Porthole window cover

What are people doing nowadays to cover the circular porthole window in the entry door? Mine has the rotating light filter but it does not make the interior completely dark when sleeping. I've read some old threads where an online store sold some kind of cover but they don't anymore. Interested to see what other people have done

    We live with it. You can get a piece of foam rubber (for seat cushions) and cut it slightly larger than the size of the window. Then all you need to do is stuff it in the porthole at night. For bonus points sew attractive fabric around the foam rubber.

    Hi,  

    I use a piece of opaque plastic that we velcroed around the perimeter for  both the bath room porthole and fan.  It makes the interior pretty dark even in the daylight.  Not very elegant, but works well and easily removeable  on a daily basis.  But we just leave the bath room on all the time.

    Purchased a sheet of reflective foil insulation, 3mm (16"x10').  Cut shades for all the windows on our t@b.  We use them when our t@b goes to the storage lot plus we use a large cover.  Carry them with us in the event we are at a site with no shade and want a bit more insulation from the sun shining through.  Never had an issue with light, our t@b is quite dark at night.

    For anyone in the future, I got a piece of black felt from Hobby Lobby and cut to size of the circle window on the entry door. Then I used some sticky velcro dots on the window to stick the felt on. Works great to keep the light down in the mornings especially.

    bought a flower at hobby lobby and glued it to a cake board I covered in fabric. It's so cute!

    Round styrofoam and cut it to fit. Use ours in bathroom. Works fine.
