Aerodynamic skirt assembly

A method of installing a skirt panel assembly to a trailer comprising:

• positioning a resilient skirt panel upon an underside of the trailer in a predetermined configuration;
• mounting a resilient ‘v brace’ upon an interior surface of the skirt panel, wherein the resilient ‘v-brace’ brace has a vertical portion with a height at least half of a height of the resilient skirt panel and wherein the ‘v-brace’ is wholly positioned within the interior surface of the skirt panel;
• and
• securing the skirt panel to the underside of the trailer via a pair of brackets that facilitate connection to an upper flange of the skirt panel.

A trailer skirt assembly comprising:

• a resilient skirt panel for installation on a trailer;
• a resilient ‘v-brace’ brace that supports the skirt panel, wherein the resilient ‘v-brace’ brace provides structural support to the skirt panel and resists wind deflection, wherein the resilient ‘v-brace’ brace comprises a vertical portion and a horizontal portion that meet at an angle of around 90° , and wherein the vertical portion has a height of at least half of the height of the skirt panel and wherein the ‘v-brace’ is wholly positioned within an interior surface of the skirt panel;
• and
• a plurality of brackets that facilitate mounting of the resilient skirt panel to a mounting surface.
