Hawk Shell D-Ring mounting

astropuppy said:

I want to mount 4 D-Rings on the driver side shelf to strap a 12v chest refrigerator down. Through bolting the inner (closest to center-line) rings appears easy due to easy access through the storage area under the shelf.

Should I through bolt the outer rings completely through the shelf to underside of the camper or use wood screws and not penetrate the exterior?

I installed several L Track Tie Down points from US Cargo Control in our camper. They are more expensive than a simple D-ring, but have the advantage that you can easily remove the "O" ring attachment piece when you aren't using it. This leaves behind just the smooth, low-profile attachment point.

I installed them on both the interior cabinet walls and through the exterior walls (mostly adjacent to the turnbuckle doors so that I could easily tighten the bolts on the back side). Each attachment point is anchored by 2, 1/4-20 bolts that are secured with a backing plate.
