Guest Tracker Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Wind can be very annoying in the wrong place! Cheapest solution is to get a cheap windbreak and cut it and its poles down to a suitable height to cover the sides but not impede the doors.

Solwaybuggier Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I've seen vans with "mini-windbreaks" to reduce drafts under the van - not sure but I think Lillypad Leisure do them http://www.mysunshade.co.uk/ - although I can't see them on thier website.

Travelling Tyke Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Hello, The material can be bought in mtr lengths, and different heights from caravan and motorhome shops/spares suppliers along with the track that it slides into. The track can be screwed/stuck (or both :-D , if a Tyke) so that the skirt is then slid along the track leaving the skirt hanging down. The bottom of the skirt can then be pegged down if the wind is a little excessive. I can post pics if required. It isn't a difficult job and worth doing IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tracker Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 It all depends on how much you wanna spend I guess? Just make sure you can re use whatever you use if you change the van! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelling Tyke Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Hello Tony +Kay Photos of skirt. 1. Channeling stuck and screwed to underside of MH. 2. Wheel cover. Made from skirt and press-studded on. 3. Skirt and wheel cover fitted. Note:- Channel not fitted under "Beanie box" so it can still be accessed when skirt is fitted. 4. Jubilee clip to stop skirt from sliding up the channel. 5. Bungee chord to hold skirt in place. 6. Ready to be stowed away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keithl Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Hi Tony, I hope it's not too late but we've been at the NEC today and bought some windblockers from LillyPad Leisure and in talking to them found out that they have just introduced a new product of side skirts! They use adhesive 'poppers' which are permanently glued to the MH side and then the sideskirt poppers on and off as required so you do not have to drill holes in your MH. They are not listed on their website yet but call them for details. or get down to one of the shows and save yourself the postage :-D Keith.
