- Our DIY RV SKIRTING using FOAM BOARD for RV WINTER. Winter is here so we had to DIY our RV skirting using foam board right away to make sure our pipes don’t freeze. There are different forms of RV skirting. Find out if we think using foam boards for RV winter installation is the best plan of action.
Thanks for watching and sticking with us. We are super grateful you are here!
See you next week!

My kids and I did the RV thing and CPS in Michigan said nope from November to April ... God bless yall
Oh man! I’m sorry to hear that. Hopefully you still have your RV and can go on some fun adventures when it warms up! ❤️
Always great to see Chris tackling the DIY jobs head-on. The boys looked so happy with their Christmas-themed drinks :)
Haha thank you! It’s becoming a regular thing with this lifestyle 🤣! The boys love hot chocolates this time of year! Since it’s not nearly as cold there, are hot chocolates popular in the Philippines? ❤️
You really did a great job! I made a "snake" for our slide out of pillow filling and fleece.
Thank you so much! It’s held up surprisingly well! I hope it stays that way 🤣🤞🏼
Although it would be nice to not need it and be in Cali with you two 🤣
Great video we all have to do what we have to do in the Winter time to stay warm I'm right there with you buddy👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks so much, Mike! Yeah, it’s not the prettiest, but hoping it gets the job done!
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily Exactly and just in case don't forget the reflectics inside the windows to keep it a little bit warmer but of course if you want to look outside then don't worry about it
@@mikeandre9027 thank you so much, Mike!
Love the ambitious adventures you continue to have! The skirting looks great. You are brave to do it yourself. 🙃
Thank you so much! 🤣 the water was running just fine today and snow everywhere! How is it in your neck of the woods? ❤️
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily Cold but no snow yet. Still waiting to get the new yo us trailer. Love seeing the boys! 🤭🥰
@@leapoffaithrv we have been thanking of you! I hope it works out! ❤️
I’m going to give you a couple of ideas. When it comes to the wheel wells you can cut a piece of the skirting in a length that will fit on top of the wheel wells by about 3 inches wide. The remaining piece can be laid over this and you will have extra to put in vertical pieces for a good seal on the ends. It can be done with 1 sheet and if you want to secure the bottom of the skirting you can use long spikes. I think they are about a foot long. This will help if you get high winds in your area.
Thank you so much! It flew all over the place. We will definitely try that! Really appreciate it!
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily it might be a little overkill but you can space the spikes about 3 feet apart and at the corners you can put 1 In about 3 inches from the end in each direction. Another thing that helps is to put tape on the edge of the styrofoam. I use 2 inch thick styrofoam so I get an overlap of 1/2 inch on each side with 3 inch tape. This way the tape that you use has a better surface to stick to instead of the styrofoam edge.Also,when you are taping the styrofoam on, you can get 1 1/2 inches of tape on the trailer wall and 1 1/2 inches on the styrofoam. Another thing that will help is to clean the area where you want to put the tape. Glass cleaner and paper towels work good for this. Good Luck.
Was it warm after u put that I'm abt to do ours
It definitely kept the underbelly warm and the floors were warmer as a result, no too cold in the mornings. I did learn a lesson though, I would use 2 inch next time and ensure the bottom is secure with some concrete blocks.
Yea, that looks like a pain if your traveling with set-up/teardowns on a frequent basis, plus storing it while on the road . . .
Just avoid cold weather - HA!
That’s a good idea! I know, it all won’t fit underneath so it will be a bit unsightly inside the RV. Last year we ran into so much snow, in places that usually never get snow 🤣 we thought we would be prepared this time, but not sure this is the best solution 😅 I hope you two had a great weekend!
Now I feel bad we just got in Florida and had to turn on the AC it was hot 😎
Rub it in Joe 🤣 I’m kidding! I’m so glad you made it safely! Let us live vicariously through you! We are excited to hear about your fun in the sun!
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily hey come on down 🌞
RV DIY with Shorts Chris. Nice to have someone so handy. Never knew you need to do this with an RV. What is the benefit for putting the skirt? Chris cracks me up 😂. Poor Chris is freezing and the fam is chilling at Starbucks. How much was the more expensive option. Cool to see how much you guys saved.
🤣 Carl, he will wear shorts all winter and then when it’s really hot in the summer he will wear pants. I can’t talk any sense into him so I don’t even try anymore 😂😂😂 The skirting options are usually thousands of dollars so it did save a lot but as you can see it might not be that mobile friendly. We thought that we were being smart 🤣 It’s doing the trick for now though. Have you got snow yet?
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily We should be getting it tomorrow. Winter is coming!
@@SantosChronicles ahh it’s here in Michigan today! Ground covered in it!
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily We are now full of snow this morning ❄️
😱 I hope you enjoy it! The boys are so excited- Chris and I, not so much 🤣
by the way... it's NEVER too early for Christmas movies.. Christmas anything ! Sometimes we all need that Christmas joy to pull us through the darkness, especially during cold dark winters !
Hailee! So great to see you over here! I so agree. Thankful for your friendship! ❤️
Hmmmm - I would have measured the RV and had a plan… Just sayin’. 😁
I’m wondering if you need to be that exact with closing it in. Even if it isn’t airtight, just blocking the wind from blowing underneath should make enough of a difference. Then it would be fewer pieces and easier to transport.
I would also tape the rough edges to keep them from making a mess as you move them around.
Just sayin’…. Probably should have asked me first. 🧐
Janis, i’m tagging you in from now on! 🤣 I always tell Chris preparations saves perspiration- 😅 I had to include that in here because I was glad he acknowledged it 🤣. How are you two?! Is it getting cold? More snow in the forecast here this week 🫠. ❤️
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily we’re doing good! It is getting cold and it spit some snow overnight but it didn’t stick. Is winter over yet?!? 😕
