The valance box Winnebago installs will serve for mounting. That is its function with the OEM blinds, they mount into the top of the box. Small ones with just the factory clip, longer ones into the clip and a couple of extra wood screws driven through the top of the blind into the top of the valance.
Most mini-blinds mount into clips that screw up into the top of a window opening or the sides. The clips have screw holes for both mountings, I've installed then both ways in my houses.
If you want roller shades or drapes, the mounting hardware will likely have to screw into the ends of the box.
Metal or plastic miniblinds work pretty well in towable RVs, but people who put them in motorhomes are sometimes bothered by the noise they make while they travel. Drapes are quite enough, roller shades behave pretty well when rolled up.
