Threaded screw inserts

[prepilot_3ck]

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 anything.

The idea would be to install 3 or 4 of these into the floor, then screw a board down to those. The board will have my fork mounts on them. That way I can move the fork mounts around without drilling more holes in my floor. Then I can also remove the board when I don't want to have it, just leaving a few threaded holes that I can easily cap when not in use.

Does anyone have an experience doing this with their toy hauler? Any advice?

You would need to know how much 'power' the inserts have. You may need more of them than you think. Also check under floor to be certain you don't drill into something important. You may have thought of this and other things, just the first few that come to my mind. (my gas tank is under the floor)

Have no experience with your application but sounds like you’re looking for Thread-serts

no experience but thinking off the top about the forces exerted on those inserts while underway. Will they hold up? Can the board be larger so the load is spread over more inserts? Just food for thought.
