Entry Door Window, how do I get privacy at night?

[stevekk]

Any suggestions on how I add privacy.... like a
curtain, shades, blinds, louvers, etc.

My MH has a curtain with 3 snaps that hangs down from the inside wall, in front of the entry door window.
And is very awkward going in and out of door, since this curtain is always hanging in front of me.

Does anybody make a entry door window with blinds between 2 panes of glass?
Electric operated?

Any and all other ideas appreciated. Thanks..

My friend went down to Mexico and got a beautiful stained glass made to fit and it was beautiful

I found at Home Depot, a plastic window covering in various designs and colors. All you do is wet it, the apply to a window. And it stays in place. We have had it installed in our 5 er for 11 1/2 years, and that included the hot sun beating down. And they, that is Home Depot, still have it. I saw it there about a month ago in the area of window coverings, rugs etc.

Small roller blackout shade. Good for sun also. Home depot will usually cut them down for you or ...



Black out roller shade Good for sun and privacy. It can be installed on the door so no fighting to go in and out

I have a round porthole window in my door and two oval portholes at the front of the house (on either side of the cab). It came with snap on covers, but I hated them. So, I got some window film (https://www.wallpaperforwindows.com/pc/Window-Film-All-Designs-c61.htm) and used that.

I got the opaque so you can't see inside - but it still lets some light inside.

The ovals are a green film:


And the round is an oval with a cutout (so I can see out):


They stick very nicely, yet you can remove them if you change your mind. And there are so many colors, patterns, and styles to choose from.

My wife found a dishtowel with a nice scene on it almost the same size as the window in the door. Did the same thing as Poppy & Nana to our bedroom door window.

We use privacy film which is available in a variety of themes. Easy to cut to size and changeable. We bought our roll at a flea market but it's also available at Lowe's, Bed, Bath & Beyond and even Amazon I think.

You can get magnetic curtain rods (Walmart). Buy two one for the top and one for the bottom That way you could put a curtain up and have it tight against the window.

Lots of creative and E-Z solutions.

While you ponder the perfect "fix" - just put aluminum foil on the inside of the window until you select a better option!..;)

The RV we have came with a plastic frosted window on the door, I found that on sertain ocasions my rear side view coinsided with where the window is, so I replaced it with an automotive aproved window and purchased a window cover at Camping World that spaps on with snap buttons, I take it off for travelling and on at night.

Now I have that critical 3 to 4 oclock view that the frosted plastic obscured before, so I whent the other way.

You could change the glass to frosted.Our 5th wheel came with it in the door window.
We also use the foil bubble wrap attached with a couple of short strips of white velcro
to cut the light,when needed.

X-2, ours came with a frosted window also.

they sell spray cans of frosting material,

One thing that I've noticed, though, is that the adhesive on the Velcro fails after being in high heat conditions when facing the sun. Maybe there is a high heat Velcro option?

Not to hijack the thread but just pass something along.
This Velcro is the toughest that I have found.

I did this, but with Reflectix type material (I cut a cheap windshield cover to fit). One thing that I've noticed, though, is that the adhesive on the Velcro fails after being in high heat conditions when facing the sun. Maybe there is a high heat Velcro option?
