hey guys: I have a question and I wonder if someone can help me out. I am planning on getting a toy hauler, however it does not have the eye rings on the floor to secure the bikes. Does anyone have any method that may work? Maybe drill through the floor and bolt on a an eye ring or something??? I am not good with these things. Any help would be appreciatted.

Inset Rings will probably require a router to be done right, unless you're good with a chisel  |

a bunch of samples here (did a google search on trailer tie down rings): http://shop.easternmarine.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=catalog.catalog&categoryID=235I use these: http://www.dyersonline.com/p-1280-ancra-tie-down-anchor.aspxHard to tell from the picture, but one part is permenantly bolted down, and the ring has a spring release/slide so you can remove it from the floor and use it somewhere else. they weren't cheap, but they work great, you can put the base all over your deck, and slip on the rings only in the places you need it...easy to relocate for different loading configurations. The bolts go through the floor, with nuts/washers on the bottom...I went the extra effort and made sure I installed them at the location of the metal cross members of my trailer so they had a good solid attachment point (rather than just through the wood decking of the trailer). |

Make sure you attach to a SECURE base or you may find a quad ricocheting around inside your toy-hauler!  Those Ancra anchors are the sh*t! Great idea. |

Are you buying this trailer new? When I ordered my enclosed car trailer, the dealer asked me how many tie downs I wanted and where, then he put them in. I'd bet your dealer will do the same if you're buying new. Just a thought.

Be careful when you drill as to not drill into wires and hoses.

best to drill from the bottom up (a pain laying under the trailer), that way you can catch the metal cross members. make sure you know what's above you in the trailer. |
