I replaced the rear window in the door of my 2012 Lance 855S camper with one that is a clear bronze tint. The original window is a textured frost. Why, I can not tell you. I enjoy the new window because now I can see out the back of the camper while inside. I'll post up photos tomorrow.
I bet with the light on inside the TC, and dark outside, people can see inside the TC. Do you have a curtain?
I have wanted to change mine for years, but not enough room between the screen and door for a curtain.

Yes. The camper comes stock with a pull-down shade. I can't figure out why Lance went with the frosted window there. All the other windows are clear bronze tint with shades, they put a shade on this window too. The bronze glass is safety glass and cost me $24 and some of that putty tape stuff for caulking. It's a clamp/clamshell design and was very easy to change out. Maybe took me 15 to 20 minutes to perform. DW loves that she can now look out back and see if someone is coming in and who it is. If it were me, and I had the frame, I would have put in a longer window for even more light and view. There is one thing to consider; this is a single pane window and will condense water on it when it's cold out. It was pretty neat to see the window in the dining slide right next to this door window; one a dual pane, the other a single pane and observe the difference in the condensation. There was none on the dual pane.
I'm sure the frosted glass also had condensation, but since you cant see through it anyways, you couldn't tell. Maybe that is why Lance used a frosted glass; didn't want to pay for a dual pane window and didn't want folks to complain about the condensation blocking the view.
