    I want to install my fridge slide (60 Quart Norcold) in the rear of my vehicle. What I want to know is, can I just carefully drill four holes in the floor of the storage area and use Riv-Nutz or is there something right under the floor that I might puncture. I would only be drilling about 1.5...
