"TriumphGuy"....I've installed the bolt on kind and ones you have to drill the frame. I installed them on my Monaco and had to drill the frame for the rears.
A couple of secrets....I good 1/2" drill motor, (low speed) good quality drills and WD40 while drilling. If you need to lay on your back to do the job, pull a towel up over your chest covering your neck, wear goggles and a hat. This will keep the metal off of your body.
If drilling upward, you can often take a couple of boards and make a lever to put pressure on the drill, rather than trying to hold it yourself (like a drill press).
