Does anybody know anything about the floors used in Motorhomes?
I ask because I want to fit a different table to my 2015 Adria, and need to fix it to the floor. I was going to bolt it through, but there is a chassis member in the way, so I am thinking about self-tappers, or threaded inserts.
If I drill, and break through the floor I can seal it with mastic where I can get to it, but not where I can’t, for example in the upside-down top-hat section of the chassis.
So to crystallise my thoughts, does anybody have an idea of the likely thickness (not keen on drilling a test hole), and what material? In a mock up I have found a conventional mate machine screw driven into heavy marine ply more than strong enough, but I fear that even though the loads are light they may be too much for lightweight boards.
My very last resort would be to bond the base of the table to the floor, or am I wrong to be reluctant to do that?
Any insight will increase my knowledge 100%, so thanks.
