A lot cheaper and faster than plexiglass is the shrink plastic "storm window" kit sold all over in the fall. We used it last winter in KS and it really cut the draft off the door when the wind blew. Pulled it off this spring and have plenty for two more times from a $5 storm door kit.
Had some small pieces of plexi-glass i cut to 2" high by long enough to go in behind the stiles of the medicine cabinet. We didn't need to even glue them with so much stuff in there and they remove for easy cleaning.
Also drilled a small hole in the commode room light and wired a 12v white led across the switch terminals. Now with the wall switch on and the fixture switch off, we have a perfect night light for boondocking.
Took out the HEAVY 27" tube tv, mounted the new LCD on a swinging door in front of the old hole and now have 30"x30"x 24" inches more storage.
Replaced the cruddy surround sound system with a car stereo with rear and front inputs and 4 speaker output. Plug the TV audio out in for lots less draw on the battery, don't even need the inverter for radio/cd.
A 12" or so fan for my Ryobi batteries that moves a lot of air for hours and the batteries charge in one hour.
