A few years ago I did the inside walls of my Westy with a polyethylene backed, self adhesive bitumen based roofing product. I don't recall the trade name (I may have posted it in the archives). It was less than 1/8" thick but you could lay on as many layers as you wanted. A roll (like roofing felt) cost me Ca$80. Didn't make any effort to totally cover body panels. It worked well for sound absorption.
