Cold wind keeps sweeping under your RV, leaving the floor cold and plumbing exposed. These inflatable tubes wedge between the ground and chassis with no drilling, so you can block drafts while keeping drains and hookups accessible.
Cold wind moving under your RV can leave the floor cold and put exposed plumbing at greater risk when temperatures drop. Six inflatable tubes wedge between the ground and chassis, trapping air beneath your RV to reduce heat transfer and block wind without stakes or external weights. Once they're in place, less cold air can move beneath your floor and exposed plumbing. That insulating barrier can help in hot weather, too, by limiting hot air moving beneath your RV and helping the space underneath stay cooler.
Traditional skirting can mean drilling into your RV, adding mounting channels, or sticking hardware to the exterior. These tubes stay in place by wedging between the chassis and ground. Included straps with carabiners attach to the D-rings at the ends of adjacent tubes, helping hold the sections together to reduce shifting and improve stability in windy conditions. Use the included 800W AC air pump to inflate the tubes at setup and deflate them when you're ready to move. Then pack the tubes and setup materials into the included carry bag instead of leaving hardware attached to your RV.
Drains, hookups, steps, and other underbody obstructions rarely line up neatly with a straight skirt. Four 8' tubes and two 6' tubes can be positioned individually around those areas, so you can close more of the gaps underneath without boxing in the equipment you still need to reach. You can empty tanks or use your hookups without dismantling a large section of skirting.
Sharp ground debris and exposed chassis edges can puncture the tubes if they press directly against the material. Apply the included stick-on corner and edge protectors anywhere a sharp point could make contact before you inflate the skirt. The tubes use 2 layers of 0.6 mm PVC tarpaulin, and patch material is included for minor puncture repairs, though adhesive is not included.
Big temperature swings can change how firmly the tubes sit beneath your RV. Inflation may need to be checked and adjusted as the weather changes, especially during long winter stays. Keeping an eye on tube pressure helps maintain the placement you set during installation as temperatures change.
The main tubes can cover most of the perimeter, but tires, pull-down steps, and recessed areas can leave openings for cold air. Add AirSkirts tire wedges , an AirSkirts stair pillow , an AirSkirts buffer pillow , or AirSkirts tire covers (all sold separately) to fill those harder-to-cover areas and close more of the open space around your RV.
When temperatures really drop, blocking cold wind is only part of the equation. Place an 600-Watt Xtreme Heater inside the skirted space to circulate warm air around exposed plumbing while the AirSkirts limit cold airflow and heat transfer. Keeping that space warmer can also take some of the chill out of your RV floor; owners report warmer floors and needing their rig's heater less often. The heater automatically cycles on at 40° F and off at 55° F, maintaining a warmer pocket of air without requiring you to switch it on and off manually. For a higher-output option, check out the 800-watt Xtreme Heater .
You'll need two numbers to choose your AirSkirts kit: your RV's manufacturer-stated length and its ground clearance.

Hi everyone, Steven here with etrailer. Today we're taking a look at the AirSkirts inflatable RV skirting system. So folks, this video is just gonna be a quick general overview. We do sell these in lots of different kits. You can get 'em with multiple different lengths of tubes, depending on the size that you need based on your camper or RV. And basically what these are doing is if you're staying in your RV during colder weather, winds gonna be moving underneath your camper that can leave those floors cold, floors exposed to cold air rather, plumbing, all those kind of things.
The AirSkirt system is designed to create a barrier around the bottom of that RV or camper and help block that airflow. So as you can see, again, they're in different length tube and you can move these around. So instead of traditional skirting that maybe requires more permanent, longer installation such as drilling, snaps, rails, other kind of things, this system's pretty neat and it's unique because it's inflatable tubes that are made of two layers of PVC tarpaulin and these are gonna have corner protection on them and everything. You're gonna get kits that come with pretty much everything you need for your system. And it's also gonna include some patches in the event that you have a small puncture or something of that nature.
So what's this system do Well, you're gonna get a pump, you're gonna get some other stuff in the system as well, depending on which kit you order. Each of these tubes will have rings on them and that's where you're gonna be able to use included straps that come with the system to kind of link them all together. What I like about this is because these are individual, I can put them exactly where I need them, I can pull one out if I need to get under my camper RV for whatever reason, and these are a lot quicker to install. So the idea here is I'm putting this in place under my RV or motorhome, I'm using the included pump, I'm simply putting the included pump hose and twisting it to lock it in place, and then I can turn on my 800 watt pump and just listen how quick and fast this airs up this tube. Now, keep in mind, this is about a three foot long tube, two foot tall.
And just like that, I'm literally inflated. And what did that take Maybe, I don't know, 20 seconds, if even. So zooming back in here, now I can put this cap back on that comes with it, screw it in place, now it's preventing anything from coming back out. That being said, it does have a built-in spring-loaded release, so meaning once I take that hose off, it's not letting anything out anyways. Now, here you can get a better view of those ends and everything.
Like I said, everything's reinforced, again, two layers of that PVC tarpaulin, very strong stuff. Now, the idea here, again, is you're gonna put this in place, if my arm was, say, the frame of the camper RV, obviously, you would put this in before you inflate it, and most likely, this would be curved up around my arm, the frame, a lot more than what you see here. But it's essentially blocking all the air and stuff from blowing in under the RV, under the camper. Now, again, this one's about three feet tall, two feet high, this is a smaller tube. Some of 'em, I believe, can go up to like 10 to 12 foot, don't quote me on that, and it just depends on which system you order, again. But real quick, real easy to set up, really easy to move around. When the time comes, I can literally just open this valve up, push it to deflate it, or I can hook the hose up, reverse the hose to the other side, and suck out all the air really, really fast, really quick. So it's very convenient. Again, you're gonna have individual tubes here with the system. Again, when it's time to deflate, I can either do it manually by simply pushing in on the spring-loaded air stopper, or I can simply use the pump and suck all the air out of 'em really quickly. So again, folks, really easy to use, really nice concept. This is our look at the AirSkirts RV Camper Skirt System. I'm Steven, thanks for watching.
