Door window glass

I changed out my frosted glass upper window to smoked glass ordered from a local glass shop (20 bucks). I then installed a cheap roller shade from Ikea above the door for privacy at night. During the day you can't see into the camper with the smoked glass.
I don't like any of the snap covers or integrated window shades as you need to open the door and separate the screen door to operate them. With the roller shade it can be raised and lowered without having to open the door.

Two solutions:

Install this screen door handle higher than the window and hang a towel on it:

Or install this window with integrated shade:

Wow, I must be cheap. Mine has clear glass. I got some sticky bubble wrap someplace and used that to cover all but the top 1/2 inch. Instant privacy glass. To get additional privacy when I'm in the camper I just open the bathroom door which swings right across the door. Unless somebody can see thru wood and focus thru bubble wrap, they ain't seeing anything.

Where did you get the clear glass?

I got ours from local glass shop. I just took old glass to them to match. They also had the thin mastic tape ours uses to seal, though caulk likey work.

My 2017 BF 10.4 came stock with clear upper glass in door. I Factory ordered with no lower glass. Do not need it, and less concern of break in point. I cut & fit Reflectix for door glass. Keeps heat & cold out, and blackout shade for Wally parking.
I like the post above with the roller shade. Something I thought about but never got it done. Would work well with the bolster BF has above door.

This is hung with tension rods top and bottom.
I bought the curtain at Walmart. I got a 36 inch set and cut down the one panel and sewed a hem for the bottom to fit tension rod to hold it in place.
A 24 inch curtain might work without having to sew a hem.

I replaced our frosted glass with a piece of tempered glass I had cut to size. I then used window tint film (78%) for desired effect.
Then added a $15 blackout curtain from Ikea to keep night time eyes from seeing in and also to block light from entering. You can't see in no matter how close you are in daylight and looking out is perfect.

Clear glass at the bottom pane of the window allows me to see cars following close behind the camper.

Unless the front window in camper is offset to one side, or you have an e-cab or crew cab truck.

Clear but there is a pull down shade. It's a side entry and the window is high off the ground and doesn't reveal where we would normally change our clothes so it usually stays up.

My screen door has a pull down shade on the inside to obscure the upper window. As I remember camping world carries the upper door replacement glass
