The Perfect Skirting For Airstreams
One of the Best Airstream Skirting Options
DIY RV Skirting Solutions.
Airstream owners can rejoice because there is finally a skirting solution that makes sense for them.
One of the most appealing things about an Airstream is the sleek, aluminum body. However, a problem that many Airstream owners encounter in cold weather is finding a way to attach RV skirting. The most common method to attach skirting is by drilling snap studs into the panels, and that is usually the last thing an Airstream owner wants to do to their trailer.
The other problem that comes with custom RV skirting is a hefty price tag and a long wait time.
Some cheap RV skirting options include plywood, bales of hay, or rigid insulation with duct tape. These methods are not usually practical as they do not allow access to the trailers’ sewage shut-off or storage under the Airstream. These cheap RV skirting options are bulky, not easy to move to your next RV site and, in the case of straw bales, can attract vermin.
And the one thing all these cheap RV skirting ideas have in common is that they all turn an Airstream from sleek to eyesore.
Thankfully, EZ Snap has found a solution that makes sense for Airstream owners. Using our patented 3M Fasteners, our EZ Snap® Studs use a VHB adhesive backing that sticks on to your trailer. No drilling required!
Our fasteners will hold our vinyl RV skirting on your Airstream trailer through sub-zero temperatures, rain, snow and wind.
We ship our RV skirting kits quickly and because of our “Do It Yourself” system, you can have the custom fit you want without the expensive custom price.
You can see from the photos how some of our customers have successfully attached our skirting kits to their Airstreams. Because Airstreams have a fairly low ground clearance, our 46 inch kits have the extra height needed to hold down your skirting using our pipe clamp system.
You can also see how attaching the skirting just below the trim around the length of the trailer gives a seamless look.
Looking at our two photos, you can see two different techniques for skirting around the wheel wells. One customer went over the top of their fender flair trim and one went below the fender flare. Both applications work, it all depends on personal preference.
That’s the beauty of EZ Snap®, it allows you to customize your skirting exactly to your preferences.
Because our proprietary Diamond Weave™ vinyl skirting is a non-fray material, you’re able to cut it to size to fit exactly how you want.
One of the main advantages with using EZ Snap® skirting is not just the low cost, but also the portability. EZ Snap® RV skirting can be easily detached, rolled up, and stored, if you’re moving from one RV site to another.
So, no more plywood, no more straw bales, and no more holes in your Airstream!
While not traveling in your RV, the use of RV covers is highly recommended to keep your RV protected from the elements. Keeping rain, damaging UV rays, dust, dirt and anything else the wind can carry, off your vehicle.
Common questions
How do you attach RV skirting to an Airstream without drilling?
You use adhesive snap studs instead of screws. EZ Snap studs use a patented 3M VHB adhesive backing that sticks directly to the aluminum body, so no drilling is required and there are no holes in the trailer. The fasteners hold the vinyl skirting through rain, snow, and wind.
Why not use plywood or hay bales for Airstream skirting?
Because those methods block access to the trailer's sewage shut-off and under-trailer storage, are bulky and hard to move to your next site, and hay bales can attract vermin. They also turn a sleek Airstream into an eyesore, which is the opposite of the point.
What size skirting kit does an Airstream need?
The 46-inch kits. Airstreams sit with fairly low ground clearance, so the extra height is what gives you enough material to hold the skirting down using the pipe clamp system. Attaching it just below the trim around the length of the trailer gives a seamless look.
Can Airstream skirting be removed and reused when you move sites?
Yes. The skirting detaches easily, rolls up, and stores when you move from one RV site to another. Because the Diamond Weave vinyl is a non-fray material, you can also cut it to size with scissors for a custom fit around wheel wells and fenders.
Does adhesive-mounted skirting hold up in cold winter weather?
Yes. The Diamond Weave vinyl is built for extreme cold, and the fasteners hold the skirting on the trailer through winter rain, snow, and wind. It is a DIY system, so you fit it at your own pace for the custom result you want without the expensive custom price.
