  I have one of those in my van's "living area" too.  Found it outside
industrial park unit, I guess they changed tenants and were changing the
mats, too.  Those are execllent inside the van.  You can toss a piece
outside and have a "yard", too if you are camping in rocks or sand.

  Good stuff, that.
