2019 Winnebago Intent 29L Driver Shade Unrolled

[Dwsever]

This morning I discovered that my driver's side pull-down shade has completely unrolled. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, what do I do to repair it. Or must I just replace it?

Greetings Dwsever,
Could you please give us the year and model of your Class A? Does the shade have a brand name?

Agree with Eagle5 on more information would be helpful.
If the shade you are talking about is a see thru type thats made to deflect the sun light its made like the older pull downs shades of the past. By completely unrolled I am taking that as it will not retract. If you are able to remove the curtain from its brackets you should find the answer about repair or replace.

On one end of the shads rod the tension spring can be retightened. Once you do that you should beable to get the shade back into place.

Thank You.
We own a 2019 Winnebago Intent 29L.
I am attaching photos I took of labels I found on the apparatus when I took it down.

When you say "pull down" I kind of assume you mean one you pull down manually? If true, a common problem is in the spring mechanism that controls tension. Taking it down off the mount and looking at each end, there should be some type of fixed pin at one end and the other some form of end that meets a bracket on the window frame.
One common type is just a flat point on the shade which fits into a slot on the frame.
Different types are out there but a common type is a flat pin on the roller fits down into a groove on the frame. To adjust how much tension is put on the internal spring, we rotate the shade while holding the pin. Putting more turns on the pin and spring attached to it, we can get more or less tention by the number of turns !
Common problems?
One is the shade falls off the bracket and the pin rotates so we have NO tention if we just put it back on the brackets. We need to rewind the spring tention on the pin.
Two is the mounting slot where this pin sets may get rounded out and let the flat pin rotate and we need a new mounting braket.
Three might be that the spring inside the roller has broken or come loose and we need to go for a new shade!
Fussy, irritating, and akward but they have been good enough for a hundred years, so we still live with it!

If it's a manual pull-down shade and all tension is lost. Remove the roller from the brackets. Manually roll up the shade material onto the roller. Replace roller in brackets.
