No matter where you live or travel to, a skirt can protect your investment from the elements and your wallet from exorbitant fuel costs associated with heating and cooling. Yes, even in the south. The space under your home is prone to allowing heat escape (and cold air to come in), so all homes will see a marked improvement during colder months.
If you live in an area where pipes can freeze, insulated tiny home skirting or insulated RV skirting can prevent your pipes from freezing and bursting during cold weather and save money on fuel to heat. Our customers tell us they save at least 50% on propane bills.
But, skirting can do more than save quite a bit on energy costs. The same insulated skirting for winter can also be used year-round. Just as heat escapes through your floor during the winter, air conditioning escapes during the summer. So, leave your skirting on year-round for maximum energy efficiency. Our non-insulated wind skirt also protects your investment from the wind and sun. As a bonus, the underpinning provides extra storage for your larger outdoor toys without looking cluttered.
We currently have a variety of RV skirting solutions available. Our options include:
Although we started out as RV Skirting Pros, we have expanded to include a tiny house skirting option. We also offer tiny house skirting to accommodate more tiny living lifestyles!
Yes! We have worked with both homeowners and tiny home manufacturers to create custom insulated skirting for tiny houses. We also have non-insulated, tiny home wind skirts available.
We currently offer our standard non-insulated wind skirt in black.
Our insulated skirting is available in black or white. We used to offer other color options, but they rarely sold.
We recommend scheduling an installation in warmer months to beat the rush and avoid weather delays.
We can make custom RV skirting and tiny home skirting for you anytime. We produce them here in the USA all year long! March-July is the best time for the quickest RV skirt because it’s warm, so there isn’t a rush of families trying to get and stay warm for winter camping. Our peak season is August-February, especially when the temperatures dip. During the winter months, EVERYONE wants a skirt (and wants it NOW)! Unfortunately, sometimes the pipes are already frozen at that time of the year with no way to unthaw them except wait for warmer temperatures.
We also cannot install The R-Skirt in the rain or heavy snow. So, unfortunately, your RV and tiny home skirting install date will have to be rescheduled in case of inclement weather. So avoid the rush and order early!
The cost for 5th wheel skirting is typically higher than its travel trailer skirting or camper skirting counterparts simply because of the size. A 5th wheel is larger, and the actual fifth wheel panel is a lot of material (25′ x 10′). This panel covers the entire hitch section of your 5th wheel unit. We highly recommend enclosing the hitch area for maximum efficacy because an exposed hitch cools down the entire frame of your camper.
Do you have a Mobile Suites 5th Wheel? Please contact us if you’re ordering for a Mobile Suites 5th Wheel prior to purchasing.
If you didn’t receive enough panels, one of two things happened. Either something went wrong during the measurement process, or we’ve made a mistake. We are all human.
Please give us a call at 574-402-0055, and if we didn’t send you the correct number of panels you ordered, we apologize and will ship the missing panel immediately at no additional cost to you!
However, if you provided us with an incorrect measurement, you will have the option to purchase the additional panels at retail cost (plus the cost of shipping).
We take extreme care in properly manufacturing and packaging our products for shipment. If merchandise is damaged or lost by the transportation companies, you can refer to the “Damaged or Lost Orders” section in our TERMS & CONDITIONS.
Yes, we are real! We’ve been around since 2017 and have countless happy customers.
We are also a homeschooling family of five with a family-owned and operated business, and we are always on the go. Sometimes, we travel to install skirting!
Our tiny living community is important to us. We understand that many of you are lineman, travel nurses and other transient workers with LONG hours, six days a week. We also know that travel days for RV families often don’t follow a predictable schedule. So we try to answer the phone when you call, because who knows what the rest of your day looks like and phone tag wears out quickly for everyone.
If you need to text us you can but at (574) 328-1326. Our other number is the main business phone and we will NOT receive text messages.
And, in the ever-changing world of cell phone technology, it seems that more and more people prefer to just text. So, to make communication easy for all walks of life and all schedules, we offer both texting and phone call options (on our cell phones).
We do not need to do a preliminary fitting before purchase or installation.
The only information we need to create a custom RV skirt is:
*If you have a 5th wheel, we need the length excluding the hitch area and the slides that are in the upper section.
Are you able to provide us with the year, make, and model of your unit? That information generally gives us all the details we need to put together an accurate quote.
Yes! We can travel to customers within 300 miles of Akron, Indiana. If you are outside of our service area, we may be able to make special arrangements if multiple customers are in one location.
We also have Certified Third-Party Installers throughout the United States for your installation needs. Contact us for details.
We recommend you run as much plumbing as you can under the skirting and then run it out where the panels connect (if possible). Then, you would drape the skirting material over your sewage lines.
We don’t create direct access to dump valves, but we try to land a nearby panel connection. Sometimes, this can be challenging because of their placement and spacing.
If you want direct access then you can purchase an access panel and install it. You can find that product here.
Our skirting canvas is flame retardant, UV-protected and mold and mildew resistant 18 oz, 22 mm PVC-coated durable vinyl.
The insulated skirting option is made of the same material as the non-insulated wind skirt, but it is six layers thick, four of which are durable foam pieces. It is the only skirt that provides an insulation value of R-7. In addition, we are the only tiny home or RV skirting manufacturer in the market to offer insulated RV skirting with an R-value with a temperature rating of -2ºF to -11ºF. Our materials can withstand temperatures to -40ºF.
Yes! In addition to our Standard Skirt, we also have an insulated version, known as The R-Skirt.
The insulated skirting option is made of the same heavy-duty vinyl material as the non-insulated wind skirt, but it is six layers thick, four of which are durable foam pieces protecting you from winter’s cold winds. It is the only skirt that provides an insulation value of R-7. We are the only tiny home or RV skirting manufacturer in the market to offer insulated RV skirting with an R-value with a true temperature rating of -2ºF to -11ºF. Our materials can withstand temperatures to -40ºF. Our RV skirting for winter is made to keep you warm no matter where you go.
Please select the insulated version at checkout.
Our skirting system uses a Keder track system, also known as an awning track. This PVC track makes it easy to cut to the desired length to fit around doors and slides. We ship this track to you in 7’5″ strips, with the 3M VHB tape pre-applied to the back.
We don’t send you just a 110′ roll of material to deal with. We do all of the prep work for you to make installation a breeze. We size the roll of 18 oz PVC-coated vinyl to 8′ long by 60″ tall panels. A PVC Keder cord is center-sewn into the canvas so the panel slides right into the track after the initial install. Then, each panel cleanly connects together using a high-quality velcro material.
You’ll have the Keder track system with the VHB tape already pre-applied out of the box. Plus, your heavy-duty vinyl skirting panel with a sewn-in Keder cord will be cut into manageable 8′ sections.
We HIGHLY recommend screwing the track on every 2′. This is how we do it during installation, and we send you the screws along with The R-Skirt RV skirting kit. The screws will also come with the tiny home skirting kit.
No one enjoys drilling holes into the exterior facade of their RV or tiny home.
Then, there was that one time that we tried an alternative skirting when we first were starting as an RV family. But, unfortunately, when we went to trade our fifth wheel, the dealership was not a fan of the turn buttons we installed every 12 inches.
That was the moment that sparked the journey. We needed an option to stay warm without ruining our investment. The R-Skirt Skirting System track attaches to your tiny home or RV using 3M’s VHB tape. Then, we place the screws every 2-3 feet instead of every 12 inches.*
*If there are areas on your camper where the track cannot adhere to maintain the functionality of your investment, we install screw snaps, like on your slideout sidewalls.
The R-Skirt insulated skirting for winter is the only one on the market to feature R-7 insulation value, or any R-value at all! In addition, the insulated R-Skirt is the only skirting on the market with a proper temperature rating of -2º to -11º F, although our materials can withstand temperatures of -40º. Create a durable shield against the cold with six layers of insulating material quilted together. The R-Skirt keeps you cozy wherever the road takes you.
Both of our skirting options require fewer holes in your camper. When it comes to your home, the fewer buttons and holes in the RV— the better! We learned the hard way with our dealership that installing buttons every 12 inches can void the warranty.* Our RV skirting track system requires only five screws across an 8′ section of track. Also, there are lots of gaps for warm air to escape in the turn-button system. Although you want some airflow, The R-Skirt skirting track system keeps more of the heat in.
There really wasn’t a suitable skirting solution available, so we created one with all of the features we were looking for.
*We recommend contacting your warranty provider before adding skirting to ensure coverage.
We do use snaps in certain sections, only where it is necessary for your RV features to function. For example, the slideout sidewalls will not go in and out with turn buttons or the track installed. Snaps are small enough to allow your slideouts to function as they should, without destroying the seals. There are a few other places where we may have to put a snap (but we do this sparingly).
While wood might have a better insulation value, look at its time to put it up. Now consider taking it apart and moving it. How do you haul it with you? And you will more than likely need to buy new material when you move because the ground levels will not be the same at your new location.
Our skirting is designed to be put up and taken down in about 15-20 minutes after the first installation. It is also designed for uneven locations, and it packs away much smaller and lighter than other materials.
The non-insulated RV skirt will fold up and fit into a 20x20x20 size box for storage, even for a larger fifth wheel. The insulated RV skirting could fit in two 25x25x25 size boxes for a larger 5th wheel.
We will take checks at the time of your order, but your order will not be processed until the check has cleared. This may result in shipping and installation scheduling delays for your RV or tiny home skirting.
