like that.
I mean, how much does a valance weigh?
Agreed, we get the big one, I'm hiding under the nearest valance.

Ya know, I've been all over this thing and I think Jayco builds a very fine unit and I'm very happy with every aspect of this home away from home but that Valance really belongs in an assault tank. Jayco really dug deep to go back to 2010 to help me and my hats off to them, I won't hesitate to buy from them again.
Hitch Pin, the locater pins are steel so I'll need a hack saw 32teeth per inch for this one.

I winter in California .. and since RV's are made to shake rattle and roll down the highway they should be a safe place to stay in during an earthquake.. when one hits my area I figure the safest place to be is in bed...

You may be able to loosen that adhesive with a heat gun but then I'd be concerned about the Wall paper stuff on the walls bubbling up if it got too hot.
Maybe direct the heat gun towards a spatula and let the heat travel down the metal to the contact point. It's how I remove vinyl flooring and old construction caulking from around outdoor windows.

Sounds like a good idea but at this point I'm calling it quits on this project. Time to spend more time with The Tunce so I'm taking her to Artist Point at Mt. Baker to play in the snow tomorrow. Next month were going to Mt. Shasta for more snow and then to Pismo Beach for a month of sun and sand.
