- as for covering the fifth wheel when we aren't there I bit on the Diamond Kote protection for about $700 to help preserve the outside and mostly because I don't want to be climbing all over to wax it.
- the plan is to add a deck and a roof that covers both the deck and trailer next season. I'm also in the process of ordering a bunk house with a loft for extra room for visitors.
I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on skirting and if it's a good idea to do it for the winter months ? And in regards to my black tank is it better to hard pipe in and leave it open or only empty as required?

Only empty the black tank as required. If you leave it open, liquids will go down no problem, but solids will build up and get stuck. You need both stewing in the tank to make a nice slop that will flow out when you empty it as needed.
People with skirts swear by them. If you're going to be there in the winter or late fall, you may want to consider an
insulated skirt. With an insulated skirt, you can throw a heater under there and it will make you toasty warm. If it's more an aesthetic thing or just a summer thing, uninsulated is fine and less expensive. If it's something you want to do, PM me and I'll get you a nice discount.
One other thing I was thinking about your trailer is to keep it simple and don't overload it with board games and stuff. Just bring a couple you know you are going to use. It's easy to clutter up cupboards with too much stuff. I just sold our trailer a month ago and when I was cleaning it out I was pulling out so many games and stuff that we never used in the 10 years we had the trailer. Would have been way better not having that stuff in there all those years.
