WORKING WITH EXISTING WINDOW TREATMENTS

Do you have a top of the line new rig, or something old and sturdy that's seen more than a few campsites? No matter what your RV situation, Roaming Shades can fit.

Beautiful, classic valances in place? Roaming Shades will fit underneath most existing valances (see How to Order).

Worn out, dirty window treatments that need to go? Roaming Shades has colors and attachments to replace them.

Valances

In many cases, you don't need to remove existing valances to add Roaming Shades. We recommend using an adhesive style of attachment such as grommets with adhesive hooks, or clip rings with cafe rods to use with existing valances. It's a slim space behind those valances, and there really isn't room for a power drill.

It's a great idea to get a flashlight and take a look under your valances to get an idea of how they're attached. Your Roaming Shades will come with two to four attachment points depending on the size of the shade. Make sure there's a clear spot in each corner of your windows in which to adhere your attachments. Our measurement template packet can help you here (see How to Order).

You can leave as much or as little of your existing window treatments as you'd like.

Existing Shades

Many RVs come with paper accordion-style shades, also called honeycomb or pleated shades. Roaming Shades were designed to be a replacement for these shades, so most of the time they will need to be removed. Consider, however, that those shades has a few drawbacks, so replacing them might not be a problem.

First and foremost, you can't clean them. Roaming Shades are machine washable and easy to remove.

Secondly, they let in light which only gives limited privacy and protection from UV rays. Roaming Shades have an integrated black out shade.

Finally, they are not as durable as they could be. When those strings break, the entire shade must be replaced. Made of durable materials, Roaming Shades are designed to last for years.
