Shade Pro RV Roller Shade Spring & Aluminum Tube Replacement Help

Asked by ChristopherAsked on September 8, 2025Answered by Elkhart RV Parts
Customer Question

I ordered a replacement spring insert for a Shade Pro RV roller shade, but the spring is too large for the existing 62-inch aluminum tube. I want to return the incorrect spring and order a replacement aluminum pole that fits the 0.75" version spring (24" length) for Valu-Line RV roller shades. What is the correct part number for the replacement tube compatible with my spring?

Expert Answer

A matching replacement aluminum-tube part number has not been verified for the Shade Pro shade described. A 62-inch tube, a nominal 3/4-inch spring and a reported 24-inch spring length do not establish the tube's internal profile, keyed engagement or end fittings. Do not force the oversized insert into the existing tube or assume that changing the tube alone will make the assembly compatible.

Our Irvine 3/4-inch Valu-Line spring listing has native SRS-SR18S and SRS-SR18L options. That identifies the catalog product; it does not approve either option for a Shade Pro assembly. Irvine's replacement-parts guide distinguishes its own shade mechanisms and spring families. Its three-size manufacturer photo and our two-option catalog require an exact part crosswalk before selection.

ShadePro's current Legacy day/night shade documentation describes a complete shade system, but does not establish that your older shade is that model or identify an Irvine-compatible replacement tube. A complete new shade is therefore an option to evaluate separately, not a confirmed necessary repair or a guaranteed way to reuse the purchased spring.

Identify the original manufacturer/model and any tube or spring markings, then compare clear end-on tube-profile and end-fitting photos, tube inside/outside dimensions, spring drive shape and finished shade width against documentation for that exact system. The original spring and tube may need to be evaluated together. Return eligibility for the incorrect spring requires a separate order-specific review; this answer does not authorize a return or promise a repair result.
