I've seen a company sell skirting that has a Reflectix backing which is is very similar to what you mention. Instead of duct tape, it would be nice to go with Velcro or a removable fastener that doesn't compromise water resistance. Of course, vents need to be minded so the generator exhaust and the furnace are not covered.
The door you mentioned is something I'd like to do as well, as it would allow plenty of storage underneath. With a decent battery bank (especially once I get this solar trailer built), I can run a 100 watt light bulb or a Lasko "personal" electric heater in that space overnight. I like this idea because it means less work on the furnace at night as a good chunk of air the camper is exposed to will be warmer, as it breaks the wind.
Of course, it would be easy to remove the panels and put them away so the camper is ready to use the rest of the year.
