Forest,
Yep, there was a Laminate under the Wallpaper. I am not really sure when the Wallpaper was installed. I was told that Newell did a refurbish on the Coach at some time in the past but not sure as to the extent. With the quality of Newell's Construction I would think that covering the Bulkheads with a Laminate would be standard practice if for no other reason than simply to insure that they are sealed. Wallpaper would then have been installed afterwards during the construction process.
I would be very cautious about removing anything without doing some sampling or even better yet discuss it with Newell. In our case their records did not go back to 1982 and the Wallpaper was in poor condition anyway so................
