I decided to raise the floor slightly as the van is very tall, it allows me to fit insulation underneath to keep the heat in, and I can sink certain items into it (gas bottles, water tank etc) to save space in the cupboards. I turned planks of 75mm x 15mm on their sides and screwed them to the floor with screw blocks, then laid my insulation between them and screwed 18mm ply ontop of the planks. I reused the ply I removed earlier so only had to buy one sheet. Once it was fully plyed I laid Hardboard on top of the ply to make a smooth layer for my final finish.. vinyl, to be glued onto. The vinyl was bought from Ebay, and as I go through a website called Topcashback.com to shop on ebay, I receive 60% of ebays fees for the sale, as cashback to my bank account. Its a very good site if you shop on the internet as you can get cashback on most purchases just for going through their site.. check it out! 
From start to finish - (I also made a small triangular cutaway in the floor by the side door which will be a step)
I got some ribbed rubber for the step from ebay and some angle aluminium to screw onto the corners of the floor.
