    Put some p/t 4x4 posts or landscapes ties on the ground. Use some 2x4 lumber for the top. You may need some 1x or 2x framing for the vertical braces. Get some plywood or vinyl siding/soffit and cut in lengths to fit the opening under the RV. Frame it up and then position it around the RV. You can tack some foam or even fiberglass insulation to the back of the plywood/vinyl. Piece it all together and try to seal it all around. I don't think you need (or want) it to totally airtight. You could do all that for just a few hundred bucks and 2-3 hours, I would think. (I believe you said in an earlier post that you were permanently parked at a site.)

    I have a relative who works on pipelines up north. He lives in a Toy Hauler RV. When he changes job locations, he just breaks down his skirting and takes it to the new site and reinstalls.

    Just Google "rv skirting" and you'll see plenty of ideas, how-to's, and even some companies who sell custom fit skirting.
    Sounds simple enough. My water finally started flowing. Had to let it warm up a bit outside.

    I can't find any access panels. May be different with the FLR.

    There'll be panels there in the front pass-through. They're covered hardboard panels attached to framing with many #2 Robertson head screws. That's the only access to the water pump, water heater and furnace plus all the plumbing behind the docking station.
