Hi: All... I cut out a piece of my wifes now unused Yoga mat to fit in the door window. Happens to be blue and matches all the night lights in the trailer. Seems we always get a site under a lamp post somehow!!! Alf

You can buy a roll of this frosted stuff at almost any hardware or even some dollar stores...cheap. The roll will last you a lifetime of replacements and give you something to do while camping. Just cut a bunch out and have them on hand.

I also went with the "piece of reflectix sandwiched between" strategy, though later added some velcro to help it stay. It helps with keeping things hot or cold as needed as well, but does have one downside: condensation can form in-between and lead to mold growth. Luckily there's no wood in there so it's easily eradicated, but something to be aware of.

When we first got our Escape, several years back, the first thing I did was make blackout curtains. The stock blinds did not block out enough light for me so I
got lightweight blackout panels from Jysk and cut and hemmed them for all the windows. I had so much material left, I made blackout panels for the door window too that attach with velcro. We also changed all the roof vent covers to a smoke tint and for the small amount of light that the Max Fan lets in, have a retractable car window shade that reduces the light yet allows air movement. I even had a small flap for nights to cover the original stereo which for some reason had no ability to dimmer the screen.

Many years ago, I bought a kit called Gallery Glass that had simulated liquid lead and different liquid paint colours to make your own faux stained glass. I printed a design I liked and taped it to the outside of my bathroom window facing in, traced the pattern with the liquid lead and fill in the colours I wanted. I found if I swirled the paint colours, it looked like mottled glass when it dried. It fooled many a person and lasted many years before I changed the rooms design and just scraped it off the window. It was an inexpensive way to get the look of stained glass. I believe Gallery glass is still available through online vendors like Walmart and Amazon.

Different people seem to have different tolerances as to how much light there is before they have difficulty sleeping. I seldom have difficulties sleeping, even when it is quite light out. I find the standard Escape curtains are more than enough for me.

Foam earplugs and light blocking eye mask work well whilst taking daytime naps. Both are inexpensive as well as effective.

I used command strips (with the metal part bent a bit to avoid contact with the screen door) and a rod from one of those display flags. I also used a piece of blackout curtain (the one i use inside to block off bed was too long) that can be attached with velcro. The whole thing sometimes blows off if I have the door open, so I am going to figure out something...maybe to block the top of the command hooks, or velcro on the curtain and door itself. Also in the photo you can see my solution to trying to reach the door handle from inside.

The light doesn’t bother me. I can sleep with lights on. But it does bother my spouse. While camping in one location where she complained about light coming in the window, I taped a piece of cardboard over the window. When we got home, I put two small command hooks above the door and cut a piece of mat that is used in the drawers of (rolling) tool chests that would cover the window and installed two grommets spaced to fit over the command hooks. For those who know the layout of the 5.0TA, I attached 2 additional command hooks on the inside of the wardrobe door where the makeshift “curtain” hangs During daylight hours or in campsites where it is not needed. In five years with the Escape, it has only been needed in two locations where nighttime light shone in. I really don’t want a permanent curtain on the door as it allows more light in during the day.
