Step 1. Measuring & Cutting

The first step is to measure your camper and determine how much foam insulation you&#;ll need. 

This will depend on the length of your camper and how high your camper sits off the ground. If you&#;re parked on a slope, you&#;ll probably have more space on one end of your camper and need more foam to cover the height.

I can&#;t remember exactly how many pieces of foam board we bought, but it was around 6 or 7. A smaller camper would require less. 

Our camper required 2&#; of skirting height. Since the sheets of foam insulation were 4&#;x8&#;, we cut them in half lengthwise and covered 16 feet of our camper with a single piece. There were a few spots where the height was greater than 2&#;, like the gooseneck of our 5th wheel. We left our gooseneck exposed, but you could patch foam board together or buy a fifth wheel skirt.

Marking the foam board to show where to cut

Measuring and calculating how to cut the foam board is the hardest part of this whole project. I recommend drawing it out on a sheet of paper first to help you keep your dimensions straight.

Next, we scored the foam board with a knife, then folded the foam board along the cut and ran the knife down the crease on the back side to cut it all the way through.
