Hi,

my friend Stephen here in town did something similar to his '82 westy.
He used a "carpet-like" material that he first saw on the interior hull
of a sailboat. Its designed for that purpose, insulation and a decent
look.

It looks quite good, I have no measure or reports of how warmer it is
however.
