I was just wondering if this material might be good to place over the engine hatch and surrounding areas particularly in a Westfalia to also give a bit more padding for the lower bed. It looks like it might have good sound and vibration insulating qualities. Anyone on the list tried anything like this?
?

For anyone else interested, here's an example of a similar type of 
foam to what I think David refers to. Seems cutting the billets can be 
done, but this stuff is 1/2 in. x 4 ft. x 6 ft sheet......... 
 
for  $68.72     ;)
