I think the weird thing is there are 2 to 4 bolt holes around the larger hole. This make me think in a different model that panel is used differently and something bolted through it. I would just get a sheet of steel from somewhere maybe even Home Depot and bolt it over the hole. although that would leave bumps from the bolt heads. You could probably just duct tape the parch down as the carpet and padding will hold it down once installed.

I have been wondering if that hole had something to do with a tranny. Maybe for a stick shift.


That would totally make sense... not [emoticon]

The hole is right inline with the brake pedal, not where a shifter would be if there were such a thing as a newer manual transmission class A motorhome. I agree with Doug (an expert RV tech) that it's some type of access hole for repair or maintenance. Covering it isn't a bad idea, as long as the cover is easily removable.

there was a metal plate with a 4 inch hole in it...It had always been hot or cold by my feet and I could not figure out why, now I know.
Meh, if it's obvious that it has nothing to do with anything else down there, I'd just get a thin aluminum sheet from Home Depot, ~$14 or so, cut and drill it to size, and use sheet metal screws to secure it to the floor - Job Done!
