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...

NICE! In a similar use case to the one I'm suggesting? Those are precisely the ones I was looking at.

That’s what I used in my unit. I have 6 of them in the floor. My wheel chock is bolted to a 3x4 sheet of 3/4 plywood. I bolt the plywood to the inserts. This way I can just unbolt and remove the plywood and then I have a smooth clean floor.
I use them in conjunction with straps to the D rings. This way they only really are used to hold the bike in the chock until I get the straps on and tightened down. After the straps are on there is no real strain on the inserts.
Been using this method for 4 years, they’re still as tight and solid in the wood as the day I inserted them.
I won’t be back to the unit for another week, but if you want photos of my setup just message me an email, I can send them next time I’m at the unit.
