Which RV Shade Repair Kit for 2021 Forest River 240RE  

Updated 09/21/2026 | Published 09/18/2026

Question:

I have a 2021 forest river 240re 5th wheel. The roller shade on back on the escape window has failed. It will not stay down. The frame is 32 inches wide. Which internal assembly do I need? Not sure if its the 17mm or 28mm. Please verify and send purchase link.

Hey Larry, I don't have a way to know exactly what size spring you need but I can for sure help you determine which you need. 17 mm is about 11/16" (roughly dime-sized), while 28 mm is about 1-1/8" (a little larger than a quarter).

The part # MC44SR is for if you need 28 mm or the part # MC24SR is for if you need 17 mm. If you are unsure still let me know and I'll see if there's another way to ID it.

Have replaced 3 in ‘22 model RV and they all work grate. Yes, be sure to get the correct roller size, 17 or 28 mm ! Easy to replace !
