Drives me mad this, never seem to get a nice seal at the bottom of the van. I have some suckers that you hang t-towels up with and I am going experiment next time we are away.

well we have a twin axle and it sags nicely!!! so have punched a few holes along the top of the skirt, and we have a few 's' shaped hooks and some rubber suckers the ones with a small hook on put them on the van and hook the skirt through my holes i have made up, and the other end on the rubber sucker!!

its brilliant and holds it up nicely!

We use four suckers with hooks, and the wheel cover is upside down so the wheel cover bead and the awning skirt bead both slot into a piece of figure eight plastic mould, quick and easy never had any problems

We went for the easy option and use sticky back velcro, will probably need to be changed every so often but simple.
