Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

RV Skirting


I just heard about this site today and thought I would share it since winter is fast approaching.  I have been looking for something like this and would love to hear from anybody that has tried it.

What do they mean, "COMPLETE AND NAILED IN PLACE" ?

1. I'm sure its quality material, but seems a little expensive to me.

2. The nail question...gotta attach it to something. I hope they are servicing permanently placed units only.

3. I lived in a permanently placed TT for 2 years once and had aluminum skirting. It cut down on the drafts and saved a little on electric.

4. Howard has mentioned a little annoying flapping of the slideout awnings in high winds. I would think these babies really flap-a-di-fla.

Wow, they sure are proud of it. Why not attach it with heavy duty velcro?

Thanks for the mention, Yes we are proud of our skirting, especially our top of the line-fully installed skirting nailed in place.  it is great for the windy areas of 70 mph winds gusts, the nail down straps are every 3' and adjustable for uneven areas. The skirt can also be sandbagged down or water bags for concrete pads or asphalt.

But we also have many other skirts Fit-N-Ship, Mail Order and do it yourself kits all the way down to $5.00 per foot for the economical and do it yourself person. But we also give hints and ideas on any type of skirting, wood insulation or tarps.. whatever, we don't want people to ruin the rv or the paint job, we cannot skirt the world so why not help as we can. If you are putting wood next to the RV use a 1 sided sticky foam insulation tape (1/2") between the wood and RV, all RV's move a bit even with all types of stands and jacks.  

Our skirts have been in use for 16 plus years, most people tell us they save half on the propane bill and women tell us they can walk barefoot again. If tou were going to stay in a spot for a long time I would reccomend painted wood with foam insulation behind it for best results in the cold. With this you can also stabilize your rv from moving a bit. raise the rv slightly after measuring, put the skirting under (foam taller) and set the rv down on it. Quite a few customers have mentioned this and with some caution it can help stop the rocking! 

Our customers have told us the awnings have ripped off, things have torn loose but our skirting has stayed in place. We have videos, pictures and all on our site.

We can do Velcro, snaps or turnbuttons, I wouldn't suggest the Velcro in high wind areas on a larger RV, maybe a small trailer low to the ground.
