Day/Night Pleated Shade Replacement for Cougar Fifth Wheel RV

Asked by CarlAsked on October 19, 2025Answered by Elkhart RV Parts
Customer Question

Why did the lower 'Day' White Sheer portion of my 56"x48" Day/Night Pleated Shade for my Cougar Fifth Wheel lose pleating memory and become flimsy and unusable after light use, and can I get a replacement or change the material to Cotton Sheer?

Expert Answer

The lower 'Day' White Sheer fabric on your 56"x48" Day/Night Pleated Shade may have quality or durability issues that caused it to lose pleating memory and become difficult to use. This material has proven to be less durable compared to the original Irving shades and may not withstand normal usage over time. While Elkhart RV Parts does not control fabric selection or manufacturing, they acknowledge and recommend not reordering the same White Sheer fabric if it has underperformed. They can a replacement order, but free replacement is only provided if there is a manufacturer or seller error. You can request to change the Day fabric from White Sheer to Cotton Sheer if available, which may offer better durability and appearance. It is advisable to confirm availability before placing a new order to avoid similar issues.
