What a world of difference that skirt makes!
It was cool and getting colder when we installed the skirt. We did our best to get it all on in one piece as you had suggested and we had a couple of overlaps and wonky folds around the tow frame up front and around the spare tire in the back, but it went on real well.
We had about a three foot overlap where we started so that I could pull back the flap to crawl in underneath to open the black and gray water valves, which worked very well, too. The sewerage hose was undercover except for about the last three feet from the connection, so we covered that to keep it from freezing and we put our heated fresh water hose inside a 3" conduit as well.
A 750/1500W ceramic Pelonis heater on a plastic tote lid kept the temperature pretty moderate underneath in spite of a week of -10 to -20 weather which came the week after the skirting was installed. We had high winds also and I didn't have time to hook up a pvc pipe frame around the perimeter, so I laid a ladder on the excess material on each side of the trailer and everything was copacetic.
The trailer actually felt warmer than it had the week before we put the skirt on, prior to the real cold weather.
The temperature moderated after that week, but it stayed pretty chilly, twenties and thirties during the days, teens and single digits at night right up until we were ready to move out to snowbird.
When it came time to remove the skirt we were surprised how easy it was to take it off. The removal tool is pretty weak, actually (my one criticism of the whole set-up). It's fragile and has a tendency for the two halves of the body of the tool to separate, then the blade twists out, but it's easy enough to just twist everything back into shape and continue to work. More of a pain in the neck than anything; but you can always use a flat bladed screwdriver.
When that skirt came off, it changed everything inside that trailer! The floor got cold, the air got cold, the cat got cold, the wife got cold and we had to take off before we all got hot! The word "cold" is significant because now it was 360 degrees all around us.
The most difficult part of the process was rolling up the skirt to store it after removal. It gets awkward to handle, especially when it's cold, and it's pretty heavy. Fortunately, we had a garage floor to use, so we swept off the dirt and crud, and paper-towel dried the moist areas before rolling it up and putting it away.
So we escaped Montana before the next snow arrived and now we're in Florida where the sun still shines and the winds are warm.
I would have taken pictures for you before we left, but we were in a hurry. I'd take some now for you, but they won't have a skirt in them. They'll just make you jealous!
