I finally got around to installing the replacement carpet I got from the Kieft and Klok guys in theNetherlands I bought there this past August.
So it's not a exact match but not too bad looking at all. Yes, it was finally sunny and spring in Seattle.
It was quite the job as I had to pull some of the cabinets to remove the OEM green carpet.

Yes, and the center piece so it all is matching. I think the carpet is better quality than the stock carpet. I have a sisal mat that is always on the front too protect it.
On a camper I don't get the cheap wood flooring it seems like everyone does first thing. Carpeting is so nice on the floor.

Re: Kieft and Klok carpet for Westy's
I don't have direct experience with the carpeting that came in the later Westy's; but to me, the laminate floor in the early style is nice because you can easily sweep it out and it won't hold moisture. A previous owner had put carpet in ours (over a nice original floor) and I took it out because it would get musty from condensation near the icebox or even on a damp morning. Haven't looked back.
