I'm going to be installing insulation boards around my non moving cougar 5th wheeler soon.Would be real easy if I could run a bead of some kind of glue/sealer along the lower outside of the rv and then stick the 1" thick 4foot wide boards to that then to the ground.Any body know of a sealer/glue that will clean up easy next spring when the shirting comes off?

Skirting??And, No, I'm not aware of any such adhesive.

Not sure of the composition of the insulation you will be using but you might also consider some of the various tapes available. On house trailers I see a 2x2 framing is often used.

RTV silicone would work but i would think insulation boards would be to light weight to with stand any type of wind

It is pretty strong, especially since it will be only about 2 feet high from ground to bottom of RV.I have a way of securing to the ground, my concern was/is the glue/sealers affect on the gel coat of the rv.Don't want to remove them next spring and pull chucks out of the Cougar!!

I would try installing them behind the bottom aluminum skirting. I would think you could Gorilla tape or silicone and adhere it to the coroplast. Of cousre you would have to climb under the rv to do this but you won't have to worry about damaged the outside.
