Some friends fulltime in their 5th wheel and travel with a company to job sites throughout the US. Instead of a vinyl shower curtain, they utilize the 1/2" paperbacked or foil-backed styrofoam insulation. They attach it to the underside of their trailer using duct tape or gorilla tape and they have painted it to match their 5th wheel. They were able to cut it to fit and numbered it to reuse. It adds very little weight to travelling. It is not expensive and they did their entire trailer with 5 or 6 sheets and a roll of tape. They even cut out a door to put items in/out under the kingpin area. It is reusable and allows them to winter in places that they would not normally be able. They use a couple of light bulbs to heat underneath. I don't know if this would work for you, but it will give you something to think about.
