During my 2017 Christmas run up North to Nebraska, I ended up in some serious snow which built up between my main belly pan and the floor boards. The snow didn't even melt when I zipped down to Arkansas fer a few days and I had to remove my side skirts so I could dig it out. Maybe I should configure a winter/summer mode due to the amount of snow that was built up between the belly pan and floor boards with the summer mode sealed up and the winter mode opened up.

I was over rough terrain fer the few days and ended up taking some damage to my rear Coroplast vertical skirt bottom gap covers. I noticed that lower part of right side vertical panel had broken free at the rear and was dragging on the road. I was wondering if having both of the rear vertical skirts dragging on the ground would make any significant difference in sealing off the turbulant air coming off of the rear tires and setting the rear diffuser with cleaner air. The new rear skirts would pivot near the rear axle and contact the road at the rear with a possible option to retract them up when backing up or only using them fer highway use. This would make them a replaceable wear item.
