What Is RV Winterization?
RV winterization is the process of preparing an RV's water and plumbing systems for freezing temperatures.
Water left inside vulnerable plumbing components can freeze when temperatures drop, potentially causing damage.
Depending on your RV and how you plan to use it during winter, cold-weather preparation may involve:
→Freshwater systems
→Water lines
→Faucets and fixtures
→Water heaters
→Holding tanks and drains
→Exterior water connections
→Other exposed plumbing components
Every RV is different. The appropriate winterization process depends on your RV's configuration, equipment, and whether you plan to store it or continue using it during winter.
What Is RV Skirting?
RV skirting creates a barrier around the open area between the bottom of your RV and the ground.
This barrier helps reduce cold wind and outside air circulating underneath the RV.
For RV owners who remain parked during colder months, skirting can be an important part of preparing the RV for winter conditions.
What Are the Benefits of RV Skirting?
Properly installed RV skirting can help:
→Reduce cold airflow underneath the RV
→Protect the underside from direct winter wind
→Create a more controlled space beneath the RV
→Support other cold-weather protection measures
→Improve comfort for people staying in their RV during winter
→Reduce propane use during cold weather
→Help maintain warmer, more consistent temperatures inside the RV
RV skirting does not replace proper winterization, but the two can work together as part of a more complete cold-weather strategy.
Professional RV Skirting Installation
PNW RV installs RV skirting to help prepare stationary RVs for cold Northwest weather.
Effective RV skirting requires more than simply covering the open space beneath the RV. It should fit appropriately around the rig while accounting for its specific layout.
Important areas can include:
- RV perimeter coverage
- Corners and transitions
- Slide-out areas
- Steps and entry points
- Utility connections
- Access panels
- Gaps that allow cold air through
- Attachment and securing points
PNW RV can evaluate your RV and determine what is needed for your particular setup.

Every RV has a different layout, which means skirting needs to account for the individual shape, access points, utilities, slide-outs, steps, and other features of the RV.

Does Your RV Skirting Need Repair?
Damaged, loose, or poorly fitting RV skirting can allow cold air to reach the underside of your RV.
Wind, winter weather, repeated installation and removal, and normal wear can cause sections of skirting to loosen or become damaged.
PNW RV can inspect your existing skirting and help determine whether damaged areas can be repaired or need replacement.
Signs Your RV Skirting May Need Repair
Schedule an inspection if you notice:
→Torn or damaged sections
→Loose attachment points
→Sections pulling away from the RV
→Gaps around corners
→Open areas around slide-outs
→Skirting that no longer fits properly near the ground
→Wind repeatedly getting underneath the skirting
Addressing small skirting problems before severe winter weather arrives can help prevent them from becoming larger issues.
Can You Winterize an RV That You Use All Winter?
Preparing an occupied RV for winter is different from winterizing an RV for seasonal storage.
A stored RV may have its water system fully winterized, while an occupied RV needs functioning plumbing along with appropriate cold-weather protection.
If you're staying in your RV during winter, tell PNW RV how the RV will be used. Our team can evaluate your setup and help determine the appropriate cold-weather preparation for your situation.
