Subj: did Westfalia-Werke use recycled  wallboard for subfloors??? bizarre
findings...

i have parted out numerous westys over the years, and i dont usually take
the plywood subfloor.. because they usually dont go bad, and people usually
want something else like pergo or wood or whatever..  but on the few i
have saved, i have noticed that the underside of the subfloor often has
contact paper on it...like what you would put on  the surface if it were
exposed... but this side was turned down..  anyway i didn't think much of  it..
So this weekend a buddy of mine just pulled the westy interior and
subfloor out of his '83.5 westy....it had never been removed  before..   and on the
bottom of the plywood subfloor was contact  paper with a strange buffalo
bill cowboy pattern on it..   no  joke..     anyone else come across this
before?   im thinking that Westfalia-Werke used recycled wallboard  paneling
for their subfloors   definitely  bizarre..
