RV Roller Shade Springs: Return & Replacement Guide for 3 Sizes

Do not send either spring back until a return request has been reviewed and accepted for the specific items. Explain separately that one spring was too large and the other is broken, and provide item and package photos and proof of purchase. A general advice page does not authorize a return of a damaged or installed part, a prepaid label, a refund or a restocking-fee waiver.

Under the current published return policy, each item has its own terms; accepted returns require the issued label and instructions. Returns are inspected before a refund is approved, and return shipping is not automatically free. Have the acceptance and issued instructions explicitly identify both items and authorize a shared package before putting them in one box. Do not combine extra items or mail a package on your own label based on the old answer.

A 1-inch tube measurement and a 73.5-inch shade width do not, by themselves, establish a replacement spring. Identify the shade manufacturer, Valu-Line or Slow-Rise mechanism, model/revision, original spring part number and end/drive profile; distinguish tube outside diameter, inside diameter and spring-body dimensions. The Irvine replacement-parts guide separates Slow-Rise, 1-inch Valu-Line and 3/4-inch Valu-Line springs. Its width charts place 60-inch-and-wider shades in a Large category within their identified family; that is not approval of an unknown 73.5-inch assembly or a specific catalog option.

Compare the 3/4-inch Valu-Line, 1-inch Valu-Line and Slow-Rise spring listings only as identification references. The current 1-inch Valu-Line listing has two native options while the manufacturer chart has three size categories; that crosswalk remains unconfirmed. Do not assume a nominal diameter, width or “Large” label establishes interchangeability, spring length or a repair. Check each exact variant's current listing and return terms before ordering.
