RV Shade Spring Replacement Guide: 1" Diameter Slow-Close Springs

Asked by CherylAsked on May 17, 2026Answered by Elkhart RV Parts
Customer Question

Which replacement spring do I need for my RV shade that slow closes, has a 1" diameter and 24" length spring, and is black inside with white outside? I see Value Line springs are 1" diameter, premium ones 1.25", but my shade slow closes.

Expert Answer

For your RV shade with a 1" diameter and 24" spring length that slow closes, the correct replacement spring is the Irvine 1" Valu-Line large size spring designed for shades 30" and wider. The premium slow-rise springs fit 1.25" diameter tubes, so unless your shade tube measures 1.25", you should use the 1" diameter Value Line spring. The black inside and white outside color does not affect spring compatibility. Always measure the tube diameter first to ensure proper fit.
