I saw someone with 2’x2’ foam tiles trimmed to fit into the van. So we did
that.  Five tiles is all you need. Think out of the box to cut them so that
you don’t end up with any small pieces.

We also have blue dimpled subfloor (Home Depot) trimmed large and folded
upwards to extend and protect a little at the front and back bulkheads. I
LOVE IT.  Waterproof. Soft on the knees. Catches and traps spills. Washes
up with a garden hose.

Ours is blue. This one is green.
