AirSkirts tubes will change pressure with temperature fluctuations. When it’s warmer, or the sun is shining directly on them, the tubes will expand a bit, and when it’s colder, they’ll lose some volume. This is due to the air within the tubes compressing when cold and expanding when warm, not air leaking from the tube.
Unless you’re experiencing very large temp changes in a short period of time, you shouldn’t have to do much maintenance on your skirts. If you do have large swings between the highs and lows, some customers have reported good luck placing a heater underneath the RV and running it at a temperature close to the daily high. This will keep the temperature more consistent and help with maintaining even air pressure. Note: Never use anything with an open flame, and always place the heater on concrete, asphalt, or use a paver or bricks.
We recommend inflating them when the temperature is roughly midway between the daily high and low.. Always inflate just until the tubes hold in place by making contact with the I-beam or underbelly of your RV. Always be sure to inflate slowly underneath pipes, pull handles, and similar protrusions.
Using the carabiners and straps included in your welcome kit to attach your tubes together by the D-rings on the ends will provide extra security in case you do have a sudden unexpected cold snap.
If you need to add air, just use your air pump. To release air, open the valve and press on the center spring.
