Project Skirting: Level Expert
With the recent cold front that blasted its way through the state, we were in desperate need of a skirt for Bertha. Instead of trying to tough it out until December when we were up for a skirting company to come out and do it for us we went the route of DIY and M was very crafty and made us a fantastic skirt! I think Home Depot may love us with how many trips we've made trips there since moving in to Bertha. One essential for surviving winter is a skirt. It can be made from tarps, plywood, or a fancy one that a company installs for you, but you HAVE to cut down the air flow under the belly of the rig otherwise you will be hurting units because it will get cold, pipes will freeze and things will go down hill from there (see post about pipes freezing. Lesson. Learned). Since getting the skirt up our heat seems to stay more constant and the floors aren't freezing, which is a major plus.
Isn't she pretty all dressed up in her nice new skirt! |
Another tip for keeping heat while full timing in the winter is to find some way to cover your windows and insulate them and keep the heat in. We opted for some thermal bubble wrap stuff and it has been amazing to feel the difference it makes between having it up and not having it up.
