I've been pondering on this for several years now, should I want to skirt my trailer. My choice would be concrete curing blankets.
There is a company in CO that uses almost the same material and will come to your site, if local and install a full skirt with snaps and such. They aren't cheap.
FWIW, I've camped in a TT for over a week where the mercury barely reached 0f. We used boards and plywood to fashion a barrier and then heaped snow on the outside perimeter. It helped tremendously.
A member here, camped a full Winter in ND in his TT. He used foam board and blankets as his main skirting. He installed a thermometer on his axles and installed a couple of heat lamps under the trailer. He monitored temps underneath and, in mid Winter inspected the basement installation. Grass and weeds were growing there and may have been a problem if too close to the lamps. I suggested a root crop garden. ;)
