5th wheel skirt

Hello All,
I have a 1988 Automate,with Aluminum siding. I ordered This
my question is: What would you suggest to me to do the job right and easier. Should I use epoxy with screws? It should be here tomorrow. I am guess that there won't be any instructions cause it is pretty strait forward. So thought I would ask. Thanks for all the advise in advance.

  • Orion
    we want to make ours also
    did you use the Velcro, and self stick to unit.
    pics maybe
    thanks.
  • I've thought about making my own just using some HD white tarp. My plan was to use industrial strength velcro. You can get an 8'x20' tarp on ebay for about $30. Have about another $40 in white velcro.
  • Mine came with stainles screws and snaps, I started in the middle front and worked around the sides no big deal, I did seal the screws with sealant. I like the skirt but it is a PIA to remove and fold up IMHO. Good luck.
  • I just used sheet metal screws on mine. Don't use epoxy because you'll never be able to replace it without a lot of extra work.
  • If you think you will ever want to remove and then reuse, don't use epoxy.
