Roller shades manufacturer

Does anyone know who makes the roller shades for the Seneca? Mine is a 2014 with the double shade and black out blind. Need to tighten up the springs so they will roll up all the way. By the way I’m trying to figure out a way to keep the valance from falling off the wall.

Not sure who made my shades but I too have had an issue with the valances coming off/apart. I took mine all down and reinforced them as needed with glue, screws and some staples as appropriate. Originally they we just held together with a couple of staples!

When I reinstalled the valances I added extra screws to hold the valances up to the cabinet above them.

And I have also reinforced the cabinets themselves, but that's another story!

I could not find a single identifying mark on mine except for the size when I had mine out. Very odd!

On my 2014 I have 3 windows with valances up front and three in the bedroom. The 3 in front and the ones on each side of the head of the bed (in the slideout) are all mounted under overhead cabinets and are held up by screws going up through the valance into the cabinet. Then each "leg" coming down on the sides has a small "L" bracket screwed into the wall and valance. The large bedroom "escape" window has no overhead cabinet; it is held on by 3 "L" brackets at the top and the same lower leg brackets.

I see some of this is already posted but just in case. I received this from Jayco when I asked the same question.

MCDs here too and I'll be dogged if they stay tight.
There in McKinney TX, IIRC.


Might be time for a site visit.
