How thick are the floors?

I am installing some tie down rings in the basement storage area. I don't really want to pull the underbelly covering to thru bolt the tie downs. So my question is how thick is the flooring? If I use 1 inch screws I am thinking I should be safe from hitting any lines.

I think it's 7/16 or a 1/2 inch.

I seem to remember them using 5/8" all one piece main floor material. BUT it's OSB..The slides have thinner floor material.
I'd probably use 5/8" or 3/4" at the most. There is no value in going clear through.

Here's a photo of inside the underbelly of my 3150RL shooting forward from atop the grey tank. The particle board on top of the 2" aluminum frame behind the tape measure is the floor of my storage compartment. What my tape measure end is up against is the main flooring as you would enter the fiver. You have 5/8" of particle board sitting on 2" of aluminum tube with maybe another 1/2" or so before you would get into the tank itself. Most all hydraulic lines, water lines, and electrical wiring is crammed over against the street side frame I beam. There's nearly nothing to run into on the curb side. My unit is free and clear of anything under the storage floor about 12" in from each I beam of the main frame other than the grey and black tanks as shown underneath.

Thank you all for the responses.Having a few tie down points across the floor and then on the aluminum frame above allowed me to store and secure the lawn chairs in a vertical position back against the rear wall of the basement. Made a big difference in room.
