Possible source for bellypan material

This weekend I took the kids camping not too far away. I noticed the underside of the trailer is lined with a huge sheet of flexible but tough black plastic. Maybe one could go to the junkyard and strip one off a junked camper for a few bucks.

Just remember,the trailer has no "heat source",so you might have to shield it near the exhaust system,or use sheetmetal in those areas,otherwise you'd think it the perfect material if it's already working on the trailer.I'd say "definitely go for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
