I've built a lot of things over the years but this one I feel like I'm over engineering this and could use some help.
I am remodeling the kitchen in my teardrop trailer and I need to build a drawer that I can place a oven/stove on that will slide out so I can use it and then slide back in for storage. The oven is 32lbs and the locking slides are rated to 250lbs so I think I'll be ok on that.
But there is a caveat, I can't bolt straight to the floor I have to build up 2" (1.983" to be exact) in order to clear the lip that holds the rear hatch closed.
I made a pic of what I'm talking about making because I think it'll make more sense with a visual aid.
I plan on using a bunch of 6/6 rivets to secure the aluminum, the slides, and the corner brackets too. the angle iron will be welded into a box with 3 straps across the bottom for structural support.
For mounting the corner brackets to the floor they have 6 holes (3 on each side) I was thinking of using 2 wood screws in each corner brace and then one nut/bolt in the 3rd hole or should I just bolt all 3 holes down? The more holes I poke through the floor is the more I have to figure out how to seal it, (BTW what is recommended for that type of sealing?)
