Installing a skirt on front overhang
New to the world of fifth wheels. Looking for a place to store bikes out of the weather, I bought an ADCO skirt. The instructions that came with it are minimal. Not sure whether to place the snaps on...

I attached mine with the snaps along the sides and front. If I were you I would place them on the underside if possible. Rain water runs down the side of the 5th wheel and past my cover. With the snaps on the underside you wouldn't have that problem. Not sure if the cover would fit properly though.
I get past the water leaking by keeping everything away from the sides and towards the center of the storage area.
Also, I made a frame out of PVC pipe and elbow joints to place at the bottom. I use zip ties to attach the bottom of the skirt to the PVC frame. This helps keep the skirt from flapping. I also use stakes or weights (if on concrete) to hold it taunt. The PVC frame comes apart and I carry it in the back of my truck.
