There's a Samba photo of one van with a mirror look on that bunk panel; owner found a Mylar sheet or something that looks very cool. I think it's in the "plenum" thread.

One by one my usual sources for vinyl have closed or burned down, so I was thinking I'd just go online and order a yard of the original for the underside of the rear top bunk. Now I can even find that.
