Hi,

Here's a glimpse at our passenger-area flooring:

http://www.sdmcriders.org/Oddstray/westy/screen/lower1.html

There are nine sections of 1" thick foam flooring.  Sold with 'train
town' image at Home Depot.  Easily cut to fit the floor of the Westy.
Easy to clean.  Easy to remove whenever we might need to.  Cheerful to
look at (though, we do cover ours with an additional layer of indoor/
outdoor carpeting because it makes B's old knees less cranky when she
kneels on it).

B&S
