THE LEGAL DEALIO
WARRANTY AND RETURNS
RV Skirts are a great way to protect your RV from freezing weather but you must use common sense as
well. Run your heat at all times and validate that pipes are not freezing. In some climates an auxilary heat
source may be needed underneath your RV.
AirSkirts works by providing a large buffer of insulation around the base of your RV - this prevents wind
from whisking away your valuable energy and allows heat that dissipates from your oor to be retained,
keeping your pipes warm and saving you on energy costs.
A skirt is not a guarantee that nothing will freeze. AirSkirts cannot be held liable for damage caused by
freezing temperatures.
We believe in and stand by our product. Not happy? Return it within 30 days with our no-hassle return
policy. We offer an excessively long guarantee on the product - AirSkirts comes with a FIVE YEAR warranty.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS: READ FIRST
IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVERINFLATE. Tubes should have just enough air to stay in place and will be loose
to the touch.
AIR EXPANDS AND CONTRACTS WITH TEMPERATURE. You must add or remove air from the tubes
during signicant temperature changes. As temperature rises, air expands; an over pressurized tube could
damage your trailer or motorcoach.
NOT A TOY OR FLOTATION DEVICE. Please don’t oat down the river, use in the pool, or have a sword ght.
TIRE WEDGES ARE NOT WHEEL CHOCKS. Our tire wedges are not intended to replace wheel chocks and
you should always chock your RV when setting up. For our tire wedges to work properly your wheel chocks
should be placed around the outside of the wheels. Tire wedges are not compatible with X-Chocks.

PREPARING YOUR RV FOR FIRST TIME USE
MONITORING AIR PRESSURE
AirSkirts are extremely puncture resistant and can be placed on normal ground,
cement, gravel, etc. If any sharp objects are on the ground you should remove
them prior to setup. You may want to consider laying down a tarp for extra
protection and to keep your kit clean.
Before beginning setup for the rst time, inspect the underside of your RV for
sharp corners. On some RVs these can be found on stabilizer jacks and around
stairs. Inspect your chassis carefully for sharp objects that could puncture your
skirt.
When properly inated (see ination instructions) sharp objects should not
puncture your AirSkirts tubes. However, when temperatures rise, air pressure
in your AirSkirts will increase, so we recommend protecting your AirSkirts from
sharp objects and corners with the included protective material.
First, thoroughly clean and dry the area where the protection is required. A wire
brush and / or rubbing alcohol may be required. For 90 degree angled corners,
such as under stairs and stablizers, use the corner protectors, ensuring the
front of the protector faces the tubes. Use the roll of 90 degree exible tape for
any other areas that need protection. Some RVs won’t require any protective
material.
With drastic temperature changes the pressure in your AirSkirts tubes will
change. Higher temperatures will increase the pressure in the tubes while lower
temperatures will decrease the pressure.
It is important to monitor pressure in your tubes during temperature changes.
To let air out of the tubes, simply depress the spring loaded mechanism in the
valve and air will ow out. To add pressure, reconnect your AirSkirts pump.
PREVENT PUNCTURES BY PROTECTING SHARP CORNERS

STEP 1: UNPACKAGE AND POSITION TUBES
Unfold the tubes so the valves face straight up.
Begin placing the tubes underneath the trailer or motorcoach so that the
inated portion of the tube will meet the chassis. On some trailers there will be
an I-beam; on others you will make contact with the at, bottom surface.
IMPORTANT: Do not place the tubes against outside plastic skirting or other
breakable objects.
TIP: Longer tubes generally work well at the front and back ends of the trailer
or motorhome. There are many ways to congure your AirSkirts kit – with some
experimentation you will nd the layout that works best for you. Contact us for
help and suggestions!
Sewer drains, valves, and other elements beneath your RV are no problem. The
tubes will push up and conform underneath these elements.

STEP 3: DUAL-AXLE TIRE COVERS
To use our optional dual-axle tire covers simply remove them from the bag
and work the elastic strap around the tires. Alternate sides until the covers
completely cover both tires and the frontmost seam is inline with the top front
of your tires. Reposition until you are satised with the appearance. Tire covers
should be added after the tire wedges but before the rest of the skirt tubes.
STEP 2: TIRE WEDGES
If you have ordered tire wedges, place them between the base of your tires and
inate. Make sure your wheel chocks are on the outside of your tires, not the
inside, before proceeding. Note that the tire wedges do not replace the function
of wheel chocks and chocks should still be used. Also note that tire wedges
are not compatible with X-Chocks. If you ordered tire wedges for the top of your
tires as well, place and inate them on the top. Repeat on the other side of
the trailer. Reposition the tire wedges as you inate. Tire wedges inate very
quickly - we recommend adding a small amount of air to make positioning them
manageable, followed by positioning them and completing ination.

STEP 5: PARTIALLY INFLATE AND POSITION
In dry weather connect the electric air pump to AC power. Do not use or operate
the pump in rain or allow the pump to become wet.
Connect the ination hose to the port on the pump closest to the on/off switch.
Note that you may have stored the air pump with the hose in reverse (for
deation) during your last use – to set the air pump to inate, detach the hose
from the air pump and reverse sides (detailed break down instructions follow in
a later section of this manual).
Connect the ination hose to the tube by inserting the nozzle, pushing in rmly,
and turning clockwise. It may help to grasp the valve with your other hand.
Partially inate the tube and then reposition it so it ts snugly with the other
tubes and tires. Rotate the tubes so that the valves and AirSkirts logo face
forward (and not up). Repeat this process with each tube. Where the tubes meet
wheel, place the black end of the tube at the base of the tire and adjust as you
inate so that the tube conforms around the tire.
To connect the pump, align the
nozzle, insert it, and turn right.

STEP 6: INFLATE TUBES
With a helper, continue ination. As the tubes inate continue to adjust their
position so they create a seal with each other and with your tires. You may wish
to pause ination to reposition the tubes as you go.
The tubes are inated when they t snugly below the underside of the trailer or
motorcoach and do not move out of place with a light kick. Tubes will be exible
to the touch – it is especially important that you do not overinate the tubes
– see warnings and precautions.
When the pressure seems correct, remove the ination nozzle. Turn off the
pump after removal. Close the valve cover, using caution to not trap the string
between the cover and seal. If desired, tubes can be connected together by
attaching the D-rings (version 5+ model tubes only) to each other using a
bungee, lock, or zip-tie (not included).
Make sure you monitor tubes during temperature changes. Air expands and
contracts with temperature you may need to occassionally add or remove air.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE READ THIS PAGE CAREFULLY

STEP 7: STAIR PILLOW
STEP 8: BUFFER PILLOW
STEP 9: AIRLIGHTS AND REFLECTIX
If you have ordered the stair pillow, place it above your top step and underneath
your RV with the stairs open and inate. Stair pillows inate in seconds - use
caution not to overinate. Note that only some stairs require a stair pillow.
If you have ordered buffer pillows you can them to ll gaps as needed .Simply
place the pillow in the area you want to ll in and inate (watch out - they inate
very quickly). If the pillow is too wide you can slide the sides on top of the
adjacent tubes prior to ination.
For interior insulation cut Reectix to size for windows you’d like to insulate. In
most cases Reectix is stiff enough to stay in place without adhesive.
For AirLights, connect the pump and inate very briey. AirLights inate in
seconds so use caution to not overinate and burst. Place into your skylight by
pushing the AirLight into the recessed skylight area. If needed, release some air
by pressing on the valve stem and reinate in place.

BREAKING DOWN YOUR AIRSKIRTS KIT
TROUBLESHOOTING
First, make sure your pump is in the deate position. If not, grasp the
solid plastic end of the hose (where it attaches to the pump) and twist
counterclockwise (left) to remove. Repeat for the debris guard on the opposite
end of the pump. Reattach the pieces on the opposite ends by lining up the
slots with the pegs in the pump, inserting, and twisting clockwise (right).
Attach the pump to the tube and turn it on. Once the tube is deated enough
to remove pull it out from under your RV. We nd it easiest to clean the tubes
when partially deated – do whatever works best for you. Ensure the tubes are
completely dry before folding and packing away.
Once most of the air is removed, turn off the pump and atten the tube, getting
rid of as many wrinkles as possible. Continue deating the remainder of the air
and disconnect the hose while the pump is still running. Note: the spring loaded
mechanism in the center of the valve must be open in the upright position or air
will re-enter the tube.
Then, just fold the tube however works best for you – the way it came, roll it up,
or go for your favorite origami animal. Put the tubes into your storage bag and
you’re good to go!
Tubes losing air?
If all of your tubes are losing air it’s probably due to temperature changes.
You’ll need to keep up with monitoring and maintaining air levels in the tubes. If
you have one tube that’s not maintaining pressure, rst unscrew the valve cover
and make sure the spring loaded mechanism is open in the upright position
(push down on the spring and turn) - it will pop up if it was locked in. The next
step is to check for punctures. If you don’t see an obvious one, use a mixture of
water and liquid soap, pour it over the tube while applying some pressure, and
look for any bubbling. Very small punctures may require the use of a paintbrush
and soapy water to locate. Please contact support if you are unable to locate a

puncture.
Punctured tube?
In the unlikely event a tube is punctured you can use the patch material
included with your kit. We don’t send adhesive with the kit, but you can pick up
a tube of liquid PVC at most hardware stores or order from an online retailer
such as Amazon. Clean the area to be patched with soap and water followed by
rubbing alcohol. Cut a circle from the patch material and follow the directions on
the adhesive packaging.
Problems while deating?
If you happen to have forgotten your pump, lack electricity, or if your pump is not
working and you need to break down, you can open the valve covers, turn and
depress the spring loaded mechanism so it locks in place and leave the tubes
for several hours; they will mostly deate on their own. Then, starting at the
end opposite from the open valve, roll the tube tightly to remove as much of the
remaining air as possible.
