I need to drive screws into the floor under the bed in my E19, I assume there’s half inch plywood under the linoleum, am I correct? The last thing I want is pierce something down there.

If I were you I would call Escape and ask about the plywood thickness currently being used. I believe it may have changed over the years. On our early 21 I believe it was 5/8 inch so I used screws 1/2 inch longer than the plywood i was screwing down. But call them to find out for sure and use a drill stop if you are pre drilling holes.

You might be right Dave. I've heard others mention 5/8". I did measure mine when I installed my table base it didn't seem like they were quite 5/8" but you can't go wrong using 1/2" as the target.
I remember some complaints that the factory screws were protruding through the f.g. on the bottom. Hope they stropped doing that although a bit of Proflex on them wouldn't be a biggie. The water tank, not so much.
