[Rhodes22-list] V-Berth Board materials

[Michael D. Weisner]

Gee Stan, my '91 has luan plywood sections secured in the middle with hinges above the water tank.

The underside of the v-berth cushions are also luan plywood, although there is no formal covering over the foam.

We have to stop living in 1976.  The V berths are fiberglass.
