Weird location for d-ring anchors

Yesterday we finished our second shakedown trip with full hookups. Our next trip will be out to the desert dry camping and riding dirt bikes. After we cleaned up from our trip yesterday we decided it was time to load the motorcycles into the garage and see how they fit.

I had a surprise when I looked closely at the garage and the configuration of the floor anchor points. There are nine d-rings, but they are all grouped in the middle of the floor. There aren't any anchors in the far front or rear of the garage. What was Crossroads thinking when they designed the garage? Who anchors their toys like that?

In our old Weekend Warrior I could easily fit five bikes. In this deluxe RV I'm lucky to fit three.

I'm going to have to figure out how to add more d-rings or eye bolts to the garage. It isn't going to be simple since the belly is enclosed and I can't see how the factory anchors are installed. Has anyone else here installed more anchors?

I might install some of these in the beaver tail near the ramp. They should be easy enough to get to. Three of these will give me the anchors I need to secure two bikes back by the ramp.

Maybe a longer piece of l-track at the front of the garage will work too. I'll need to check and see if there are obstructions under the floor (tanks, etc.).

I have 4 of those in my truck along the rails. I will be getting more for the deck of my trailer as well. I love those things!

Oreilly auto parts has those as well...
