I just layed wood floor at my house and had about 1000 sq ft of burbur
carpet, although I did not use all of it in the van, I put down a thin
sheet of plywood, 1/2", and then padding and carpet.  Secured the whole
thing with gold carpet strips from home depot.  It turned out great and it
is soft on the tootsies!!
