Can anyone tell me how far apart the stringers on the floor of a 4903 are?

And are these load-bearing, other than the floor load itself?

I'd like to put a full-sized shower/bathtub in my Buff, and the idea of sinking it into the floor has come up (no pun intended) to provide plenty of headroom.

Kieth,
The top of the bays is the bottom of the plywood floor. So you can locate all the floor supports by just looking up from inside the bays. Basicaly the bulkheads are the floor stringers. The 'tunnel' is also a floor support. I have a 5 foot long jetted tub in mine. I hated to give up all that space so I have a closet, on rollers in tracks attached to the roof. When I use the tub the closet is rolled back over one of the twin beds.

I know about the construction. My Buff is currently 170 miles away, and I'm just after numbers so that I can start blocking out my plans.
Thanks,
Keith
