Is there anything wrong with this process? I am a newbie AS'r but I have searched this wonderful forum for weeks and have not seen this procedure done this way. I just wonder why?

Well at 4 a.m. this morning during a temporary "Airstream insomnia" period I realized a couple of "errors of my ways".
Even though I will probably wait to completely remove my belly pan until I have removed the floor there are at least two reasons for doing so.
First and most importantly, I realized that the plywood floor is the main bridge between the frame and shell. I think that putting screws in the floor instead of elevator bolts (which would have to be tightened from underneath) would compromise that bridge. I keep thinking about all the screws that I have seen pull out of low-boy trailer floors.
Second, if I neglected to paint the undersides of the frame it would bug me from now on. I would hate to know that I short cutted this job.
