TRS plate in toy hauler

I am preparing myself mentally to drill holes in my pristine toyhauler floor for TRS plate (s).

That said, aside from confirming that I don't drill into the water tanks, what do you all do to "seal" the holes once you've drilled and prior to bolting the plates in.

This may seem like overkill, but the trailer is in really good condition and we got it for a song. I don't want to trash it by creating a potential leak or weak spot etc.

Real world input appreciated.

thanks

I'm going to PM you

 

Gracias

 

That is precious.

 

Yep - I always add that with some hope.

 

Oh and be careful what that xrated guy tells you, he is old and gets confused at times..... (j/k, he is a standup person)

 

Dammit, I wish I could disagree with your comment about being old and confused....but I can't. So, since I'm a "stand up" guy, I think I'll just sit down and think about it.

 

Any polysulfide caulk NO SILICONE!!!! Ever!!!!

Then spray undercoating on everything, snowbird

 

mine has glass wool insulation under the subfloor, that covered with tarp. the right way to do it is to get the trs plate bolts into the joists, not the open floor. (will require different screws).

fixed ta trs install where the R6 tilted (@Barber) on teh exact same one. we cut into the tarp, went through the glass wool, then added a plate and washers. then taped up the tarp again.

 

can be tested with a safety wire drill or a stud finder

 

If the floor can hold these Pigs up Anything will work!!

 

How wide is that trailer? if u dont mind me asking.

 

8.5

 

Thanks i appriciate it i think thats what mine is not sure im gonna go check later but if do nice to know thats what i can do.

 

If you don't have fenders more than likely its a 8.5... Nice to be able to walk past the bikes too with plenty of room....

 

Shit just remembered i dont have fenders but i do have those beds on the wall on a track that folds down.I dont use them thats why i forgot but looks like they might have to come out bikes are way more impotant then somebody else being comfortable my bed is up front so im good.

 

Phil - explain “tarp” part of this? Did you lay the tarp down to keep insulation contained or as seal of some sort?
