I'm out in all weather, will have waders hanging over a bin... No pets.
1 mat type such as loncoin
2 plywood- if you like this then how many anchors should I plan on?
3 Carpet
4 other
Building a wood bed frame with storage below, deciding if I need corner anchors to keep that in place (which may point towards plywood flooring- hmmmm may have answered my own question!)

I used this for flooring...comes in a handful of colors........
Decko Dot Black Closeout
It's working out fine.....although I've found two downsides...
It's a little tough on the knees when crawling around in shorts, and I have a few places where the dots have been scaped off from heavy things sliding...still looks very good though.
Annie: Since you have a window van, you can easily fasten your floor to the van floor with a few of the holes from where the seats bolted in. For the rest of the seat holes, I bought a box of set screws and screwed them in the unused holes after applying RTV to the threads to help seal them.
I used 1/2" baltic birch ply for the floor and contact cement to glue the decko dot down....with furring strips to keep the floor slightly above the ribs in the van floor.
real baltic birch is available in 5x5' sheets (and 4x8 in some thicknesses); using 5X5' sheets ends up with less seams than 4X8.
