day night shades
where can I find the small plastic bobbins that the day night shade strings wrap around to adjust tension .

I also use a sewing machine bobbin. Actually I don't know why d/n shades need the spool on the bottom. Looks like it could just be hooked to a screw,,,, but I'm not sure.
The original OEM bobbin has a slot to capture the string after you've pulled it nice and tight and wrapped it around the bobbin a few times. A screw wouldn't have that so you'd be looking at using some other method.
Another reason to use a bobbin (OEM or sewing bobbin) is that as the RV travels, the shades move, sway and get jerked around. A smooth plastic bobbin prevents string breakage you'd likely get from a rough metal screw.
