You know you could put a door in your skirting, like people do with their mobile homes, so you can still utilize under the trailer for storage.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Your skirting will help to keep you warmer on the terribly cold days ahead. To me that makes your skirting a work of art. So happy to see the teamwork between you two. It helps make the work load lighter. Blessings and best wishes.

Don't forget to insulate your propane tanks. You will use more the colder they get. Battery will expire more quickly the colder it gets too. Good luck, keep warm!

Shannon works so much better than I would with Kyle! I would have dropped everything and stomped off before the first piece was taped on!😅

If it goes below freezing in your area -you might want to use heat tape to wrap the pipes and then wrap insulation over top of the tape which is wound around the pipes.

Having lived in a trailer for a few years when we skirted we left one end so it could hinge open for storage and we put heat lamps underneath near plumbing that we could plug in during hard freezes. Worked for years. Love ❤️

Glad you kids will be warm for winter. Who cares what it looks like at least you'll be warm. It actually doesn't look so bad. Wow the door for the tanks looks really good. Kyle do not paint it. If it screws it up then you have to buy all new material and redo the entire things. Sometimes leaving well enough alone is the best.

Y’all are some nice and sweet kids great job on your homestead

My thoughts on the skirt is that not perfectly perfect, but when I look at the result it looks sufficiently perfect to be perfectly sufficient for the desired result.

Don't you do what we do in Scotland and Lag your pipes when. You know the temperature is going to drop? You can use polyethylene foam, cheap as chips in the DIY stores.

Yeah definitely wrap your pipes or take a pool noodle to wrap around them

Number your skirting pieces so that after you remove them in the spring, they can be stored and re-installed next winter.

Although it took longer but you can live with it 😜. You guys did a very good job 👍

Put a 100 watt old fashion bulb in the well house. Worked for mine.

Might want to get some heat tape for your pipes so they don't freeze.

Hey if you tape an extra piece on the inside to keep that loose panel from going inside to far and then make a slot for a piece to catch on both panels to hold closed it will keep it from being ripped off during a windy day!!

Great job y'all! Your finished product looks great compared to some I've seen! You may want to also consider something over your roof. I don't want to sound like I'm harping, but we just had to spend a boatload of money repairing our six-year-old camper roof. And Shanon, I cracked up at you telling Kyle "not to look under here" when taping under the hitch. 🤣😂

Great job you 2 and Herc too. LOL and prayers.💖💖👍👍🐶🐶🙏🙏

Well you know what they say “a man and his dog” 😉👍🏼 love it Hercules is very loved and will do an amazing job protecting Shaddy Acres👍🏼💜💜💜great job on the camper 👍🏼🤗

Hope you stay warm! It doesn't matter if your camper looks good, just that you are comfortable.

Also some reflexive sheets to put in your windows it helps to keep the warmth in. Hi from North Dakota

Kyle I have a friend that installed some Heat on Demand water heaters. In his bathrooms , kitchen and laundry room . And they are amazing . So I thought Shanon and you might want to check them out . Great job on the skirting . And Shanon did a great job under the trailer while dealing with Herc .

Awesome job on insulation.maybe on one of the ends of a slide out you could do a little door like you did for grey water to store stuff under the camper.Hod Bless ❤️🙏

I am so glad that you got that done and you will be warm. Our tempatures here in PA are about the same as yours. I live on social security and just don't have any extra so I begin my 2nd winter with no heat as the furnace needs replaced. Hopefully it will be a mild one.

I’m surprised Kyle didn’t choose to put the silver side out. Hercules and Nilla looked good playing together.

@KSGetOut

Жыл бұрын

The silver side needed to go facing in to help keep the heat contained under the camper 😉

WATER PIPES AND INSULATION TIPS: Let your faucets drip overnight and leave any cabinet doors that have water pipes open at night(and daytime also if below freezing outside). You might want to leave bathroom door open when super cold out. Parking your vehicless around the camper on the north side as a wind break may help. You might want to check your upper cabinets, closets, bench seats and under your bed for any way to Insulate those areas. Maybe use your clothes, extra blankets or bed clothes as a way to Insulate those areas a bit. Typically lined blackout curtains are heavy duty curtains(you may have to do your own modification to make them fit the camper windows. Lastly, Reflectix Insulation is a great option for making temporary, reusable, on/off windows and door coverings for night-time and alsi great for using on indoor water pipes (save them for summer too) Stay warm y'all!!!

Looks great! As long as it keeps you toasty!

It's looks great now, you will stay warmer.

The best way to learn is ro get out there and do it!!! Skirting is very functional and practical. Painting it would be a waste of money... great job!!!

I see Hercules's Brown spots are really coming through perfectly he is a beautiful dog

Nice going getting the camper ready for winter! Don't want your pipes to freeze! I was looking at a temp map and the whole country is getting a big cool off after the hot summer. Temps are way below normal all over! 💖💖💖

Main thing is warm and comfortable on the cold days. Looks good considering it is for functionality. Love Nola and Herc🐾💞🐾 and you guys to ❤

Hi Kyle and Shannon, Good job with the goats and turkeys and ginnies. Have a nice day

I sure hope it works for you! I know a lot of full-timers who put hay bales under there first and then put the boards around it. Idk if it makes a difference because we don't have to worry about that in AZ. When will you be bringing the goats over? Now that your full time out there, you should bring them over and get a few more animals.

great job guys. stay warm. love your channel.

Good job guys. That looks warmer than some other things I have seen others use. Stay warm.

Yep it’s time for a storage shed. You may not have time for that however, maybe you can find a used shipping container like some of your fellow KZreadrs. Then you wouldn’t have to worry about moving stuff back-and-forth crammed into a little space. Plus, it might come in handy in the future for some other use.

Hurck look so happy, like this is ALL MINE💕

Could you buy a metal storage shed to store all your tools? Sometimes you’ll find them real cheap on FB or Craig’s. That would help you out a lot.

If a job is worth doing it's worth doing well. 💯 Stay warm.

Blessings from Proctor Minnesota! Awesome job you two! The dogs seem to love their new home.

You should make a frame for insulation support then a storage door if you aren't going build a storage shed. Get Chad over there he builds pretty good sheds.

Have you wrapped pipes underneath and/or used heat tape? Dutch experienced frozen pipes in his mobile home. Not fun. Of course he used hay bales.

Here in Ky we had snow yesterday and day temps in the 30's and nights in the 20's. So don't whine, lol. Your day is coming but at least you're getting ready. Good luck to you and God bless. I love you guys.

Y’all need something like a Shelterlogic to store all the items you had under the camper.

While I will not say skirting is good. My experience has been you do not absolutely have to have it. I have lived in my camper for over 5 years in the mountains of NewMexico. Never have I skirted my camper. What I found more important than any thing was to get an rv rated heated water hose. I watch people here try the heat tape trick and then have so many problems with it. My water only freezes when it gets below 20. When it gets below that I turn on my facets to drip and all is good. Your 20 gallon tanks of propane will be the other problem. Get something larger. Maybe 100. That is what I use. They last about 2 weeks in my climate. That is why I have 2. One runs out and you have a few days to get the other refilled. With snow a foot deep or worse at times this has worked for me. Then some of the reflective material for the windows and you should be good. Anyway everyone has their own method. Good luck in your venture.

Last Sunday it was 78* and today it was 35* in East Tn.

Glad you got your camper skirted. Doesn’t look bad at all, and the best part is that it’ll keep you warm and hopefully keep your pipes from freezing. Take care and God bless. 🙂

Kyle and Shanon, why don’t you rent a pod container to store your tools and outside furniture in for the winter. (It will protect from wind, snow ,rain and ice).

We looked in to that and unfortunately they don't deliver to our area 😏

Back in the day when you could still get incandescent bulbs, we used to hang a 40 watt trouble light under where the bathroom was and another under where the kitchen was. This kept the floors and tanks warm. Nowadays they have a heat mat for the tanks that you can plug in to suppliment the heat tape. You might want to be wrapping your gray and black water plumbing... nothing worse than a winter black tank freeze up, only to find it thawing in the spring and spewing under you. (Shudder, voice of experience) Love and blessings you guys! As a fellow perfectionist and tending to over engineering my solutions, gotta say you are on the right track!

I guys 👋😊 awesome job on the skirting. I just saw another video where the guys bought a cover for their RV. Made of really thick material with layers or something. Are y'all going to do that as well. Cover the top and sides of your RV? I totally love watching your videos. Your banter back and forth is so cool. Stay safe,. Be well,. Stay warm,. Most important. Keep loving each other 🙏❤️👍 🧑‍🦳🏜️

Make a door so u can still use for storage.

For two people who work very differently ~ you work together well. I do love your videos. Thanks for sharing your journey & adventures. Blessings & warm days to you ❤

Way to go guys, great job

You can also get hay bales and put them around your trailer and then use the straw or hay for bedding later on for the goats, pigs, chickens etc. or bag the leaves around the property and stack the bags up around the trailer and it is free except for the bags! Pool noodles for your water lines and sewage lines( they can freeze, too!) Bubble wrap on the windows indoors, too. Good luck and God Bless!

Great job guys. You work well together. Stay warm. Love you God bless

Looks nice. Will look better later. I truly enjoy watching your videos

Great job both. Love your inspectors they are cute xx

My husband and I just insulated the back wall and ceiling of the front storage area with the roll out foil insulation to stop the air flow coming under our bed. Also insulated the slide out closet to stop the condensation forming. Helped immensely! We have the extreme polar package on our travel trailer but the area in the pass thru storage compartment was letting cold air in around the water pump. We also used the same reflective tape. You should consider having the propane company deliver a 100lb tank to save on constantly filling your tanks all winter.

Don't forget about the mylar bubbles. You can get it at the lumber store in the roofing insulation. Cut it to fit the windows. Put duck tape on the corners. Poke a hole in the corners and hang them with command hooks. Stay warm. Just my 2 cents.

Leave your faucets dripping and doors open under the sink to add a little more protection. So glad you got it skirted! You will always need storage for the blower, weedeater, hammers, saws ect...why not reach out to a local storage shed company and see if you could get one and do a sponsorship with them.

Hmmm I wonder if you could put that foam on the ground to get the temp up underneath there? KIDDING! It looks great, y'all did a heck of a job cutting in all those ins and outs. If you paint it, maybe use black to absorb the sunshine. This is SO exciting! It's really coming together.
