That's what I have just put in mine! My transit is ply lined so I ordered the rubber matting roll of eBay it's good stuff I just got two cans of carpet like spray glue and stuck it down once my tank goes in this week then I'm looking for plastic lining kit for walls

Im fortunate, when i was looking at vans i found my fiat scudo. The previous owner had it fibreglassed throughout the whole back of van. Think he was setting up as a dog warden but then took quite ill.
Sorry i know that doesnt really help, but i think when i end up replacing van i will probably go down same route and fibre glass floor and partially up sides as well.
However the rubber matt looks a good idea. Might put one in myself, esp b4 i fit the electric motor to reel.

Used the rubber similar to your ebay item for Trafic and trailer works great as long as you seal edges to stop water ingress and to be careful with certain chems, diesel etc as it can obviously attack rubber  ;)  plus you need to include additional weight as its not light !
For our new van we went for fibreglass, took a weekend to lay / coat... soooo much better! the vans are mainly used for pressure washing

fible glass or speedliner if your going to keep the van a long time . we run both and find the both very good and worth the money

Your van floor is waterproof or what we are really talking about is protected against rust so all you need to do is keep it that way.
If you have money too burn then waste it on speedliner, if you want to look after it then cover any of the floor paint that may
get scraped with a rubber mat.
If you want to paint it then you will need a flexible paint such as Protectakote that will take the movement in the floor without
flaking/ cracking.

my new van came as  standard with plastic load liner on the van floor so ive just fitted my tank over that and then got a bit of thick plywood,covered it in plastic pond  liner and fixed my reel to it near the back doors.
price higher/work harder!

Has anyone on the site used the iso flex as a coating in the back of a van ?
