For leaving the rig parked I'm thinking rig a quick release. The Diagonal braces that run from the floor of the trailer to the skirt could be braced with a vertical brace that runs from the end of the brace straight up to the floor of the trailer. then run a piece of "L" channel down the length of the skirt so it presses against the braces when the skirt is down. Put one quick release at either end of the channel, possibly connect them so that both quick releases work from a single lever (though I cant imagine trying to put the skirts up with just one person). Since the skirt already has a hinge the job is already half done. Just need a fastener to hold the skirt vertical and done!

Now this may be more engineering/work than your interested in sinking into your new trailer but thought Id toss in my 2bits
