I have bits of that horse stall rubber. (live on a farm , horses etc)
  it is at least 3/4 thick, and heavy rubber.

it looks  like it would be a great heavy duty floor in van...
until... you ... smell ... it

woof!

in the stalls, after hay/woodchips layed down over it, and after some
use by horses :), no smell problem, but the scraps in have in the
workshop still smell so rubbery after 10 years. maybe if i let it
weather outside...

Sounds like a dangerous combination, but anyway, yesterday, I stopped

and tack store. Okay, this is rural northern Arizona, where horses,
cattle,
dogs & RV's rule.
They sell propane, so it took 3.1 gallons to fill my left-side tank, a
little more than normal,
at $2.99 per gallon.
Then into the store for 30# of dog food.
But they also sell these big sheets of heavy dense black material for
horse
stalls and horse trailers.
Looks like something that could be used to deaden sound in a Vanagon,
except
it is about 3/4"
thick and not too flexible. Still, maybe on the flat floor or over the
engine compartment.
