Replacement Parts for 2016 Thor Tuscany Slow-Rise RV Shades
Replacement Parts for 2016 Thor Tuscany Slow-Rise RV Shades
I have a 2016 Thor Tuscany 34ST with slow-rise day and night shades. One night shade pulls down but won’t roll back up unless hand wound, another won’t stay down, and one bracket is broken. What parts do I need to repair or reset these shades?
The reported symptoms do not identify the failed part, and the 2016 Thor Tuscany 34ST model year does not identify the shade mechanism. Check the manufacturer label and the actual day/night assembly first. Record each affected shade's width, exposed roller-tube outside diameter, header label and any part/revision numbers. Photograph both roller ends, control dials, the complete mounting arrangement and the broken bracket from both sides. Keep each shade's information separate.
If these are Irvine Slow-Rise shades, the current 1¼-inch Slow-Rise spring listing is restricted to 2019+ model-year shades. It is not an approved spring for an original 2016 assembly, and a coach may have had its shades replaced. Irvine's replacement-parts reference separates Slow-Rise from the ¾-inch and 1-inch Valu-Line systems and selects Slow-Rise spring size by shade width. Neither nominal tube diameter nor “won't retract” proves the spring revision, failure or replacement fit.
Identify which bracket is broken before selecting hardware. Irvine's reference shows five Slow-Rise mounting-bracket styles. A clip or bracket securing the header to the valance is a different component from an end bracket supporting the roller/control mechanism. The current #1 mounting clip and RS-BA200B double-roller end bracket are identification examples, not confirmed matches to this coach. Compare the original shape, mounting holes, roller arrangement, control ends and revision; no two-bracket quantity is prescribed.
Irvine's Slow-Rise operation and adjustment sheet distinguishes the clear upper-stop knob from the black speed-adjustment knob on the illustrated assembly. It does not diagnose these shades or prescribe an internal gear reset or spring replacement for these symptoms. Match the actual controls and instructions before adjustment, and do not dismantle or rewind a tensioned mechanism from generic instructions. Have a qualified shade technician assess an unsupported or damaged assembly. Repairability, an exact replacement part and the need for a complete shade remain unconfirmed.
