Anyone seen a better option for trailer skirting besides the track vinyl panels?

Vinyl has too many drawbacks. Poor fit. Weed eater holes. Trash pandas break thru.

Do not want lattice.

I've skirted 100s of mobile homes, unless it is extremely dry I would use vinyl lattice with the 1" holes to allow air circulation.
Have fixed numerous subfloors because of moisture issues

We had hardie board on one at the coast, after about 10 years it was toast and falling apart due to the moisture. Went back with 6 ft. x 8 ft. Pressure-Treated Fence Panels, add some 2" x 2" behind them where you need the extra bracing and cut to size. Most of mine needed to be about 28 to 30" tall so I added a matching 1x6 horizontally across the top where it met the trailer and got 24' of coverage out of a single fence panel. The gaps in the panel will also help with air circulation, big enough for air flow but some small enough to keep critters out.

Back in the day, an old buddy of mine must’ve had a hookup with someone at a door manufacturer.

He took the cutout centers from exterior doors when whoever installed the glass panels.

He painted the panels and it actually looked good.

Edit to add….Roll Tide

My 3rd cousin in The Ozarks just parks his broken down cars around it as a skirt. You can’t even see the possums under it at night.
