Shop around for best price.

I like it. But, at 93 dollars I think I will just keep using my curtain that is Velcro d over the window.

Was watching a TV show or reading a book (Sometimes confuse them) where it was suggested you could knock on a door and when the peep hole darkened (indicating someone pressed their eye to it) Shoot to kill.

I like the spy camera Just add a screw or replace a screw only the screw is the camera. I've seen cameras where I knew exactly where they were and still could not spot 'em. and they work one way.

Ordered our DRV without a window or peep hole. Simply look out the window next to the door if needed.

It needs to be darker inside than outside for the "one way" glass to work, not a good option!

Window with built in window blind is the best option IMHO.

Right on! No need to change the glass, just get the partially reflective film to put on it.

You might find a curtain and camera/monitor better.

I did this on my Class C so I could see out.

One way glass so we still have privacy. Any body done this too?

The problem.. If it is night then anyone can see INTO your RV but you can not see out (The person on the darker side sees the glass as clear) IN the day.. Well it's iffy depending on how bright the sun is (Again the person on the DARK side can see out or in)

So I would not recommend this

WHat can you use?

Many "Spy" cameras. some look like a bolt or screw.. They can feed AV in on the TV or the RING doorbell (And several other products) can feed your phone.

Put in safety glass, clear, and use a magnetic strip on the top with a matching one in the curtain. Darkness comes, and up goes the curtain.

technology changes

but the one way glass, i'm familiar with is mirrored, not tinted

as long as the mirror reflecting side is brighter the darker room on the back side can see through,

using that in an RV window might not work so well at night, lights on inside dark outside, they could see thru to you

the tint type glass covering might be better, i don't know ?

thin i would just mount a camera over the door, and a monitor inside

I would just swap out the OEM glass with clear tempered glass that you apply limo tint to. That should give you about as much privacy as you need and if its not enough they sell reflectix covers that attach with velcro at the four corners
