I want to run E track to hook 2x4 hangers into and then create my bed. I've read a few posts about E track but they wander off to L track discussions. The E track is like 5" wide (high) so I'm not sure how I would attached to ribs that run horizontally at waist height as they would be wider than the ribs. Have found a few tantalizing photos of E track installed in Promasters but can't get zoom in for enough detail to understand how it's done. Anybody done it or have any advice? If I just attached it to 1/2" ply lining would it be secure enough or would it still have to be secured to the ribs also, through the ply? In trailer builds I have seen E track attached to the ply which looks totally straightforward, but I don't know if that's a thicker ply or if all/some of the bolts go through to ribs on the other side.

My son just bought a Sprinter Crew new from the dealer, but already outfitted with two levels of E-track, neither of which is at the waist. It is attached to the ribs, where available, with rivnuts. Otherwise, it is bolted to steel bars that span the open spaces and that are themselves attached to the body with rivnuts.
In yours, though, there won't be any force pulling inward away from the wall, but the stress is going to be downward, thus stressing the top side of the attachments. I would bolt the top of the E-track through the 1/2" ply into the metal rib.
