After more than a decade of providing high quality shade and skirting materials, EZ Snap has thousands of happy customers. Here are some reviews that we have received from all over the USA,Canada, and Australia.
You included everything necessary to install the Skylight covers and the tool to cut the material you sent in the kit worked marvelously. We had enough material to attach the covers and then trim them.
We chose the white to reflect the hot desert heat we get at times here in western Texas and they look great.
We had material leftover to cover the bathroom window above the garden tub and the small adjacent window between the tub and the walk-in shower. Both of which have a western exposure on the alley entrance to garage. There is not a view and covering these windows also provides some additional privacy, so the use of the extra material was a win-win for us.
And now, several days later we can not only feel the difference too but document it! The air conditioner has been set at the same schedule and the daily external temperatures have been higher than the same period of days prior to installing the skylight shades and the air conditioner history shows that it used more electricity in the days immediately prior to the shades being installed!
We had hoped EZ Snap would make a difference. It exceeded all our expectations!

EZ Snap® Team - Happy to hear that EZ Snap Shades are keeping you cooler and saving energy! Thanks for the positive review and photos.
EZ SNAP shades have made a monumental difference in our rv life.
On 90 degree days, our fifth wheel was holding at 80 degrees or more.
After putting the EZ SNAP shades up, our rv is cooling to 72 degrees when it’s over 90 outside.
We wouldn’t be able to tolerate summer in our fifth wheel without these shades. I love that we can still see out as well, we didn’t have to give up our windows in order to stay cool.
We did a mix of on window and off depending on how the window opened or not. Both installations were easy and have held just fine.
Would highly recommend!
Jessica
EZ Snap® Team - Glad to hear that EZ Snap is keeping your RV cooler. Thanks for the review and photos.
I received my kit and submitted new measurements on the calculator before cutting the material.
Installed them and they look great! I will be writing a review on their performance after our camping trip in May.
Thanks for answering all my questions and the quick shipping.
Update June 11th…
Affordable, Easy to Install, Heat Reduction Solution for RV Windows that allow you to keep your view!
My only regret is that I did not discover these heat reducing sunscreens earlier!
The representatives were very patient with all my questions (I’m a perfectionist) and so helpful with all the tips they provided.
The kit arrived faster than I anticipated.
The instructions were easy to follow.
One of my concerns was how would the anchors look attached to the fiberglass siding of our RV. (See attached photos). I was so pleased with the color match. I could not have gotten a more perfect color match.
EZ Snap has a sample kit you can order which contains all the anchor colors as well as samples of all the materials you will use for your installation.
The installation was simple. I did most of the project on my own and only got help from my husband when it was time to mount the screens on the larger windows.
So, my main reason for getting these screens was to reduce the amount of heat in our RV and still be able to keep our view. These screens accomplished both!
I immediately noticed a difference in temperature when parked in front of our house in full sun while loading the trailer for a trip.
As for the view, there is some distortion on the sections of the windows that already have a screen which I knew would be the case and I am fine with. It is a small price to pay for the comfort it provides and we have plenty of windows that do not have the distortion which makes me a happy camper!
These are easy to put on and take off. I use a 3 step ladder and can put them on and take them off in about 10 minutes (all the windows).
They do tend to collect dust, but I quickly take care of that by using my swiffer mop with a microfiber cloth attached and wipe the dust away. Easy peasy!
We leave them on while in storage and only remove them during travel. We roll them up and store them in a box that protects them from getting bent.
I highly recommend these sunscreens to anyone looking for a solution to reduce the heat on your RV windows and reduce the heat inside your RV, keep your view and at an affordable price!
I have attached pictures, so you can see what the anchors look like when the screens are off as well as pictures with the screens on.

EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the positive review and photos Tina. Very nice installation! We're happy that you're happy with EZ Snap Shades... Happy Travels!
I installed a screen room on our motorhome. To block the bottom of camper to the ground to keep bugs out and our cat in the screen room we bought the material from EZ Snap.
To install was easy, cut the skirt material to size and add the snaps. The snaps have sticky backs that is sent in the package along with material.
We are excited to try it out this following week.
Thank you, Don and Jeanie
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for reporting back... and sending the video over.
I have a class A RV with a large front windshield and large driver and passenger side slide windows plus 7 cabin windows.
The front glass cover I thought would be a challenge, given the size (roughly 5'X9'). I installed the sticky back tabs per the instructions and then installed the screen from the roof, starting at the middle and working my way to each side keeping the screen level. I then punched all the tabs through the screen and trimmed the corners and bottom section to fit for a nice, clean visual.
I can say the temperature difference in the driver cab section was noticeable instantly as I could stick my arm in under the bed and it was like a different room, HOT.
Excellent product, easy to install and makes a difference controlling the heat.
Todd Lincoln
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the positive review and photos Todd. Great to know that EZ Snap Shades are keeping your Class A cooler.
I viewed the on line installation instructions which made the job very easy.
I installed the screen on my largest window in the front of my travel trailer and noticed the heat decrease immediately... I will be installing ez snap screens on more windows soon.
Cynthia B.
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the recommendation Cynthia.
This was a brilliant find. Thanks for your follow up and help. It is perfect.
I also made a Velcro “door” for the storage area and Velcro”d together under steps.
You can see in the pictures that I have a tent that attaches to the teardrop, but what the had to go against the trailer lower section did not keep the wind out or secure for dogs.
This is going to be fabulous. The floor mat and rug will go on top of the extra material.
Thanks again. Posting on the [email protected] trailer forum for others to see.
Priscilla Knoble
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the positive review and photos Priscilla! We are happy to hear that EZ Snap is working for your dog fencing.
The EZ snap material is pretty good heavy duty. The material itself held up to 50 and 60 mph winds in Wyoming.
The issue is the plastic pins and domed caps. At 15 to 20 mph winds the domed caps would pop off and I am out there re securing the skirting material to the pins and trying to find the domed caps.
I purchased the clamps to secure the bottom of the skirting to pvc pipe, anchored it with stakes, land scoping blocks and sand bags. But the buttons would pop off and pull the skirting loose.
I have finally built frames and wrapped the frames with the EZ Snap material, I will insulate the back sides of the frame at a later date.
So far it has held up well.
The plastic pins and caps are useless. Because of the wrapping process I will need more material. Overall because of the plastic pins and caps and the extra money spent on clamps and PVC pipe that did not work I will score this system a 5 out of 10.
Michelle K.
June 1, 2020
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the feedback Michelle. For others reading this, it is important to make sure that the Skirting is secured against wind... no gaps where wind can get under the Skirting at all. If the wind does get under the Skirting, there's no way out from under the RV and the wind will puff the skirting out like a sail on a sailboat. This puffing out pulls the Skirting away from the side of the RV where the Snaps are and causes the Caps to come off. Once a few Caps are off, the wind gets ahold of the loose Skirting, the flapping gets worse, and more damage may occur.
Easy Install. Works great. Really shades the inside of the boat.
Here are a few pics. I did mine on the inside of the windows for putting off and on. The screens made it so much cooler in the boat, even after sitting in the sun all day.
Thanks
J. Bragg
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the great review and photos Jeremy. For others reading this, it is important to know that installing shades on the outside always provides more heat reduction than installing on the inside.
Hello; It has been a while since I sent you a review, but the weather has been kind of weird lately with some rain, thunder and lightning and hail have kind of held me up from installing more covers. The weather has improved and I have my second window prepped and just need to cut the next cover to size and install.
The first window, as I said before had birds flying and crashing into it, since placing cover on that window not a single bird has crashed into that window.
The third window I want to do is one I am still trying to decide what I am going to do. It is a window at the dining table and two thirds of it (upper 2/3) will be able to do a cover but the bottom 1' of it is a window that cranks out for a screen window. It may be that I do not cover the bottom part of the window.
Friday 5/27 I hope to put cover on window #2 before this weekend as it is supposed to rain again, but we will take it as we have not had much rain around here since the first of the year. When I get cover on the second window I will take pictures and send them to you. Thanks for your patience.
Completed install last weekend which was pretty simple. Packaging of snaps could be improved upon by putting in individual ziplock type bags for resealing, etc.
Overall very pleased with quality and ease of use. Looks attractive, like it belongs/came that way.
Colette L.
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the positive review and packaging feedback Colette.
The online video showing how to install it was very helpful. It was easy to install and I constantly receive high compliments from friends and fellow campers.
The skirting compliments our camper and aides in insulating the underside of our camper.
The pins were easy to install and are very sturdy. We used all the pins and did not have any extras. I would recommend ordering at least 30 more than calculated just to make sure you have enough.
We had plenty of skirting left over because I added about 15 extra feet just to ensure I had plenty.
We have had the skirting installed for two months but has already survived 3 severe storms with very strong winds and rain and it looks exactly like it did when we finished installing it.
We are very pleased and satisfied with this skirting.

Hi Everyone…@ EZ Snap ….And those who read this review!
We installed the product on our Sailboat port hatches; windows; and overhead hatches. We are so pleased & it was easy….from reviewing, ordering, to install!
Wow, what a product. We were SO skeptical to begin with. No need to be so!
- After research & comparisons…it simply made sense $ wise to try!
- We are amazingly pleased. Great materials, helpful layouts! Meaning:how much to buy & how many pieces you can get from a chosen size; their measuring directions; & many pre-sized rolls/size’s…. Folks, they’ve got this all dialed in for ya! For whatever project you are doing.
- helpful videos
- we could have spent more $’s …2-3 x’s more easily. And they all required other tools….ie. sewing machines.
We have NO COMPLAINTS!
EZ Snap = Easy = So much for your $’s = Fun to Install = Satisfaction!
We are Satisfied customers. I will follow up on this review in 6 Months; one year; and 2 years.
I ordered a 3’x6’ kit today. I had previously ordered enough material in a kit to cover every window in my Class C RV.
It is so easy to mark, with the white pencil included, and to cut.
Installation was a breeze for this 72 year old woman.
I could not believe the difference. The mesh has not curled up on the ends after 3 years of use.
I recently bought an older mobile home with a south facing kitchen in Redding California. Last summer the temps reached over 110 making it almost impossible to cook in the kitchen even with the air conditioner on. Thus, I ordered the 3 x 6 kit for the kitchen window. I am excited to receive and install. I will give an update on the performance later this summer. I know it will make a huge difference.
Thank you EZ Snap!!
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the positive review and photos! Nice to know that EZ Snap Shades are keeping you cooler in your RV and your mobile home.
One day I was looking at other RVs for sale when I noticed some RVs with window coverings, and that made me start looking as to who made them and after numerous searches I finally found EZ Snap.
After finding their online site and looking at what the product offered this was what I wanted.
A couple of problems I was having is heat in summer kind of transmitting thru the windows and into the 5th wheel, and second was birds trying to fly thru the back of the RVs window and into the 5th wheel.
I bought a kit from EZ Snap (12') and received it in a short amount of time. I liked that there was choices as to kind of snaps and ways of mounting them and the color of them and the covers.
Nice to do the procedure without drilling holes in the RV. The directions on how to install the covers are easy to follow and do.
Since installing the cover on the back window of the RV, have not had one bird crash into the window and have already noticed a difference of not as much heat trying to get thru windows.
I would say also that these will be good on homes as you can still see thru these covers, but would have to use the base snaps that screw in instead of the glue ones I used.
Easy to install and will recommend to anyone looking for window covers!
Steve Larroche, happy customer
EZ Snap® Team - Great to hear that EZ Snap is saving birds... and saving on your air conditioning! Thanks for the kind words and photos Steve.
EZSnap Window Shades work absolutely perfectly for a Dog Fence!
EZ Snap Product:RV Window Shades
I have been looking for a simple solution to creating the travel trailer side of a fence enclosure for my dogs. Though RV skirting appeared the logical way to go, it seemed bulky and heavy to be constantly putting up, taking down and transporting.
The folks at EZSnap suggested I look at their window shade material. What a brilliant idea!
The shade material is light weight enough to be easy to transport, and a Snap (pun intended) to put up and take down. It is solid enough to deter the pups from trying to run through it, but still allows the breeze to pass through.
I secure the bottom with short lengths of pvc and EZSnaps pipe clamps. I did find that filling the pvc pipe with sand and capping the ends worked a lot better to keep the bottom from blowing about on a blustery day.
The initial product installation was simple and subsequent setups and takedowns quick and easy. The screen rolls up nicely, even with the snaps installed, and takes up little space and almost no weight in the trailer.
EZSnap Window Shades work absolutely perfectly for this unintended use of the product!
Deb Geller
EZ Snap® Team - Glad that EZ Snap Shades are keeping the pups where they need to be! Thanks for the positive review Deb!
We purchased these since we are now full-time living in our travel trailer in Arizona.
The directions were easy to follow and it was easy to install them.
Our hope would be that it would cut out the Arizona heat significantly, so that we could enjoy our views, since before adding the window shades we had to keep foil/insulation in our windows to try and keep the heat out.
The honest truth that is after adding the shades we still kept the foil insulation in the windows to double protect the trailer.
However, we love the look on the exterior of our trailer and the fact that at night time we can see out the windows when we want to.
My only concern is I can’t find the removal tool so when we move our trailer, it’s going to be a challenge to remove the shades prior to towing our trailer to another location.🤷🏼♂️
Thanks,
Greg Chmara
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the positive review and photos... looks great! If you can't find the removal tool, a small straight blade screwdriver works just as well.
I do not have a lot of space and it was difficult to do I don’t see why you can not just cut them to size at your shop there or maybe you just order it from China or something I don’t know but I did it myself but I messed it up on a couple cuts and damaged my knees in the process but I need to order more snaps and some more mesh to re do the one I messed up.
Edward M.
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for your feedback Edward. Unfortunately, there is no way to effectively cut custom screens before shipping. There are too many variables when the customer provides measurements. In addition, shipping these oversized, odd-shaped boxes is very expensive; consequently, returns due to errors would make the whole business unsustainable within a very short period of time. We take pride in offering North American made Shade Mesh and Fasteners and do not import these products from China.
The computer generated pattern for my windows was spot on.
I installed the kit over two days. First day was marking where the snap bases were going to be installed and installing the snap bases. Cut and installed the shade cloth the next day.
Everything went just as your installation video showed.
I am actually very impressed with your product. Ease of installation, good looks.
The weather is getting warm here in Arizona and I am very happy with how much cooler my 5th wheel is. I bet it makes huge difference this summer!
Ed Kennedy
EZ Snap® Team - Happy to hear that EZ Snap is keeping your rig cooler in Arizona! Thanks for the positive review and photos. Nice installation job Ed...
I purchased the EZ Snap RV Skirting with the screw-in installation because it was already too cold for the adhesive version. Installation took some time but was relatively easy with a second person helping.
I am living in my RV year-round in northern Minnesota. Temperatures have dropped under -20 degrees Fahrenheit a few times already this winter. With the skirting and a milk house style electric heater underneath, nothing has frozen yet.
The skirting also looks nice.
I have no complaints so far. It seems to be a quality product.

EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for your positive review and photos Leanna.
We live in a mountain home that has two large awkward windows.
We had too much sun coming in and also too many bird strikes to count. It was heartbreaking for us to see so many beautiful birds fly right into these windows.
I researched on line and found ez snap screens and we are thrilled with the results! The house is cooler, we have no more sun in our eyes while sitting on the couch and the birds fly over the house not into the windows.
The hardest part was for my 71 year old husband to get up the ladder, the rest really was ez!
Thank you ez snap for a great and reasonable solution. Our birds thank you too!
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the update Gale! We are happy to hear that EZ Snap is keeping you cooler and saving birds at the same time.
I'm very happy with the EZ Snap 3M adhesive fasteners.
I used them to install a sunscreen over my patio over 10 years ago. They made installation easy and the sunscreen installation lasted until a recent wind storm pulled some of the fasteners loose.
I bought additional fasteners to re-secure the sunscreen and they made for a very easy repair.
I'm very happy with the fasteners and the customer service.
Chris
EZ Snap® Team - We are glad to hear you're happy with EZ Snap. Thanks for letting us know Chris!
Our apologies for the delay, but the Idaho winter made getting out a bit challenging. 🙂 Hopefully the video makes it through - I understand why you like videos, they definitely make a difference in understanding how the product works!
The EZ Snap RV skirting was the perfect solution to help insulate my Mom's RV, efficiently and easily.
It looks so nice and is very sturdy.
She asked one of her friends to help install it, and it was not difficult. The instructions were thorough and easy to follow; and it was especially nice to have the exact instructions for the framing.
The option to add the hitch section that also results in extra storage space is really helpful and will be nice year-round.
My Mom’s original plan was to buy material and try to sew something like this by herself; during the winter, in an RV, after full workdays, would have been difficult, so it was nice to find EZSnap as a cost-effective option.
We also liked how they called to confirm just how much Velcro we needed; instead of making us pay for all that we put in the order, they called and went through the measurements, resulting in a decrease in cost. How many companies actually decrease their profit? THAT is a company with whom you WANT to do business!
Kathryn Herty
EZ Snap® Team - Glad the EZ Snap Skirting worked out for your project. Thanks for the great feedback!
I purchased EZ Snap to cover two 4’ x 4’ skylights.
I simply could not be happier with the kit. EZ Snap includes everything you need; screening , snaps, primer stick. But the best part of the kit was the special cutting tool! The tool made it “a snap” to make straight, precise cuts.
Because the screening material is so tough, scissors just won’t do the job. The cutting tool is the key.
Thank you, EZ Snap, for thinking of everything!
Pat
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the compliments Pat. We appreciate the positive review.
I always travel for work and I purchased a customizable skirt from EZ Snap for my travel trailer about five months ago. I have a Coachmen Apex 265RBSS and if you’ve ever owned one, you know the floor is not insulated very well. I knew that I was going to be going to the Midwest during winter time and was extremely worried about freezing water supply and drain lines, so I took a leap of faith and bought a skirt.
The installation was as easy as advertised. Putting the skirt on after arrival at the destination probably takes me about 10 minutes and then another 15 minutes to build the frame and secure the skirt, but it is so worth it.
I was in Iowa in December 2021 for a three weeks and the overnight wind chills were -20 degrees F some nights, but I never had any freezing issues.
I was in the Kansas City area in February of this year for only two weeks and I figured I would not need the skirt. This was a horrible decision. I had a supply line break and my black water tank jam up due to freezing. The temperature was never below 15 degrees at any point, but I still had freezing. I have made a promise to myself that it doesn’t matter how long I will be set up, the skirt will be used. On top of preventing frozen pipes, it seemed like my furnace didn’t run as often even though it was much colder in Iowa.
The gray skirt goes very well with my trailer and I highly recommend this product to anyone that is “on the fence” of purchasing or not.
I am curious to see what happens during the summer months as I have read and heard it will also keep the trailer cooler. I don’t have any doubts since everything has come true as advertised so far.
The only thing I would change on the skirt would be a heavy duty zipper for the seams. I do not fault EZ Snap for this as the consumer would also need a heavy duty sewing machine to secure it well enough for continued use. I rate it a 10/10 even with the above suggestion.
Jared Write
EZ Snap® Team - Happy to hear EZ Snap kept you warm in Iowa Jared. Thank you for sending the positive review with photos. Looks like a great installation... nice work.
We have loved our EZ Snap skirt and have seen tremendous benefits with reduction of heating costs.
We are living in our RV full time, and were able to easily install the skirt and have had virtually no issues.
The only issue we had were a few of the connectors did not stick well because we put it on late in the season and it was cold last year.
I would highly recommend screwing them down if you are able to, but the EZ Snap team has been great to work with, and I expect this thing to last forever.
-- J. Burke
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for your feedback. For others reading this, ideal installation temperatures should be at least +15 C / 60 F during installation and for 72 hours continuously. It is recommended to let the adhesive studs set a minimum of 24 hours before you start to install the EZ Snap RV Skirting Material.
We purchased the EZ Snap kit for our Grand Design Momentum. In the past we have skirted our RV with foam board insulation, and while it worked well, it was ugly. Not the case with our EZ Snap skirting. It’s very nice looking!
Customer service was very friendly and responded quickly. We purchased it late in the year and had to use the screw in mounts and we’re concerned because of the extended wait time and paid the extra for expedited shipping. Well worth it if you’re in a hurry. It only took about a week for it order to arrive.
The install went fairly well. Our Momentum is 41’ long so it took me a few days to put it up. I took the extra precaution of adding silicone to the screws just to be safe. No leaks through a very cold and wet winter!
The skirting worked very well and we only had to go back and Snap it again during a nasty windstorm once. The winds were in excess of 60 mph. We never had any issues with it prior to that. It held up great even up to 45 mph wind.
Accessing my dumps was easy. I just lifted the edge and tucked it back in afterwards. No issues with freezing pipes, we used a heated hose and our connections were under the rig. We did put a small space heater on low underneath just in case and had no issues.
I would highly recommend the EZ Snap skirting if you’re going to be wintering in your rig.

EZ Snap® Team - Happy to hear that EZ Snap is working well for you. Thanks for the positive review and photos.
I have just finished my first winter in an RV, the winter of 2021-2022, which many more seasoned full timers have told me was the toughest one they have seen in years in the Toronto area.
I will say that I am very glad that I purchased the EZ Snap skirting.
I have a 5th wheel RV and it took just two half-days to install the skirting. I spent the first half-day attaching the stick-on attachment points, then the second half day placing the skirt.
I laid 3/4 inch PVC pipe all around the base of the trailer and used the clips to attach the skirt to the pipe in that same second half-day.
Overall the setup worked really well. I know this by comparing my propane costs against some of my neighbors who did not skirt.
The skirt stayed attached during some substantial 48-hour windstorms. The material did not tear and the attachments held fast. I was very impressed.
The one piece of advice I would give to people planning to winter in areas of high wind, would be to secure the PVC pipes into the ground with camping tent pegs for although my skirt did not fail me, wind is persistent and will find its way under the pipe frame. So that is no reflection on the EZ Snap skirting, which did a great job.
Combined with my heated water hoses, I was able to enjoy the winter.
Steve Prentice, Toronto, Canada
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the winter update and photos Steve. Great to hear that EZ Snap kept you warm in Toronto!
I just spent my first winter in my new Heartland Mallard 21.5 ft trailer. A record breaking winter in Idaho with the most days at zero degrees or below!
I couldn’t have been toastier! My 80 foot EZ SNAP black skirting insulated so well that all I needed for heat was a 1500 watt radiating oil heater!
I didn’t even have to cover the windows! I was warm, cozy and got to enjoy the sun all winter long.
Thank you, Troy. What little customer service I needed was timely and most helpful. I realized I didn’t even need to hire help to install the EZ Snap skirting.
Comfy in Sun Valley ❤️ Lisa L.
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for positive review and photos Lisa!
I am not much for sending in reviews. If I like a product great, if I don't my bad judgement. But I really do believe in this product.
So my wife and I have just spent our second winter in our 5ver. We live in NW Missouri where we can get cold and snowy. Last winter we talked about blocking around our rig, but we never got around to it. We did have our water holding tank freeze. Luckily nothing worse happened. Just two weeks of jug water.
So we decided this year we would invest in ez snap skirting. Man who knew that it was that easy to install. We got the 3M stick on snaps. Didn't think they would hold up in the cold temps and high winds. We installed them on a 60 degree day. Waited about two weeks to give them a fighting chance. Then we installed the skirting and caps. That was in December.
Here we are in March and this is what I know about EZ Snaps. We had freezing temps below zero a few nights and nothing froze. We also had wind gusts several times from 20 mph to 40 mph. I am happy to say EZ Snap skirting has held up better than I would have believed. We have had a couple of caps pop off but the skirting remains intact. Was able to recover caps and reinstalled them.
Looks great and works even better.
Thanks, Dwight Fowler
EZ Snap® Team - Great to hear Dwight. Thanks for the positive feedback.
We installed the EZ Snap on our camper windows last week. We are in Florida and camp fulltime but after a lot of research we felt this product would give us the UV protection we were after while still allowing us to still see outside.
It's still not summer weather yet but we have had a couple of sunny and warm days and we can feel the difference.
Our windows do have nice tint to them but we feel we needed more.
The installation and instructions were great as well as the installation video on u tube. We used the 3m holders and it was fairly easy to use once we layed out how we wanted it.
Looking forward to a more comfortable trailer and an a/c unit that doesn't have to work so hard.
Thanks Ted And Ellen
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the positive review Ted & Ellen.
I ordered the RV skirting kit in black. After placing the order online, my wife called to see how long it would be before the products shipped. She was told the black was on backorder and not sure when they would get it.
EZ Snap told her they had gray and white both in stock and would ship out in a few days if we went that route. They changed the order for gray without any hassle and answered every question we had.
In the Kit the instructions were very clear and it was easy to put on.
The material was heavier than I expected it to be.
Shipping was fast which I appreciate since we were in a big rush to get a skirt put on after our travel trailer water lines had already frozen.
Thanks,
Aaron Rackley
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the kind words Aaron. Happy to help...
I have had ez snap skirting for a couple of months. The skirting really helped in some of the coldest weather that I have been in, -15 wind chill and single digit temperature. I was able to keep from freezing up and stayed warm. Really great wind barrier.
Some buttons come off and then the flapping begins. The cons are trying to figure the best way to keep it in place in high winds.The fifth wheel cover as well as around the slides catch the most. I know it's mostly My installation.
To tell you the truth it is a great product.
I definitely wouldn't go camping without my skirting. It's actually been a life saver for my wife and 5 dog's traveling and working all over the United States of America.
I do want to add that there was a long wait for my order to be filled and me staying in Wisconsin at the time I was in dire need and I paid the extra fee to get my order asap and I was very happy to do so especially when they were able to build and ship within a week. I was very thankful for the excellent customer service.
Thank you,
Chris Abbott
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks Chris. Please be sure to get that Skirting secured against the wind. Great to hear that EZ Snap is keeping your gang warmer!
We have a 32 foot class c and instead of using the snap system attached to the rv I built a pvc pipe frame that is 40 inches tall to wrap the skirt material around top and bottom. I use the supplied clamps to secure the bottom and use white pool noodles from the dollar store which I slit long ways with a knife to secure the material around the top of the frame. The thickness of the pool noodle fills the gap against the rv keeping the wind and debris out. I used 2 pieces of skirt material to wrap the hood of the rv and clamp to the top of the frame.
Works great! Thanks!!!!

EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for your positive review and photos. It's great to hear that EZ Snap RV Skirting is keeping you warmer in Scottsville VA!
This review is mostly for owners of Ford Transit camper vans and other similar vans with dark tinted windows on the sides of the van (e.g. Coachmen Beyond). The factory tinted windows have a convex curve from top to bottom. These dark tinted windows offer great privacy but they get extremely hot when the sun shines on them and contribute to heating of the interior even with Reflectix panels on the interior (by the way - paint the window side of the interior Reflectix white to reduce the window temperature). I had previously tried attaching space blanket material to the outside using magnets and although this approach reduced interior temperatures it was not optimal for two reasons. The view is totally blocked and moderate winds would rip the material off the van.
The EZ snap solution appeared to provide a promising solution for the two problems mentioned above and so I gave it a try. I ordered the black mesh material with the black stick-on fasteners. I was a little concerned about how the fasteners would look when the shade was not installed, but they blend in pretty well with the dark tinted windows when installed near the edge of the window. The mesh shade material is robust and has two properties that help resolve the two problems encountered in my previous efforts. They allow air to pass through reducing drag and allow one to see out the windows when installed (although not as clear as if nothing was on the window). Did they reduce the heating of the dark tinted windows. As installed per instructions – they only reduced window temperature 5 – 7 degrees F. I tried to figure out why I was not getting a larger temperature reduction given the mesh clearly reduced the amount of light coming into the van. That is when I realized that most of the mesh screen was resting directly on the glass and conducting heat to the glass because of the curvature of the glass.
I tried two different solutions and here are my results and recommendations. I first tried using spacers (small clear bumpers between the glass and the mesh screen. The spacers helped considerably and gave a 12 to 20 degree reduction in glass temperature. The problem I ran into was that the spacers were not particularly attractive when placed on areas of the glass where you would have a view. The second solution involved using a white mesh instead of black mesh. I originally ordered the black mesh screen because I thought it would be easier to see through (less glare) and because it would blend in with the vans window color (which it did). Since I already had the black mesh cut and installed, I decided to try spray painting it white with white Krylon fusion paint. This turned out to greatly reduce the glass temperature even without using any spacers. The glass temperature dropped 25 -27 degrees F.
My recommendation for those who own similar vehicles is to order the white mesh screen instead of the black, but to get black stick on fasteners so that when the screen is not on the vehicle, the fasteners blend in with the windows. Both the fasteners and mesh screening appear to be very effective and durable.

EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the feedback Barry. We have heard the same from boat shade customers as well.
After our first winter living in our camper using makeshift skirting, my partner began looking for a quick to install and reusable product to insulate our camper in the cold weather months. This search brought us to EZ Snap skirting, though it is an investment, this product has saved us time, kept our rig warm, and prevented frozen pipes in below zero weather.
We love how quickly we could install the skirting, it took between 5-6 hours to screw in all of the snaps and tack up the fabric. The installation took place in 30 degree weather, but has held up through multiple snowstorms and over two feet of snow.
We are looking forward to using this product in the future as our next installation should be much quicker as we will not have to set up the snaps.
Thanks EZ Snap for keeping us warm this winter!

EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the great review, photos, and video walkaround. Happy to hear EZ Snap RV Skirting is keeping your Heartland Trail Runner warm this winter!
I live in Northern British Columbia Canada where the weather gets cold and windy more often than not. I researched a few different options for RV skirting for my Class A Motorhome. I decided to try EZ Snap because of the value of price and also the ease of installation.
I was hoping for the best and had a lot of skeptics because the material isn't insulated and that's unheard of up here. However, I just kept telling myself it would be alright and I would deal with any issues as they arose. I am extremely pleased to say that I haven't had any freeze ups on the motorhome end of things. The skirting has held up wonderfully and no issues so far. I opted to not enclose the slide although, next season I will probably add a bit to do that for added protection.
It was easy to install and I have really been appreciative of how easy it is to get access when I had to. I had a lot of levelling issues but the skirting was easy to pull up around and re-set as needed. I wouldn't have been able to do that with hard panels. Overall, I think the product is as good as they say. A few minor improvements could be made here and there but I would recommend this product for sure!
Thanks,
Jasmine PC Fort St. John, British Columbia, Canada
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the great review and photos Jasmine! It's nice to know that EZ Snap Skirting is keeping your RV warmer in Fort St. John BC.
Came out clean, and actually looks better than other brands installed by professionals.
I don't recall what the time said it takes to install. I set aside a whole day and took my time.
I live in Nebraska and my wife and I stayed in our RV from October thru January. Outside temps were around 2 degrees.
It stayed in between 10 to 15 degrees warmer under the rv inside the skirt without a heater or heat light. Our floors inside of the rv stayed considerably warmer.
Install: easy Function: great Cost: great bang for the buck Cosmetic appeal: fantastic

EZ Snap® Team - Great to hear that EZ Snap is keeping you Reflection warmer in Nebraska! Thanks for the great review and photos Roger.
We have a nice three season room we like to use year round if possible. Had roll up blinds installed on main windows, so we could open them.
There were 2 small, irregular shaped windows up top though that needed to be covered to block the hot summer sun.
Contacted the company that installed the blinds, and they quoted me $1200.00 each, for the 2 windows.
Researched and found EZ Snap, and was able to cover the windows in a very nice manner to block the sun. All for MUCH less than the blinds I was quoted for.
Very easy to install, look great, and have received several nice comments from family on how they look.
They do a great job of filtering the light and heat.
Very pleased.

EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the positive review and video Lisa. We are happy to hear that EZ Snap is keeping you cooler and looking good in PA!
We knew the weather would be bad so we purchased it in early September.
It was so easy to roll out and cut to what we needed. The instructions were easy and simple. The parts were very easy to install as well.
We've now had it for about a year and we are into our second winter with it on. The material has held up great and has kept the undercarriage of our trailer warm during really cold weather.
We put a little floor heater under with the lining on and it kept our trailer from freezing when it got down to -30 windchill. When other people were dealing with freezing and burst pipes we were staying warm in our 5th wheel with no problems. It also didn't get weighed down and rip off from 3 feet of snow built up next to it for two months.
Absolutely amazing. We won't ever use another brand!

EZ Snap Skirting has performed even better than expected
EZ Snap Product:RV Skirting
I am a “little old cat lady” . . . 73 years old living with my 2 cats in a 33 foot Coleman Lantern.
This is my first Blue Ridge Mountain winter with my EZ Snap Skirt. So far we have had 12 inches of snow followed by 2 inches of sleet then 1 week later 6 inches of snow with high winds and temperatures as low as 5 degrees. . .I am literally on an iceberg with a path to my car.
However, my EZ Snap Skirting has performed even better than expected. It takes the winds with no problem.
I chose the black skirting and since I get full afternoon sun on the back side of my RV where the hoses are, the black absorbs the heat which in turn keeps all my hoses (which are wrapped only with insulation, no heat tapes) from freezing! I do keep my faucets dripping when it gets below 18 degrees and that flow through the hoses also helps. . .but, no freeze ups!
I feel 100% confident that this EZ Snap skirting can face anything that the rest of the winter weather in Floyd Virginia can dish out! (And, I installed it all myself back in October with the help of another “little old lady”!) ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Dorothy Harrell, Floyd Virginia
EZ Snap® Team - Nice work Dorothy! It's great to hear that EZ Snap Skirting is keeping you and your cats warmer in Floyd.
My family and I are living in a 31 foot travel trailer for the winter in Montana and it was starting to get pretty cold.
I found EZ snap online and thought it looked like a nice product at an affordable price. I called to order and they were extremely helpful and even gave me a rush shipping option so that I could install it quickly before it got too cold.
It only took me a few hours to put on and immediately my whole family could tell the difference. The inside was a lot warmer and more comfortable. Since then, it has snowed 3 feet and we are doing just fine.
I would highly recommend this product, in addition to excellent customer service.
Thanks,
John K.
EZ Snap® Team - Thank you for the great review John. We are happy to hear that EZ Snap Skirting is keeping your family warmer in Montana!
We purchased EZ Snap for our skylights to decrease the direct and harmful sunlight that shines on our new Hardwood Flooring! It does exactly that, it while still allowing plenty of daylight into our Family Room!
EZ Snap also has taken away the reflection of the sunlight on our Vinyl Siding. The heat from the reflection actually melted our Vinyl Siding before we installed the EZ snap Screens. Now there is no reflection with the screening installed.
EZ Snap installs so easy and the price is excellent. I highly recommend their line of products! I will be ordering additional EZ Snap Screening for our Glass Sliders in the Family Room to minimize the damaging rays of the sun on our Hardwood Floors and to reduce the heat that builds up in the room during the summer.
We love the openness of not using Blinds or curtains and EZ Snap will allow us to enjoy all of the natural light while protecting the hardwood floors and keeping the room cool during the summer heat.
The Customer Service staff are very courteous, knowledgeable and professional. Thank You!

EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the great review John! We are happy to hear that EZ Snap has stopped your melted vinyl siding problem in Brookfield CT.
My wife and myself purchased ez snap for our 35 ft. Fifth wheel. Installed it ourselves with ease.
We live in the Prairie in Idaho and get up to 65 mile an hour wind gusts. I have been completely impressed with how ez snap has held up under harsh conditions. Only thing I have done is put weight to hold down the pvc bottom rail.
Totally worth the purchase.

EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for your positive review Rusty...
First and foremost I love my new EZ Snap skirting. The appeal of my RV has been enhanced greatly.
The installation was a little tricky due to obstacles that had to be dealt with such as bumper, tongue, slideouts, tanks, and porch. It was a good days work, but so rewarding. The RV is also protected from all sort of weather and critters.
Thank you EZ Snap.
Sincerely Becky
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for your review Becky... great to hear that you love your skirting.
While it was time consuming (41 ft 5th wheel) maybe 6 hours for me and my wife, the instructions and videos prepared me for a successful install.
EZ Snap expedited my shipment so I could install prior to winter.
The inclusion of screws for the cold weather install was appreciated.
The folks I spoke with at EZ Snap were courteous and helpful. I would highly recommend this product for those who have prior use of hand tools and measuring devices.
Thanks for a great product,
Larry D.
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for positive review and recommendation Larry.
Thank you for an opportunity to comment on the EZ snap experience. I am western Canada, and will wait for some weather to warm up before I try to install the shade screens on my boat.
What impressed me the most, was that I ordered one day for a package to screen the front and side windows on my cabin cruiser. I am in the Vancouver, BC, CA area and my purchase was delivered the next day - very impressive shipping response.
Will know more once our weather warms up a bit more. We have light snow showers today, but spring is on its way to us.
The product installation instructions warn to install the pin pads once temps are warmer so the adhesive will stick best. So we wait. -- Dr. Rod Matheson
Our EZ Snap skirting has made it so we can get through a Maine winter in our camper!
Just had the first real storm of the season. Skirting held tough. Had to re snap some of the black pins back on. Same goes for the round snaps that go on top of the pins.
All in all we are very impressed.
I would recommend ordering a size up from your actual camper size. Putting the skirting on in one continuous piece worked fast for us.
We opted to purchase the pvc and skirting clips. This is necessary if you are going to survive a real northern winter.
Thank you once again!

EZ Snap® Team - Glad to hear EZ Snap is keeping your RV warm in Maine Erik! Thanks for the update.
don’t know what I would have done without it this winter
EZ Snap Product:RV Skirting
I would recommend EZ Snap RV Skirting to anyone! The whole experience from start to finish was handled with ease.
When I ordered the product on the website it was user friendly, it explains and outlines exactly how to measure your rig so you get the correct amount of product.
I also ordered the 5th wheel Skirt with zipper door - if you have a 5th wheel this is a great plus because it gives you more storage space! Just a heads up for those thrifty peeps out there... the velcro offered from EZ Snap is stronger than what you can get in the store.
I had an issue with the lead-time, so I emailed customer service. They responded quickly and took care of this by offering an expedited service (for a small upcharge).
The packages the product comes in were organized and packed efficiently.
I ordered it late in the year but needed it before I worked in MI for the winter. I was able to install the snaps, cut and install the fabric before the first snow flew (which I was really happy about).
After having to take it on and off 3 times, I can honestly say I don’t know what I would have done without it this winter (we just got over 1 foot of snow!) I’m so grateful to have this product, it has definitely saved me a lot of headaches, $ and cold weather repairs (unlike my poor neighbors).
It's definitely a MUST for the wintery months! It’s a large investment upfront, but it is just that, an investment.

I am so glad we invested in the EZ snap skirting for our RV.
It arrived earlier than we expected and was easy to put on, my only regret is that we did not get the tubing for the bottom of our skirting. Right now we are experiencing 30-50 mph winds with freezing weather for the rest of the week.
Thank you EZ Snap for a great product!

EZ Snap Product:RV Window Shades
Wonderful company, you'll have your order in days they get it out in couple days and it will be perfect and all you will need if you have more than 2 windows the same size make a cardboard template alot easier to do.
If you're not traveling leave it up. You'll notice less heat from windows with more privacy.
Best improvement you can make in your life for the money. Enjoy it.

EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the positive review James. We appreciate your feedback.
I have a 30 ft RV and ordered the EZ Snap kit to skirt my rig and it was delivered very fast, installation is very easy. Strongly recommend at least 2 people for initial installation, It can be done by yourself but it is a little difficult.
Osvaldo
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the positive review Osvaldo...
The skirting works as well as expected. The material is strong and you definitely need at least 2 people to install. The only improvement I can recommend is stronger velcro, the glue side of course.
It sounds like the review of your product needs to be positive in order to be entered into your contest. I'm going to provide you with a review anyway...
We installed the EZ Snap skirt on our 2017 Bighorn fifth wheel early in the winter season. The installation was relatively easy except for putting the snaps together. We found that we had to really put a lot of pressure on the snap caps for them to stay together in even a light breeze. Additionally, the velcro strips used to connect pieces together went on well, but was useless in any kind of breeze. Once installed along with PVC pipes to "hold" the skirt down, it looked very nice. The bad part is that your system cannot withstand any kind of wind even though we bought the parts you said to buy for high winds. Any wind above 15 mph and the skirt starts having problems. The snaps come unsnapped or just come apart. We initially "anchored" the skirt with PVC piping and pavers every so often. This didn't work, so we switched to steel pipe and more pavers. It still doesn't help since the wind just pulls the snaps off.
This skirt does not perform as advertised.

Instructions: Securing EZ Snap RV Skirting Against Wind Damage
EZ Snap® Team - Sorry to hear about the wind damage Kurt. For others reading this, wind damage will happen if there are any unsealed openings that let the wind under the RV Skirting or if the bottom edge of the RV Skirting is not secured properly. If wind gets into the space under the RV it will puff the Skirting out like a sail and pop the Fasteners off. Please follow the links above to instructions on this topic.
I purchased the EZ Snap because of the reviews but my results are not the same.
Cutting to size was easy, and putting them up was not that bad but they are not working as advertised. Our rig heats up 10-15 degrees hotter than the outside temp. It advertised that it would keep us about 15 degrees cooler than the outside temp.
We feel we were ripped off. We spent almost $800.00 on a tight income to have the product not work.
I’m really sorry I could not give a great review, and chances are you will never see this if they only post great reviews.
J Bartlett
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for your feedback. Sorry to hear that you feel ripped off. These results are not typical, as evidenced by the volume of 5 star reviews on this page. For others reading this, the inside temperature of any RV is influenced by many factors. Heat comes through the roof, walls, floor, and of course the door when it is opened. For these reasons, EZ Snap can't guarantee that the inside temperature of an RV with EZ Snap Shades will be 15 degrees cooler than without Shades. We do have over a decade of experience though, and most customers rave about how EZ Snap Shades keep their living spaces cooler. Exterior RV Shades also filter out damaging UV rays to help preserve your blinds, furniture, carpet, and artwork.
More of a warning to others. Worst purchase ever!! Very hard to install with slide outs, stairs, hitch, back bumper etc. the Velcro doesn’t stick to the vinyl so that’s worthless when it comes to needing to pull levers to empty tanks. The suggestion of using pvc pipe to weigh it down is a complete joke. PVC is so expensive so we tried one side; one Illinois west wind had the pvc all the way to the center of the camper. Hope you like crawling around on your knees…that’s how you’ll get the skirting straightened out under the RV. Trying to cut vinyl for trailer tongue or any additional items is very precarious & will leave gaps.
Kindly, Jessica Keith
EZ Snap® Team - Sorry to hear that the EZ Snap RV Skirting Kit wasn't a good fit for your project. We do our best to provide instructions, videos, and support for every customer along the way. We don't have any record of support requests related to your order. For others reading this, correct installation is crucial in windy locations. Installing a 3/4 inch PVC pipe frame and weights is the most important component to secure RV Skirting against wind. Suggested pipe frame layout in photo above and more instructions here: https://ezsnapdirect.com/help/use-a-plastic-pipe-frame-for-best-results/ Our goal is to offer proven quality products, along with pre and post-sale support, for do-it-yourselfers.
We spent 1400.00 and we let the snaps sit for 2 weeks where it was warm. When we put the material in place, it was hard to get on and than the first wind came and it pulled off all the snaps. It was a complete waste of money!!! We done have enough snaps to put on as they were blown off. I would never recommend this stuff ever to anyone

I moved my RV, which I full time in, to Pennsylvania this year for personal reasons and wasn’t ready to endure another winter. It’s been over ten years since I’ve been in any type of snow.
Well let me say this skirting from EZ snap is utterly fantastic on my motorhome. I’m not a four seasons rv and the inside is staying very cozy with this wrapped around it. I am actually impressed with how well it works.
Thank you EZ snap for such a great quality product and the ease of putting it on. I am very happy with my purchase!
Sincerely, Michelle
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for your positive review and photos Michelle!
We are really happy with our new EZ snap skirting.
The initial install took around 4 hours and now we are set up for all the winters to come! It is keeping the underbelly about 10 degrees warmer.
I love how clean it looks and we don't have to use something like bales of hay - which would attract mice.
We have taken it off once to go camping and put it back on, each time it took about 30 minutes and it stored nicely in the duffle bag.
The garage under the fifth wheel came cut and velcroed which was a pleasant surprise. Not only is the fifth wheel garage skirting helping to keep our bedroom warmer, we also have covered and enclosed storage for our bikes and skis.
I have been taking notice of other skirting options and this is the best I have seen.
-Darrell & Cherie https://www.ditchingdefault.com
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks Darrell & Cherie. We are happy that you are happy with your EZ Snap RV skirting!
Taking my time, the install took just a few days doing a section at a time.
Utilized the 5th Wheel enclosure with zippered door as an extra storage area, and it has been exceptional.
The snaps install easily and EZ Snap even provided extra screws for reinforcing the snaps. Had an issue with one of the snaps on the 5th Wheel enclosure and EZ Snap went out of their way to ensure I was a satisfied customer.
The Velcro system is easy to use and stays adhered well, making access panels with it is a breeze too.
I highly recommend the plastic clamps to clip the skirting to the 3/4” pvc piping frame underneath. Keeps the skirting from billowing in the wind and gives a very neat appearance.
Super durable, easy to clean vinyl skirting has gotten us numerous compliments, and I’ve recommended the product to at least four fellow campers.
Thanks again EZ Snap!
John P.
EZ Snap® Team - Great to hear... Thanks for the review and photos.
I was very pleased with the quality of the supplies I received for the EZ Snap RV Skirting. The 3M adhesive studs have great staying power. The vinyl is heavy duty and not proned to stretching or tearing. The clamps supplied to secure the vinyl to 3/4" PVC, we're sized just right and do the job well.
Most of all, I am pleased with how much less my LPG furnace is cycling on/off during the night.
I feel confident I will be able to use my finished product, after fabrication, for many years to come.
See my attached photo gallery - neighbors in my RV park have commented on the 'smart' look, in addition to the practicality. It's the biggest dress...irr, skirt...I've ever made!
Kelly
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the positive review and photos Kelly.
We wanted something that looked sleek, that you could use many times, and be able to take it with us wherever we went.
Being full time RVer's, we needed it to break down and travel in a small space.
We looked at DIY, as it was cheaper, but nothing really looked like we could make it work for what we wanted.
We live in Montana, close to the Canadian Border, and we get wind, freezing rain, and snow. What we would use needed to hold up.
We were happy with how it turned out. These are pictures of before, then with the skirt, and then with the 5th wheel enclosure.
M. & C. Kalispell, MT
We put the pipes together before we worked on the skirting. We felt that would be easier and could lay things out, so we made this our first step.
We were very nervous about drilling and putting the snaps on our new 5th wheel, some we drilled into the metal siding. But looked really good and really could not see them from a distance.
I had a really hard time getting the female part of the snap over the male part of the snap. So we came up with a device that worked really well.
We were very happy how it went on and how it looked after we trimmed it.
We really couldn't find any info on how to do the overhang on the 5th wheel. So we glued the male snap across the front and then screwed them in along the edge of the fifth wheel. When we got to where the skirting and the overhang met, we pretty much did them side by side and then going with the flow of the overhang we velcroed it down to the ground.
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the review with photos and video! Looks great... glad to hear that you're happy with the EZ Snap RV Skirting.
The material has held up well in 40 mph wind and kept our RV warm when’s its dipped to 30 degrees.
Extremely easy to install and attach.
The 3m screwed in mounts work great against the wind. However the caps that are meant to secure the pin to the skirt came undone after our first wind storm losing 20 pieces that are secured by tension currently. Used epoxy to secure the remaining caps to the pins.
Hoping customer service would be able to help us and send the clips since I can’t order them separately.
Philip Beckmann
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for letting us know. Sorry to hear about the wind damage. For others reading this, EZ Snap did up a custom order for the parts needed to fix the wind damage shortly after receiving Philip's request.
We are located in somewhat remote NW Montana on 20 acres of beautiful forested land. The property already had a cement RV pad with power, water, and septic. We decided to RV it year round here for a couple of years before beginning the home build project.
Skirting was obviously prominent in our list of preparations before the onset of winter. Several locals offered suggestions of techniques they used but after much researching we chose to try the EZ Snap skirting product.
The product videos made it look easy enough and it seemed like something my wife and I felt comfortable with trying. I liked the idea of using a PVC framework around the perimeter to help secure it.
Our RV is a 35ft 5th wheel with 3 slide-outs. We ordered a 100ft roll of the skirting product and the recommended number of snaps and pipe clamps. The ordering process was a breeze and we received the kit soon after.
The skirting material is definitely a tough, quality product.
We took our time on the project. EZ Snap bases mounted day 1 (71°), PVC framework on the pad following the RV perimeter day 2, and mounting the skirting material to the EZ Snaps and PVC frame day 3.
We picked our overall 3M Snap base height and went from there. A chalk line helped us get the snap mounts lined up and installed.
We debated whether to install the skirting in sections or to go with continuous runs. We went with continuous runs, two specifically. The first was from the left rear corner going right, around to the right front corner, and the next section continuing on from there around to meet up at the left rear corner. Those two corners are velcroed and serve as our access points if needed.
We left about an inch of skirting fabric above the EZ Snaps because we decided we would seal the top edge of the skirting with white duct tape as an added barrier to heat escape. Maybe unnecessary but I think it can't hurt.
Snapping the material to the EZ Snaps was simple enough. It helps a lot if you keep the material a bit taut as you proceed from snap to the next.
We've had a few ex-RVer neighbors come and see the final product and they seemed genuinely impressed.
Although winter hasn't fully set in here yet we did have several days in a row where the nights dropped to the low 20s. As a first indicative test of the skirt it went well. I've got two remote temperature sensors under the RV and the underside never dipped below 42° during those cold nights.
H. Dixon
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the positive review and photos. Nice to hear that EZ Snap is keeping you warmer in NW Montana!
I ordered the EZ Snap kit online. The website is very user friendly, and instructive on how to calculate what kit you will need.
I ordered the 130’ kit in the widest width available. Shipping was prompt, and the packaging was smaller than I thought.
The installation took my wife and I two Saturdays. The stick on snaps take a little more prep time, but they go on fast.
The fabric material is easy to work with, and pretty tough.
There is a cutting tool provided, but I found a good sharp pair of scissors was better for me. Installing the fabric onto the snap, is the hardest part of the project. The fabric is tough so you have to apply a lot of pressure on your thumbs. Mine were pretty sore by the end of the project.
It was pretty easy to get it tucked under at the bottom, and I used gravel underneath to weigh it down.
It has held up to the wind very well. 60+ mph. I have not had to adjust anything or fix any snaps. It looks good, and I am very pleased with it.
Joel & Michelle - Idaho
EZ Snap® Team - Thank you Joel & Michelle for the positive review and photos. Top-notch installation job! Nice work...
I recently installed my EZ snap Yacht screens and found the process very simple and direct.
It would be helpful to include the template provided by the EZ snap estimator in the order when the project begins as I had to load the details on my phone while cutting the screen material.
The quality of the material and fasteners is good, no failures were experienced. The spacing I used needs to be revised as recommended to 10 inches.
Overall, I was happy with the product, the timely delivery and the install.
Kent
PS the pilothouse canvas that appears wrinkled in the photos is NOT the EZ snap screen material, it is the canvas but the color match is perfect!
EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the positive review and photos. Great installation. She looks fantastic!
Our decision to go with EZ Snap was made easy thanks to the quality of the service we received, from our very first inquiry all the way through to installation. It was nice to work with a company that seemed to really understand what it is like to attach a skirt to an RV and then live in it during cold weather.
Delivery was easy, and I never felt that I was being oversold or upsold when it came to suggestions about buying an extra package of studs or pipe clamps. I was glad to have the extras, and I used a few of them in the first few days after installation, where the wind showed me the places that needed more anchoring.
The materials are all good quality, and I have confidence that they will stand the test of a Canadian winter.
Installation took two afternoons - one for attaching the 3M-studs, and the second for attaching the skirt itself. We found the installation video to be extremely helpful - and we watched it a few times, matching our progress with the sections of the video.
Prior to contacting EZ Snap, I had reached out to a few Canadian RV dealership stores, assuming they would have kits like this available. But not only did they not have them, most of the stores didn't even know what I was talking about.
So I would say that the three most valuable features of working with EZ Snap in my experience is 1.) The quality of the materials, 2.) The quality of the customer service, and 3.) Working with someone who understands winter RVing.

EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the great review and photo Steve. We appreciate your feedback.
Hey look I am here to review the EZ snap coverings that I installed on my RV coach over this summer. Being factual and to the point with no bias.
#1 yes it did indeed lower the temps on my windows 10 to 15 degrees. #2 Yes easy to install (make sure you use 2 around the corners) #3 follow the prep and use the alcohol and pen to make a clean installation. #4 save the boxes they came in to roll up and store (easy to store without wrinkles and put away).
I am quite impressed with them for the cost. I researched many alternatives and came to the conclusion that this was the best in class and price. I have even had a 40LB solar panel blow off my rig but the screens still held.
So if you’re a DIY this is the way to go. There are some vision concerns that come with them but nothing that really amounts to vision obstruction.
Bottom line I would purchase and recommend again and again.
