Any suggestions on how I add privacy.... like a curtain, shades, blinds, louvers, etc.My MH has a curtain with 3 snaps that hangs down from the inside wall, in front of the entry door window. And is very awkward going in and out of door, since this curtain is always hanging in front of me.Does anybody make a entry door window with blinds between 2 panes of glass?Electric operated?Any and all other ideas appreciated. Thanks..

Trim a piece of vinyl and add Velcro to strategic places - remove when not needed...

I'm sure you could come up with something simple.I notice doing a google search these slide curtains might do the job...Roy Ken

Not to sound like too much of a smart a$$ but there are several things available to use. Most Auto Window Tinting shops carry window films from hardly noticeable to almost total black out, There are many variations of the Velcro attached curtain. During storage I use the mylar covered bubble wrap(Reflectix) cut close enough that friction keeps it in place. Most RV's have screen doors so exterior shades can be used.Personally I find the standard old roll up shade works fine. Ours is attached to the sidewall above the aluminum door frame and YES after we close it at night, we have to retract it and when we're back inside, lower it. Not too big an inconvenience for once or twice an evening. The only time we use the shade is at night, during the day, there are things this old snoop likes seeing so the window is uncovered.Carefree makes several shades, from total block out to mild, manual to motorized, AutoMotion Shade too. I couldn't see any specifically for entry doors.There is a company that makes high end shades for MoHos. Several makes have them as standard equipment, I'm sure they have been approached with this situation and have an answer.

Mount a room darkener window shade on the inside of the door. Mine came with one from the factory.

You just do not have a problem. They sell venetian blinds that fit RV doors, they also sell nifty little roll up blinds that attach right to your door. They have Bali type accordion style blinds that will fit your door in hundreds of different shades. They all roll up out of the way or pull down to suit your needs. They are never in the way.

Entry Door Window, how do I get privacy at night?

I found at Home Depot, a plastic window covering in various designs and colors. All you do is wet it, the apply to a window. And it stays in place. We have had it installed in our 5 er for 11 1/2 years, and that included the hot sun beating down. And they, that is Home Depot, still have it. I saw it there about a month ago in the area of window coverings, rugs etc.

Small roller blackout shade. Good for sun also. Home depot will usually cut them down for you or order one from online that would be the exact size.

Black out roller shade Good for sun and privacy. It can be installed on the door so no fighting to go in and out

I have a round porthole window in my door and two oval portholes at the front of the house (on either side of the cab). It came with snap on covers, but I hated them. So, I got some window film (https://www.wallpaperforwindows.com/pc/Window-Film-All-Designs-c61.htm) and used that.

I got the opaque so you can't see inside - but it still lets some light inside.

The ovals are a green film:

And the round is an oval with a cutout (so I can see out):

They stick very nicely, yet you can remove them if you change your mind. And there are so many colors, patterns, and styles to choose from.

My wife found a dishtowel with a nice scene on it almost the same size as the window in the door. Did the same thing as Poppy & Nana to our bedroom door window.

We use privacy film which is available in a variety of themes. Easy to cut to size and changeable. We bought our roll at a flea market but it's also available at Lowe's, Bed, Bath & Beyond and even Amazon I think.

You can get magnetic curtain rods (Walmart). Buy two one for the top and one for the bottom That way you could put a curtain up and have it tight against the window.

Lots of creative and E-Z solutions.

While you ponder the perfect "fix" - just put aluminum foil on the inside of the window until you select a better option!..;)

The RV we have came with a plastic frosted window on the door, I found that on sertain ocasions my rear side view coinsided with where the window is, so I replaced it with an automotive aproved window and purchased a window cover at Camping World that spaps on with snap buttons, I take it off for travelling and on at night.

Now I have that critical 3 to 4 oclock view that the frosted plastic obscured before, so I whent the other way.
