Skirting ideas -> any successful DYI results

Looking to skirt the camper to gain extra months in the late fall and early spring season. Looking for anyone who might have a good solution.

Camper is out in a open field, so I am trying my best not to use material the critters will love to make nest out of (like straw bales).

Also want to avoid drilling any screws into the camper as well to hang the curtain type.


Thanks,
  • The first year we owned our RVision TrailCruiser hybrid I skirted it for the winter with inexpensive chipboard, painted black. Worked just fine and had I not later sold the trailer I'd probably have used it again the following winter. No issue, no critters, no snow under the trailer. :B

    Same here. 11 bucks at Lowes for a 4x8 sheet.

    Same thing here. If its gonna set there a long time and your soil is reasonable to dig in, I dug a shallow trench around the perimeter of the trailer to secure the bottom side of the foam board in.
