What type of plastic are the "Tee" skirts made of?

It all depends. You don't say what motorhome model you have but I looked you up and find that you have a 1977 Royale.
The GMC finished motorhomes at that time used SCM (Sheet Molded Compound) the same as used on the main bodies of the GMC.
Since you have a Royale really all depends on what Coachmen Industries decided to use at the time or perhaps what a prior owner put on.
There have been people that have produced a laid up fiberglass T skirt. If you look inside the T skirt you can usually tell. If it is smooth and has mold marks with smooth ribs it is probably SCM. If it is rough fiberglas then it is laid up work.

Are you trying to repair one?
