Weather skirting
Hi Tim,
I have my 5th wheel fully skirted. It's not cheap, but it should not be as expensive as mine was.. I got ripped off with the material that was used.. The shop made mine out of the same material that they make those white colored boat covers out of and it's only a little heavier than the material used to make tire covers with.
I paid $900.00 for my custom made skirt. That is about $400.00 more than it should have cost, but they had me over a barrel and I was stuck.
What ever you do, DON'T USE THAT PLASTIC COVERED MATERIAL... have it made out of what is sometimes called "Chair Canvas"
Remember that the main purpose of the skirting is to only keep the wind from blowing under the trailer. It's not meant to insulate.
If you want to insulate, then think about using the 2" thick x 24" x 48" Styrofoam panels. They can be cut with a butcher knife to fit any angle or shape. And they are the best insulation for what you are trying to do..
If you want to know how I attached the foam panels to my trailer a couple of years ago, drop me an email or contact me on any of the seven RV forums that I'm on.
oh... and if iRV2.com ever gets back up and running, you will be able to see photos of my trailer with the skirting on it. The url is

I'll be glad to help in any way I can..
