Last year we made a plywood skirt to enclose the bottom of our travel trailer. It made such a difference that we decided to skirt our guest room/office trailer this year. We have discovered that skirting our RV has reduced our heating costs, helped us to stay warmer and also prevents our trailer from swaying in the wind.
The materials needed for this project are pretty simple. We used four sheets of half inch plywood, screws ranging in size from 1 inch to 1 and 5/8 inch, scrap plywood and 2x4s, plus the supplies for painting.
Our recent “Indian summer” in November nearly fooled us and we had to scramble to get this project done when the freezing temperatures set in last week. We constructed and installed the trailer skirt over the course of two days. All in all, its a pretty straight forward project – but it does a whole lot to keep us warm!
