Valence, cornice, lambequin, I believe Deuce is talking about these things that go around the windows:
These are invariably upholstered with the ugliest fabric available. In a previous trailer, I removed them and replaced them with ones I made from oak and stained. If you have miniblinds, they are function in the sense that they keep the blinds from bouncing around when in transit.
If you have pleated shades, they don't do much to keep the shades in place (since the shades are tethered) but visually they do hide the top bar, and as was noted, offer some light protection on the sides.
I removed them in our latest truck camper project and never looking back!
The picture shows exactly what was in my motorhome. They are gone (out with the garbage) and so are the blinds they covered. I put up regular house curtain rods and curtains. No regrets. Now I can change curtains at will.
