DIY RV Skirting: How we did it at NO COST!!
We decided to chase our dreams and bought 35 acres on top of a Mesa in Colorado. We knew building a home ourselves wouldn’t be easy. Becoming unemployed in the process has forced us to get creative and tighten our budget. Being frugal and planning ahead is a necessity with having a large family. We knew Winter would sneak up on us and that skirting the 5th wheel was going to save us from freezing pipes and help us maintain warmer temps inside for our crew. We shopped around, and then found kind hearted locals willing to part with unconsumable hay at no cost to us!! We live in an incredible community. God had put so many individuals in our path that are not only helping buoy up our spirits but are helping us bring our dreams and visions for our family to life. We know the hard work, struggles, and refining is far from over. We also know it’ll all be worth it!!
Feel free to watch as we continue to learn and experiment while we build our dream home mostly off grid in the middle of nowhere!

What a FIRE HAZARD and a MOUSE HEAVEN.
You can reuse the hay bales for garden beds in the spring!

Straw is ACTUALLY an insulator and doesn’t invite mice as there are seeds, food in hay. Better have cats living under your rv

@@itsworthit5029 ok well I’m staying in an rv til my new home is built hopefully this fall. I had a house fire, thank you.
hay?????me thinks the insurance coverage would be rather expensive like sitting on a powder keg.and yes mice. there was a small travel trailer in montana i had observed for many years on a ranch and it burned down hopefully the owner wasnt inside
Oh.. that's not a fire hazard at all. Nope.

Well not just that but the fire hazard that comes along with it. I mean let's be real what are you going to save five bucks a propane bottle. The walls are like 2in thick on an RV. Bunch of rocket scientists over here huh. Maybe you should douse it in gasoline I heard it insulates more lol

@@donaldcouch3832 it's pretty ridiculous that I even have to explain this further. Dried hay underneath the RV is not only a fire hazard but also poses a explosion hazard if there is a LP leak under the coach. Obviously heat rises and think about a large Ring of fire underneath and around the camper. The RV itself is already somewhat flammable so adding more flammable article is nonsense.

@@iair-conditiontheoutsideai3076 How do you think hay is stored? It's typically stored in wooden barns and sheds. Are they not flammable? Hay does not spontaneously combust, lol. If you're concerned, use greener hay. I would not be concerned in the least. The RV itself (made of very light and dry wood) is much more flammable than the hay.
