AirSkirts for Motorhomes?

https://camperreport.com/rv-skirting-airskirts-video/

What are AirSkirts?
AirSkirts are a series of military grade inflatable skirting products that offer superior fit and insulation characteristics to standard RV skirting, and require NO drilling whatsoever. They are also attractive enough to be used in luxury RV resorts or HOA locations without any pushback, in most cases. By sealing the underside of the RV and trapping that air beneath, AirSkirts are beneficial in both winter and summer.

A barn door will always be just that: no matter how you dress it up..

Did you ever think about your breakover angles? Mid-span will find a way to hit the ground when going over a bump!

They are rather expensive, but may be worth it for long term winter camping. If I needed to camp in the winter for a few days to a week, I would tape a painter's drop cloth around the whole coach. $70 in materials should do it. See: https://www.amazon.com/Canvas-Drop-C...dDbGljaz10cnVl

A veritable vermin motel. Roaches to snakes to rats to raccoons.
I'll guess they're heavy.
I'll guess once deflated it's huge and bulky and biggger than most rv bins. Two Large bags....
I'll guess the dirt and detritus makes them nice to handle when putting away.
I'll say with the right crosswind they'd land in the next county.
I'll say I don't need to save potentially 15% of my propane use badly enough to offset it with $3,000.
I'll say I don't see a single benefit, even if free.

But
I sway easily.

What about winter storage at home?

Better because more control.
Stray cats maybe instead of mice, but the smallest hole makes for the biggest safe-house.
No need to store in the RV.
Hose them down on the driveway before storing away from RV. Easy.

I would far rather have the under of my rv
Open instead of haven.

But
You've made me see some potential.

Duct tape and if available, sand or gravel to hold the bottom down.
