TTACHING THE 

S

KIRT

 

The skirt panels attach to the vehicle using the skirt clips.  The clips can be attached to 
the vehicle wall by two different methods. 

NOTE:

  Some vehicles may be equipped with an awning rail mounted for the skirting.  

Simply slide the fabric with the polyrod at top into the rail and proceed to “Crossing the 
Entry Step” on page 10. 

 

1. 

For first time installations, thoroughly clean the vehicle wall where the panels are to 
be placed.  Remove all grease, dirt and wax from the area

2

2. 

Using a non-permanent marker, mark the desired height of the skirt. 

3. 

On one end of the skirt and place a clip into the webbing on the back of the skirt. 

a.  Remove the release paper from the tape on the back of the bracket and 

firmly press the bracket into position in-line with the edge of the canopy and 
the marks made in step 2. 

b. 

Repeat down the length of the skirt. 

c. 

Adjust the position of the clip in the webbing to avoid openings and obstacles 
on the vehicle wall. 

d.  As an alternate method of attaching the clips, Hold the clip in position and 

attach using one (1) #10 x ¾” pan head screw.  Screws are furnished by the 
individual installer and not included with room. 

NOTE:  

The vinyl panel is a generic length that may be longer than your room.  You 

may find it desirable to mark and trim any excess material that extends past the room.  
Be sure to trim after the box stitching so that the corners of the skirt can be attached.

 To remove wax, it is necessary to use a pre-wax cleaner or polisher.  These are 

commercially available at automotive supply stores.
