I wonder why they put valances in RV's anyway! I mean RV's are small enough without taking up more space with valences! lol Maybe it adds more privacy or something but I dont like them! It just makes no sense to me at all!
haha @Lara Greene that's a question I think a lot of people ask, us included. It seems like the industry decided that was the way to go and everyone did it :)
I have a 2020 jayco redhawk and need to remove the valance to replace the broken window, I have tried a #2 square head snd a philps but can’t get the 3 screws out of the valance
I wish you would do a video of taking out the blinds because I cant get mine out
Thanks for posting this! (P.S. I think you look a little bit like John Krasinski in this video lol!)
No worries +AshleyShell343 I hope it was helpful :) ! That's funny it's the second time I've heard that comparison, I wish I had a little bit of his height though haha.
Your site is the best ever for info for renovating a RV. I really appreciate your info!
Thank you so much Polly!
Thanks for a great demonstration. I love how you get to the point and are encouraging.
Thank you @Chris Hardman I hope it was helpful :)
thank you so much for this! I'm living in my rv and the valences are driving me insane
No worries at all! I hope it helped. Nobody likes the way we feel when we're forced to look at the valances that come in RVs haha.
It never ceases to amaze me! Why do RV builders use such ugly fabrics and hideous valances?? I'm attacking ours this summer as well. Not sure if I will simply recover the top and leave off the sides and add simple side curtains to cover the blind cords or ?? Looking forward to seeing more of your renos!
I know right, I am not sure I have ever seen an RV with good looking factory valances haha! When you get done attacking yours this summer we'd love to see how you fixed them up!
I'm trying to do this, but I have the blinds with one shade that you pull to move up or down. They're round. Can you help?
Great video. I am about to start removing and resealing all the windows in my Camper... This was a big help... Thanks for sharing.. :)
Thanks a ton +RcNickster, and I'm glad this was helpful for you, best of luck with removing and resealing all your windows!
Thank you for sharing your video, I’m going to do it, plus paint the walls. What paint do you suggest?
What if you want to keep the self pull down blinds that are attached to the valance? Impossible?
Thank you and good tip on removing blinds👌🏽
No worries at all +Simply Impish I'm glad it was helpful :)
Did you put anything back? How did you paint?
Hey Polly. We ended up putting shades above all of the windows, but they are white and blend in nicely with the walls. We might upgrade in the future but for now we're happy with the shades. I think you made it over to the website but am not sure if you made it to our painting the walls post. I've put a link below, that goes into detail on how we did it.

I hope that helps out. Best Wishes Eric
Amazing thanks. I want to remove the box type pelmets all together and not put them up. The day night shades are broken and i have decided to get vertical blinds installed as the pelmets will not allow the verticals to move thanks for posting
No worries at all @noeleen falkner I'm glad it was helpful and I think what you're planning sounds like a fantastic idea :)
Hi i live in a cottage trailer from the USA living in NEW ZEALAND. Can you tell me are all pelmets equal what i mean do they all come off? had a bit of water coming in all weep holes are clear so now looking at other places just a small spot on the floor by the clothes drawers.
I want to get the little brown curtains off but boy i cant put a screw driver to get them off the space is limited to restring the curtain any suggestions would be helpful thanks
Hey @noeleen falkner unfortunately not all trailers and valances are created equal. Each manufacturer makes their rigs in a different way. I can say of all the ones I've seen all valances have been able to be removed but others are more difficult than others. I'm glad to hear the weep holes are clear now though :) If you don't plan to reuse the valances you could try to pull them off, which may end up giving you enough room to get the screwdriver in, if you do take this approach you'll probably ruin the valances so you'd need another option to put up as a replacement. Anyway I hope this helps but if I didn't answer your questions please feel free to let me know :)
@@Mountainmodernlife Hi thanks for your great advice. got the little curtains off! washed them, and they are off at the moment. I put a hand towel under the pelmet we call them here and they are both DRY. cant figure where the water came in from. no water above pelmet this box like thing above the window it has rained, had due on window and nothing has come in. I just cant understand it. Will put up curtains sometime and will Velcro them onto the pelmet corners so if this happens again they are easy to remove.
is the name of your wallpaper "ENDLESS BREEZE"- I have been trying to locate this paper for my coach. great videos lots of info; much appreciated PAT
Hey +Patrick Peterman, sorry for the delayed response. I'm glad the videos have been helpful, to be honest the wallpaper in this video is the wall paper that came with the coach and we're not exactly sure what the name of it is. Wish we had more information on it for you.
IT.S ALL GOOD! I,LL FIND IT. THANKS,PATRICK
My shades don't come out like this and I don't have a power drill 😠😡
Hey +Vilma T. Gonzalez I'm sorry to hear that :( Do you think you could explain how your's are set up, if you can I might be able to help if you haven't already figured it out :)
Mountain Modern Life I just stepped out to babysit my grandbabies. I'll take a picture and post it when I get back. I bought this 5 wheeler to live in. The blinds are so dirty I want to remove them to clean. I look forward to posting pics. And your reply.
Thank you
We'll be looking forward to them, it may be easier for you to email us or find us on facebook at Mountain Modern Life to share the pictures there. I'm not sure if you can post pictures in the youtube comments section.
Thanks. To the point with no small talk.
what do you do about the holes?
We are planning to replace the valances with a different type of window treatment here shortly, which will cover up the holes so you can't see them. If we weren't going to be doing that though we would use a filler in the holes then paint over them. We may fill them anyway, so I will let you know more once we do it!
Same question ! I would worry about mould setting into open holes on a trailer?
after taking the valances off will the blinds go back on ?without the valances?thank you ,l didn,t think l would ever get them off but after watching your video l can now have my windows without them thank you so much
