Cold weather skirting around RV

[roller183]

I have a good list of materials for insulating the underbelly of the RV and plan on starting that project next week. After volumes of reading about cold weather/snow camping, skirting is one item thats said to help a bunch in keeping tanks/lines from freezing.

Dumb question. I priced skirting from a company that said 2000.00 for material type skirting. This should be the only winter I'll be trying this.

What other materials, not too pricey and acceptable to RV parks do folks use?

Thanks for your input.

Please do not use hay bales.

The fire hazard, and the odds of pest infestation too high.

Friends of ours full-time in theirs and this is what they used when they were wintering here. It can get in the -0 during the winter and stays below 32 for many days in a row.

Polystyrene

They cut it to fit and for $8.84 per 8' sheet, they did theirs for less than $200. They fitted them together using gorilla tape (duct tape) and then they spray painted theirs to match their trailer. It looked very nice.

When the season was over, they did keep it and used it again the next winter with just a little bit of adjustments.

They also had two light bulbs under the trailer for added heat.
