Default Front row floor mats?

Does anybody make a big single piece front floor mat? My van is a 2004 Express 3500 which was converted into a Class B Motorhome by Roadtrek. The floor is cut and dropped behind the front seats so I just need a big floor mat for the front row. I'm also uncertain as to whether these are factory seat bases. There is a swivel between the base and the seat so that you can turn the seats around but I don't think Roadtrek would have made entirely new seat bases?
Cheers, Steve

Here at Princess Auto they sell three different types of rubber off a roll. They charge you by the foot. It might be from China, it might be Radio Active, but the price is reasonable. Just select the pattern you want and cut it to shape. The stuff they sell is nice and thick. Perhaps a 1/4".

Nice looking van. I have a question for you. Can you reach that power seat switch when the door is closed?

Yes, the switches are reachable but they are just for the lumbar support. The slide and tilt are conventional controls. It's my preference to find something off the shelf at this time, I don't want to have to make a big paper template and carve it out of rubber.

If you ever do... another option is to pull your carpet section out and use it for a template. I imagine it is just like the rubber from the factory.. ... terminating just behind the seats in a "join" with the rear.

I am not having any luck finding a floor mat like I want it. It is kind of weird that they made a van for 20 years and you can only get universal floor mats?

I swung by the dealer today and they indicated that the floor mats for the 2004 were discontinued. I do not know what Part # that was but he opened a 2018 accessory catalog and the part # for the 2018 Express floor mats is 84281891. They looked good but were super expensive so I wrote down the # and it seems they are also discontinued.

Dig a little deeper and find that 19206163 was superseded by 84281891, but they are still available?

Was there a significant change in the floors between 2004 and 2015? I may go for the newer ones and be willing to cut them down a bit. The cost is still quite crazy...

Probably no change, but a part number change.
