An extended width motor home construction has a vehicle body having a floor with a longitudinal gap separating the floor into a first body portion and a second body portion. An insert panel traverses the gap. A method of forming an extended width automotive vehicle comprises the steps of: cutting the floor of the vehicle in a longitudinal direction to form a side portion and a center portion; forming a wedge-shape gap between the side portion and the center portion; coupling an insert panel between the side portion and center portion to traverse the gap.
