I wish WeatherTech made a custom mat for the Vanagon. I have the WeatherTech
rubber mats in my non-vanagon car and they're great.
they're great because they are deep and have a nice border that helps keep
mud, water, dirt and stuff off the carpet. WeatherTech only offers and
overpriced cut-to-fit option and with the cutting you lose the deep border
which defeats the whole mat.

When it comes to the Vanagon I'd like some GREAT rubber mats that are custom
fit with a decent border around the edge to hold
in a little water and dirty and mud. I guess WeatherTech doesn't feel
there's enough market for Vanagon mats. (they may be right).

To me the choices we have now are pretty basic--more like mats for when you
wear dress shoes.

I guess the two choices in a rubber mat are the GoWesty mat with the round
indentations and the other mat referred to in this thread as VanCafe mats
with the square indents.
I think most of the vendors that sell mats sell both although VanCafe beats
the price at GoWesty on the "square" mats now with the sale.

Are they're any other style mats out there that fit the bill- like a truck
mat, a camping mat, but not an over the top deep dish mat?

They offer a cut-to-fit option for $99
