That mega van mats carpet stuff is quite reasonably priced I thought and is very easy to work with.
Best off with that bubble foil insulation you already know about too as the sheeps wool or recycled bottle stuff are magnets for holding water from condensation.

They were originally but I'd prefer them not to be and lined with carpet nearly. Will link a pic hang on

They say 1.6m x 2m is enough vinyl to do the flooring. Why you ask Dave?

very over priced for something about to fall to pieces. Also not really relevant to my initial question.

With the flooring, maybe take it up the sides a bit like in a hospital so its easier for cleaning.

That's actually much nicer looking than the equivalent covering on boxed arches I think.
Less room robbed too.
The only downside I can think of is that the arches can't really double up as seats when they're not boxed.

I can see where you're coming from with all this van stuff Nic.
The number of times I could have done with a multi use van over the years is bloody silly.
Just been drooling over this little combo...
Although not a period correct pairing, i'd still live happily ever after with that kind of hardware in my life.
