Here's a slightly "green" recycling way to go.  I work for a uniform rental
company and we handle MANY rubber floor mats.  Our company is very quality
conscious and is always pulling the older mats out of circulation due to
rips or paint damage, etc.  These damaged or worn out mats are sent back to
the manufacture to be recycled.  If you called your local company and told
them what you would use it for, they might just let them go rather than pay
shipping back to the manufacturer.  These things are thick rubber on the
bottom, tough carpet on top and come in different colors.  Cut one to fit in
the "kitchen" area of the Vanagon - red one - works very well.  I always
pull it out after a camping trip, knock it against a tree, sweet out the
floor area and throw it back in.  Works well!
