Jun 10, 2007 · CJ and BFF, thank you for the suggestions and the link. I never thought about "skirting". I put that in Google search and got a whole lot more pages with ideas.

Mar 20, 2011 · Dh and I lived in a 40 ft fifth wheel for 5 years until we moved a used mobile home onto the farm. By living in the RV we were able to get the mobile home livable alot sooner than if we lived off the farm.
