Window on rear bathroom door

At night when the light is on in the bathroom. My 2016 28BHBE has a crazed window , however, when someone is going to the bathroom or getting ready to take a shower, they can be seen. Not clearly but you can see them.
Right now, we have a long piece of aluminum foil hanging on the outside of the screen door but inside the main door so people can not see in.

What have you done to rectify this? We are open for ideas. Thought about using velcro and cutting a sun shade to size.

Wife cut a sunshade and we used the velcro-type command strips from 3M. The sunshade was laying around the garage so it only cost us the strips.

We have a 2015 28BHBE with the glazed window in the rear door, but don't seem to have the same issue. At night you can tell someone is in the bathroom but only have a view of their upper torso. It is so distorted that it is a non-issue, just like the glazed window in our house bathroom.

I think that I'd mount a tall, thin full length mirror over it, from either the inside or outside, whichever side the mirror would be handier...

It's don't bother me.... BUT, wife and daughters don't like the idea of people seeing in.

Either cut a piece of reflectix (found at lowes) and Velcro over the opening (What we have now), or go to the glass shop and have a piece of dark tinted tempered safety glass cut and replace it. Reflectix blocks everything; light and heat. We're replacing our entrance door soon, but I had just assumed spray paint the bathroom door window.

How about dark window tinting on the inside? or a curtain.

Can't tint the opaque window on the inside. BUT, you can take the glass out, tint the slick side, and flip the window around and reinstall that way. Somebody on here did that recently. Just have to deal with the textured side on the outside.

Home depot sells stick on window "glaze." Comes in a tube in various designs or shades of color. Just cut to fit and goes on with a little soap and water and a flat edge.

We used it in our home bathroom window. Still let's the light in but nobody can see in.

This is similar to what we used: Gila 36 in. W x 78 in. H Privacy Control Frosted Lattice Window Film-50188238 - The Home Depot

I bought this window shade from IKEA for $19.99 and it's a perfect fit and an easy pull down without those strings on the side. It pulls up past the door so you don't have to bend down when you exit.

Here is what my wife did to both the door windows.

First- She made curtains for all the windows inside the trailer out of "black out" curtains. She sewed up all the curtains to allow them to slip on to spring rods.

For the two door windows she made the curtain to size and sewed in a stiff wire to make it look like it is on a curtain rod. Then on the back she sewed one half of the item in the link and the other we removed a screw from each corner of the window and attached the other side. So technically it is actually "Velcroed" on but gives the appearance of a curtain rod. This allows us to easily remove the curtain if we want.

Just another idea

I would get some simple spray on window tint. Amazon has several variation in aerosol cans. Since it is already a textured window it will look like it came from the factory that way.

That's a great idea and gives it a good home feeling. It's that little extra effort that just warms the place up.

We used one of these. Works great and helps keep the trailer cooler. It only uses velcro, so you can take it on and off with ease.
