anybody have experience with air skirts for cold weather?
Air skirts look like they would work for long stay at a cold destination, however big bucks for a complete skirt around. Im thinking about swimming pool cover supports for skirting my camper. They come in about the same sizes but I would guess not as durable, but a lot less expensive. Donhasies pool supply has them. Any experience with inflatable skirts for campers?

I looked at them when we were thinking about skirting. One of my concerns was the number of sharp edges, protruding screws, metal fender skirting turned up at the sharp corners, sewer pipe brackets - you get the idea - around the perimeter of our 310. I'm sure I would have one or more holes in inflatable skirting in short order. Another consideration for any kind of skirting is the bulk if you plan on packing up and moving the rig. Where do you store and carry that kind of bulk?
In the final analysis, with dual pane windows and supplementing with the fireplace and one portable heater, we go through precious little propane in the winter, anyway (we usually winter in southern NM or in the upper Chesapeake area at Aberdeen Proving Ground) where the winters are nearly as harsh as yours in central Montana. We stay quite comfortable and the added expense (and trouble) of skirting is not worth it for us. I'm sure your situation is different up where you are.
