  • BEST FLOOR FOR A MINIVAN.
    I am installing the best floor I've found for a mini van. 2x2 feet 1/2 inch rubber exercise tiles in my minivan. These tiles are the perfect size and fit right down the entire floor leaving only a few inches at the doors. I have put layers of tiles to bring the floor up to level from front to back.
    They serve a multi-purpose function. They add insulation to the floor. They add padding to the floor, and by adding layers you can have a level floor without any significant weight added to the mini van. I put a 4x6 plush carpet on top and it feels wonderful!

    Great idea! I use these foam tiles on the floor in my cabin kitchen. It's made a big difference in how warm the kitchen stays and how warm my feet stay in there during the winter months when we get -30C on a regular basis! Your van looks so cute! Love that it is red, my favourite colour!

    I gotta live in my van soon. Health is failing in the city. I'm gonna travel Oregon with my dog as soon as it warms up to reclaimed my health, meditate and pray. All the back seats are out. There's metal where they hook in. I need to carpet it all off. Was thinking a carpet runner industrial floor mat. Then my dog won't break her leg in the deep holes and we can put a bed back there. Are the mats toxic? Should I be good? Maybe this on top to bed safe. Then a bed. Thanks so much.

      I pray that your move into your van will be God’s will for you and that you will heal. I’ve heard a lot of stories from people who were ill; moved into the van life and did just that. I used Several layers of the foam mats and then carpet on top. Super comfortable and a warm floor as well.

      I don’t use the stove and go my seats are down there. I didn’t remove them from the van. The only seats are removed where are the back ones. I’m single and I don’t need all that storage area. And yes I do vent when I’m cooking inside the van I have fans going and a window open. Thank you for the suggestion on that though.
