2022 XLR 25LRLE flooring question

I’ve looked around but haven’t found the answer.
What flooring is used in the construction of the floors of my 22’ Micro Boost XLR 25LRLE? The cargo area says it has a 2000lb capacity, which is ok for my 1500lb Rzr, but I don’t like the tie down locations.
I’d like to put more tie downs or E Track down, but can’t find anything on what the floors are made from.
I’d get under and look, but I have the plastic covers underneath I’d rather not pull off until I’m ready to put the tie downs in.
If anyone knows how the floors are constructed in these toy haulers, I’d love to hear anything you know.

Welcome to the forum its a great place to get your questions answered. the actual makeup of the floor doesn't have much bearing on the tie downs. If you are going to use a traditional tie down you want to thru bolt with large fender washer on the underside and I recommend a nylock nut. I'm a real fan of E track and over the tire straps (that's what I use on my RZR trailer) each 5' section has sixty fasteners 30 a side use 1.25 sheet rock screws the heads fit almost flush and the track will not move. Saves removing the coroplast to install tie downs, you can also use E track on the sidewalls to secure equipment like what is done in the trucking industry. JMHO

Thanks for the response. I’ll probably end up putting E track down eventually, but I still would want to know what I’m driving the screws into.
I wouldn’t want to puncture any of the holding tanks.
You said you used 1-1/4” long drywall screws? I’ve seen 1/4” dia. lag bolts, but never drywall screws.

Not the same unit but my 2015 20 hsf Th had plywood floors but find the location of the fuel tank first don't want to drill into that . On my unit the chloroplast stopped at the fuel tank and the garage was not enclosed underneith

I found the drywall screw heads are the perfect size to fit almost flush into the E track
