Threaded screw inserts
Fellow Toy Hauler Folks, I'm interested in installing some threaded screw inserts into the floor of my toy hauler. These will be used for fork mounts for 2 road bicycles. So, nothing heavy or anyth...

I did something similar in my last TH but it was for a Gold Wing so much heavier.
I drilled through the floor and the outer upper flange of the frame. Then uses speed nuts clipped over the frame so the threaded part was below the flange. I then "mounted" some aluminum angle on top of the floor with eyebolts through the angle and into the speed nuts. This gave me a solid through frame mount for the angle (in your case board) as well as a tie down point. Simple to install/remove using the eyebolts. If you're concerned about the open hole through the floor use some plastic plugs to fill the holes, you can buy white, brown, black Lowes.
Sounds cool. I have the big D-rings already installed, but they aren't where I need them, and I'm not sure how to do a fork mount with those. I think filling the empty threaded insert them with a plastic plug, or putting the screw back in with a rubber washer of some sort would be good too.
Are the D rings bolted through the frame? If so can you remove them and reuse that hole/thread? I needed four, two were this condition and I added two.
