You are right about the old ply used by Westfalia, it is not as nice as the new stuff I am talking about above, but is waaaay better than ordinary plywood or particle bd. Coincidently, Westfalia's old ply was much better than any of the American camper kits such as EZ Camper, Sundial, etc. Tom Buese |
