Ken The guy on 'Love your RV' said the package for his was about 2500ca$ for about a 30 ft trailer. Yeah, its more expensive than I figured. If the snaps could be bought, I'm wondering about slide topper material. I have some left from when mine were replaced earlier in the Lockdown.

rdickinson Posted September 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 That seems more inline. Was that from a US supplier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl&Rita Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 For what you get, the price of the original post;s skirting seems high. We got a heavier Canadian set for ours, with 2 layers of Reflectix insulation inside the vinyl. IIt was priced at $2650, 6 years ago. It attaches with twist-type metal fasteners and snaps. The sections are zippered together, as they're too thick to roll up in one piece. If you think it;s expensive, you haven't priced out propane.

RandyA Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 In 1989 I lived in a 22' Wilderness travel trailer from January until May. Yes, it was a cold Virginia winter. My skirting to keep the cold winds out from under the poorly insulated underbelly of the unit were bales of straw, which at the time were $1 per bale. They worked extremely well and it was easy to size them as needed and remove one if necessary. I would not hesitate to use them again if I had to experience a winter other than the ones we enjoy in warmer Florida.

I'm not following you there unless you mean using more propane to heat the trailer without skirting.

TXiceman Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) RandyA, Hay bales are great insulators, however, they are great homes for vermin in the winter or summer.
