Default installing a flush base for table leg

I'm thinking of installing a flush base for a pedestal table between the front legs of my 97 dodge roadtrek is there any issues with clearances between the doghouse and the floor tub? It's been raining here so I really don't want to crawl under and check.

Word of caution, based on the many screwups I've made over the years.. do not drill any holes until after you crawl under and check! In fact, double check it.
Wait for dryer weather if necessary.

I would agree with N147JK to get under the van and check. I'm attaching a photo from my 1997 PleasureWay built on the Dodge 3500 chassis. I think that this is the area that you're talking about? As you can see, I do have a flush flange for the front table. Rear table flange is, however, not flush. Wish it were.

I did manage to get under yesterday. There seems to be space between 6" in front of where yours is and about 6" behind the opening for the dog house. between your vinyl floor and the line in the carpet seems to be a structural member and the bell for the transmission is in the front part.
I happen to be taking it into the mechanic this weekend anyway so will have them check again anyway.

Yes, it might be unclear from the photo. The "carpet line" is not flush with the vinyl flooring. The floor goes up about 4" higher at that point. The vinyl area is what was "dropped" in the construction of the RV so that the galley area was tall enough for people to stand comfortably. The carpeted area where the seats are is c.4" higher.
