Hey,I got a question, so I'm about to put a skirt on my camper (using some black 6 mil polyethylene plastic I have, and hope to beef it up before January) I noticed the propane heater exhaust is kind of warm itself and was thinking about routing it with ducting under the skirt to warm things up.I'm thinking it could be a great idea or it could be dangerous (maybe it seeps into the camper and I take a lil too long of a nap lol) what do y'all think?Also if anyone has some ideas to insulate the windows other than plastic and tape I would love to hear them.Thanks!

One good thing about carbon monoxide is it won't give you a headache or make you feel sick.

no you cannot do thatand astrofoil on the windowsand,skirt the bottom of the trailer with insulation board

Bad idea! :EYou already answered your own question: "it could be dangerous (maybe it seeps into the camper and I take a lil too long of a nap".Along with that you would be adding quite a bit of moisture that would come from the furnace exhaust.

Newman, I'm liking what Ive read about that astro-foil. I'm wanting to make something worth re-using and that seems like the stuff. What kinda board would you recommend for the skirt? And jayco how does your skirt attatch? I'm thinking when I find the right materials Id adhear buttons to the camper for easily taking off and putting on but I'm not sure f that's a solid idea.
