Mine's a Westy, so the middle section floor is plywood with loose carpet. I
pulled the plywood when I had the kitchen cabinets out, and did all of the
sheet metal between the floor tracks and under the rear seat, and most of
the driver side wall. The stuff I've used is about 1/16" thick gummy rubber
in 36" wide rolls with plastic on one side, and peel off plastic on the
other. It is used around windows and on the roof under shingles in our wet
climate. Very sticky, but only about 1/2 the thickness of the OEM ashpalt
sound deadening pads.

So far, most of my noise is still from my TD engine, and filling the van
with gear is the most effective way of lessening that noise... ;-)
