I replaced my upper frosted glass with this: Tinted Window and integrated shade
Last year when I changed my upper window from the frosted type I was going to do the same as above. But then I realized at night you would have to open the door to get the screen door out of the way to operate the shade part.
So instead I just took apart the frame and glass, ordered a piece of smoked glass from a local glass shop ($20) and installed it in the original frame. The smoked glass option takes care of privacy during the day. You cannot see inside at all (unless your face is right at the glass) but looking outward the smoked glass barely changes the view.
For night time privacy I installed an Ikea pull down shade($6)above the door at the ceiling. Now this blind can be pulled down and raised with the door staying closed. Much better for security when something is happening behind the camper.
This whole mod got started after one morning when an overzealous camp host decided to knock on my door at 6am while it was still dark. It did not feel good opening that door not knowing who was there as the door glass is the only view out the back in my camper.
