The Devil's in the Details
You can spot amateur RV skirting from a mile away - loose corners, gaps where wind gets through, snaps that pop off in the first windstorm. Professional installation looks different, performs better, and lasts longer. Here's what separates our work from the rest.
Corner Work That Actually Works

Look at this corner installation. See how the material follows the RV's contour perfectly? That's not accident - it's precision measuring, cutting, and installation. Every corner is reinforced, every seam is sealed, and the rail system ensures everything stays tight even in BC's worst weather.
Professional Corner Features:
Reinforced stress points where wind loads are highest
Proper material overlap prevents water infiltration
Rail system attachment distributes load evenly
Clean finish that looks professional and lasts
Rail System vs. Snap System: Why It Matters
Most RV skirting uses snap fasteners. They're cheap, fast to install, and they fail constantly. Our rail system costs more upfront but saves money long-term:
Snap System Problems:
Snaps break in wind and cold
Gaps develop as snaps fail
Heat loss increases over time
Constant maintenance and replacement
Our Rail System Advantages:
Even load distribution prevents failure points
Continuous attachment eliminates gaps
Superior insulation performance
Minimal maintenance required
Insulation Integration That Works

See that reflective insulation? It's not just stuffed behind the skirting - it's sewn directly into the material during construction. This integrated approach eliminates thermal bridging and ensures the insulation stays in place for years.
Integrated Insulation Benefits:
No settling - insulation can't shift or compress
Better thermal performance - eliminates air gaps
Longer lasting - protected from moisture and pests
Professional appearance - clean, finished look
Attachment Points That Handle BC Weather
Pipeline workers know BC weather doesn't mess around. Neither do our attachment points:
Strategic Fastener Placement:
Load-bearing points reinforced
Fasteners rated for extreme temperatures
Corrosion-resistant hardware throughout
Redundant attachment prevents cascade failures
Quality Control During Installation
Every installation gets a two-person quality check before we consider it complete:
Installation Checklist:
All attachment points secure and properly torqued
No gaps or loose areas
Proper drainage to prevent ice buildup
Clean, professional appearance
Customer walkthrough and approval
