And sorry for the long delay. Somehow I missed your post.

That's ok. In my case, oversight increases with age.

I'm wondering if anyone has considered x-raying a half-shaft for evidence of stress or internal fracture.

I recall using Acetone at full strength to remove the adhesive on our trailer. Acetone is one of the active ingredients (the other is Xylene) in Goo-Gone but at lower dilution rates.

Rostam- Our '88-30P has the Adjust-a-Ride suspension system. In terms of replacement parts, the only Achilles heel is the half-shaft. You might want to do some research on what it would take to get one made. There are a lot of commercial outfits that fabricate driveshafts, etc. I'm sure many in the ...

What parts have you concerned should anything go wrong?

I'm sure you are up to the task!

There are 3 lights underneath the front compartment of our '88 30-P. Each have their own integrated switch. When I removed the entire compartment to fortify its anchoring to the shell, I don't recall seeing more than one 12V wire that entered the compartment from behind the aluminum skin. I conclude...

Interesting design. I would think the belt drive would mitigate some of the vibrational issues with the OEM design. Care to share the make and model of what you bought?

Here is a way to get from square to round. The ceiling collar would have to be bent to conform to the square duct. For $10, I would give it a try. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Master-Flow-4-in-Starting-Collar-Take-Off-DSCF4/100146818 https://www.homedepot.com/p/Master-Flow-4-in-Ceiling-Collar-CC4/100...

How about transition adapters that convert square duct to round, then back again? I would think 4" round duct is more commercially available than the cost of fabricating square.

Many heating and cooling contractors have fabrication shops. I've used them on past projects.
