Most if not all blocking in the walls of Bigfoot campers is "plywood " that doesn't split, and itis either glued to the fiberglass or in some areas it is plywood blocking that is actually glassed into the skin ,Drill over sized holes "in your mounting plates ( not the fiberglass) then purchase larger d1ameter stainless steel lag bolts 1" 1/2 long be carefull not over tighten.Longer lags may penetrate your bath wall or generator box.You may have to use several washers to keep the unthread part of the bolt from entering the fiberglass & wood>
