Hello all, ive recently purchased a false floor for the MUX, will be putting a charger and battery below and would like to attach some tiedowns to it so my fridge doesnt slide around. The gent at the false floor manufacturer said that they use woodserts, which seem to be a threaded insert to screw into. Seems reasonable i guess, add some eyelets and strap the fridge to it. Personnally id prefer straps with a metal eyylet on the bottom that i can screw to the floor, but struggling to find something like this so far. Anyone found anything good for this use that they would be kind enough to share before i go and get the stuff? Id really like the straps to bolt straight into the woodset if possible if anyone has seen anything like this. Heading to the camping shop today to have a bit of a look. Thanks in advance.

Yes, thats it. The fridge is the white Evakool with the big handles, so might need to be d shackles to hold the turnbuckle to those, pull slightly outwards on an angle to the floor and im in.
Sick, thanks to you both,

in my patrol, I bolted down a sheet of ply, then mounted the storage unit to that using small sections of angle.. Takes 10 mins to remove storage or refit.

Have a look for Tee Nuts at the hardware shop. They will allow you to fix anything you like to the floor.
Couldn't attach an image, but a quick google will show you.
I have a similar set up in my tub and just use a pair of pull down straps through a saddle that is screwed to the 8mm ply floor and it is fine.

Cut 2 slots in the floor, thread tie down strap through them, tighten strap. Simplez.
