thank you Miguel. It's only by chance that I looked into that duct, since
it's hidden in the pillar not a lot of people had a chance to look at it. I
have 2 more vanagon to look at too. Just in case the air duct is un-usable
I bought at Lowes an aluminum flexible duct 3" diameter and 8" length -
Lambro Semi-rigid flexible Aluminum duct - Product # L301
