I was going to replace the frosted glass in the door with tinted glass and a new plastic frame, but with the cost of the glass and frame plus shipping I could, for a few bucks more I get this neat window that opens and doesn't have a cheap plastic frame that has to be replaced every few years and it matches the rest of the windows in the RV.This is the best replacement window yet, the EDWIN by Atwood. At Easy WindowsWhy didn't the MFG put these in to begin with? Instead of the cheezy plastic rimed things?Privacy glass and it opens, easy install as shown here and looks just like the rest of the windows in the MH.The frames come in black or white.(on edit see mine on page 4)

Brilliant! I have spent $150 on worse things... Would need a shade for that one, so add another $20 for the basic one.

I hated the old outdated cheap junk standard door window so much that I had it deleted so that door didn't have any window.......couldn't see out the dang things anyway and 'no window' doesn't leak :BMight look into this window.Thanks for the link!

EDWIN solves a problem I didn't know I had for the last 8 years.

My trailer came without a window in the door. I saw the Edwin and was sold. Exactley what I was looking for. Installation was a breeze and I am very happy with it.

I don't get the "slider window" part. I have a screen door. There's no easy access to the slider when both doors are closed. The privacy tinting is great - BUT - does it block the heat from the sun? I have reflective foil permanently velcro'd to the window. I think I'd rather have an entry camera over the door with a monitor inside AND no window at all.

Problem solved with the cargo door window screen. went to local true value and picked up a make your own screen kit, it comes with 90 deg corners, so all I did was grind them to form the radius for the bottm part of the window. and walla all done and works like a champ

Hey they look good even on an old RV. I found this one on a 1984
Class C. Makes it look like a much newer one.

If I were to add one of these, I would save the old one so that if I decided to buy a different RV, this one would go with me and the original would go back from whence it came.

Just a note along the same lines of replacing the crappy door window. I took my crappy looking old door to the auto body shop. I had to drive my fiver past the shop where they used some sort of camera held up to the outside wall, which gave them the color match. After they painted it, it matched perfectly. I am as pleased as punch. They charged me #100, but I took the door off and removed all the hardware before taking it to them. I also did all the reinstall work.

Let's see some pics of everyones screen mod after they install this window. That is the only downside I can see.

So much better, and more light more air and able to see more scenery.

I like it!!!

Sigh, I'll admit - it took me this long to read the real description and realize this is just the window. BUT- I think I'm in!

I really like this idea--here's my question: What would prevent someone from using a regular RV window in the door? Is there something special about it other than size? Right now I don't have a window in the door at all (though I have one of the cheap windows that was given to me laying around), so size really doesn't matter. Thoughts?
