I would like to replace the entry door window frosted glass with clear glass in our 2005 Northern Lite 10-2 CD. Have your done this? I found a kit advertised online but didn't find any user evaluations so don't know if the kit is worth buying.

The rings around the glass are relatively easy to take off with only a few screws. Measure it and go to a glass provider. It should be made out of tempered glass.

I did this on my Class C and a few others have too, one with a Truck Camper and with curtains .Click Here for that thread.

I went the other way. Couldn't believe BF made the effort to provide privacy all the way around, except for the rear door window. A little frosted film and all is well. Can still see out the back by opening the blind on the other rear window by the dinette. And if we sell it to an exhibitionist, the film is easily removed.

RV parts stores have just the replacement glass if that's all you want.

I have done this twice. The first time I had a local glass shop do it. The second time, I did it myself.

It was just enough of a PITA that I would recommend having a glass shop do it.

And yes, the view out is awesome. If you need privacy, get curtains or blinds.

I took my glass out and went to the local glass shop. They worked with me and we selected a bronze security one way glass. I can see out, but others can't see in. Works GREAT!

I like it, thanks. I'll keep that solution in mind.

Can you post a picture?

I’m gonna try!

A video of several upgrades I made including the replacement of the rear door glass. I ordered a piece of tempered glass cut to size which ran about $25 and then had a window tinting company film it to 22% for another $20. You can see the results in the video. I also added a roller blind on the inside of the cabin that can be accessed with both doors closed. The window upgrade starts around the 7 minute mark in the video.

The above is what I did. It shows the basic install/removal on and RV door window, which is straight forward.

The one I did on my AF 811

The one I installed on my Nash

Note that the shade is blocked by the screen door, and not reachable from inside when the door is closed.
