Need advice on wheel chock install

[Mbranscum]

I have a Octane 222 and want to install a Pingle removable wheel chock.

I have no problem drilling holes in my floor to installed it but trouble is I need to install it midway around the front of the sink. I'm guessing the floor in that area has holding tanks under it. I can't see right now because there's an underbelly cover.

The kit comes with machine screws that go in the hole with washers and bolts that attach to the bottom of the floor.

My question is could I just find out how thick the floor is and install wood screws instead so I wouldn't have to try to get around the tanks below?

Thoughts or has anyone actually done this?

Here is the one I bought:
PINGEL® - Removable Wheel Chock, 6-1/2"

I would not install a wheel chock with wood screws and expect it to hold a load in an emergency braking situation.

If you review the installation instructions you will see that they state that the tie downs need to be pulling the wheels forward into the chock. That means that chock needs to be solid and hold the entire force of the bike moving forward into that chock.

The chock is to keep the front wheel in place and keep it from sliding sideways. The straps will hold the bike.

Thanks.

You should have straps pulling forward and backwards on the bike and the wheel chock will secure side to side.

Your bike, your trailer, your money....

don't do it, there are better alternatives. I haul a BMW GS Adventure & haven't put any additional holes in the deck!
