I need to install a new tie down in my Octane 161 toy hauler. I am not sure if I can secure the new tie down to the frame because of the tanks.
Has anyone installed a new tie down, and how did you do it?
Thanks

I did on mine but it was at the exterior and my frame is exposed. I drilled through the floor and frame and used a "speed nut" slipped over the top flange of the frame so I can thread it in from the top, secures the rack I built for hauling my dirt bikes. If you need a tie down in the middle of the floor, above the tanks you'll have to do something different, whatever you do DON'T just lag it into the plywood floor. If you can be certain to hit a cross piece you could use self tapping metal screws but that's hard to do if you can't see it.
