Entry door window "covering"?

Lots of light comes thru the fifth wheel entry door window. Cannot see out of it anyhow so would like to "darken" it somewhat. Have tried various things such as curtain at times you don't want lots of light coming in and not satisfied. Do not want to put the foil type thing on it, but may have to. Have seen some campers with a decorative sort of something or other in the window like stained glass or etched glass. Where do you get things like that? Looked on Camping World and didn't see anything like that. Any suggestions welcomed. I wish they just came with smoke colored glass!!

    our MH has a residential style window shade over the entry door. works very well keeping light out.
  • Go to Home Depot/Lowes and stroll around the window blinds area.

    They have vinyl type window coverings that you cut to fit and apply....like window tinting material.

    Lots of designs.

    OR you could remove window and have a replacement glass cut in dark tint to fit frame then reinstall. Easy DIY project.
  • Window tint film would be my first suggestion. You might also search out a sign shop and try to find a vinyl picture you like.
