The only thing that I would be wary of is into what, exactly, you drilled the hole for the eye hook. My guess is the metal framing for your basement compartment? For an 85lb dog I would think that if it takes off quickly (after another dog, squirrel, etc.) it could easily rip that eye hook out of the metal, giving you a nice gash leftover. But, I say that not knowing exactly what you drilled into.
As a potential enhancement, I'd get an eye hook bolt that you could bolt on to the frame, which is obviously further in towards the center of the motorcoach. But then, you could use a shorter length of chain/rope that could attach to the frame-mounted eye hook and the other end clip to your existing eye hook for storage while travelling. Then, when you want to tie up your pooch, unclip the end from your existing eye hook, attach to their leash, and you'll be good-to-go. This way you don't have to crawl under the motorcoach to attach the leash to the frame, but you have an easy way to keep the short section secure while travelling or not using it. Just a thought!

After a few dozen RV trips you'll have Ironman dogs that could compete in pulling competitions!
