Fifth-wheel skirting that wraps the front cap.
The raised gooseneck and pin box are exactly where a straight skirt runs out of wall. EZ Snap seals the whole front hitch enclosure, the landing gear, and the taller front profile with patented no-drill snaps, so cold air stops before it reaches your floor.
Complete kits run $899 to $2,099, custom-built to your rig. The kit builder prices yours as you configure.
Where a straight skirt runs out of wall.
A fifth wheel does not end in a flat wall up front. The gooseneck rises over your truck bed and the front cap overhangs at an angle, leaving a tall, uneven gap that ordinary straight skirting simply cannot close. EZ Snap Diamond Weave is cut to any shape with ordinary household scissors, so the panel follows the front-cap contour and the raised nose instead of fighting them. That is the difference between a fifth wheel that looks skirted and one that is actually sealed.
The no-drill fastener and the materials behind it are the same on every rig. For that shared story, read our complete RV skirting guide.
The front hitch enclosure.
The front hitch area is the piece other skirting kits ignore, and it is the single biggest source of draft on a fifth wheel. Boxing in the space around the pin box and under the gooseneck turns an open wind tunnel into a closed, insulated pocket. This is a fifth-wheel-only capability: the Hitch Enclosure Kit ($499) adds the panels that snap together around that front enclosure and seal to the ground below it, so the landing gear and undercarriage sit inside a protected envelope, not out in the weather.
You add it when you Build Your Fifth-Wheel Kit. A zippered access door keeps the hitch reachable, and the panel trims to your nose with household scissors.
See how the whole front piece goes together, step by step, in our front hitch enclosure guide.
Landing gear and ground seal.
Landing gear, leveling jacks, hoses, and cords all have to pass through a skirt without breaking the seal. EZ Snap handles them with cut-to-fit access points and a clean ground seal that follows uneven, sloped sites. There is no drilling into your rig, and when it is time to move, the panels unsnap and store flat, ready to snap back on at the next winter site.

Fifth-wheel skirting,
answered.
How do you skirt a fifth wheel?
You skirt the two long sides like any rig, then close the two areas unique to a fifth wheel: the raised front cap and the front hitch enclosure around the pin box. Panels cut to shape with household scissors and snap into place, with no drilling into your frame or body. The front is where the real work is, so plan the perimeter first and finish at the nose.
Does fifth-wheel skirting cover the front hitch and pin box?
Yes, and that is the whole point of a fifth-wheel-specific kit. The Hitch Enclosure Kit ($499) encloses the space under the gooseneck and around the pin box so the front hitch area becomes a sealed, insulated pocket rather than an open draft. That front enclosure is what stops the wind a plain straight skirt leaves wide open.
Is the front hitch enclosure a separate kit?
It is a fifth-wheel-only add-on: the $499 Hitch Enclosure Kit, a front enclosure with a zippered access door, bought on top of the side skirting. Like the rest of the skirt, it trims to fit with household scissors. Start with Build Your Fifth-Wheel Kit to add it to your build. Our front hitch enclosure guide shows how it assembles.
Will EZ Snap fifth-wheel skirting hold up for winter?
It is built for it. Diamond Weave is made for extreme cold, and a sealed skirt, front cap included, can cut heating and propane use by up to 40% by keeping the wind off your underbelly and tanks. It is designed to winter-proof your RV and camp in extreme cold, backed by a Limited Lifetime materials warranty.
What are some good fifth-wheel skirting ideas for an uneven or sloped site?
Because the Diamond Weave is cut to any shape, you can follow ground that rises and falls instead of leaving gaps under a rigid panel. Build in access points where landing gear, jacks, and utility lines pass through, and give the front hitch enclosure its own sealed section. The panels snap apart for travel and store flat, so the same kit adapts from site to site.
Can I install it myself with no drilling?
Yes. The patented no-drill snap studs place in about 60 seconds each and reach full strength in roughly 72 hours, and household scissors are the only tool you need to cut the panels. The front cap asks for the most patience, so take the nose slowly and set your own pace. The full mechanics live in the RV skirting guide.
