Well we got most of this "fixed". As expected, most of the screws all the way around were broke off. Not sure why the coach did not fall off on the road!! That duct work was a real project but we got some duct material like they use residential(it is foam stuff covered with foil) and a roll of reinforced foil tape from the local HVAC place. Removed the bumper which needed brackets reattached anyway, and was able to get at the ductwork as far up as it was bad. cut this stuff into shape and rebuilt the duct and covered it all with this tape.
Someone must of had a blowout with this as the storage compartment behind rear tire passenger side is partially caved in and has sprung open the seams in the basement about half way across opening it up for dirt, etc to enter. Even gravel in there. We were able to bull it back in and screw it back together again, with liberal application of the good caulk and some light angle iron. Part was sprung so bad I finally ran the jacks down, put a 2x4 under the bad bent part, and let pressure off the jacks a bit to spring it back into place. Not exactly a Factory Fix but we got it closed up for now. Will have to cut off that compartment next summer and rebuild it.
They was an inspection plate missing on the side of that compartment also, got that sealed too. Had professionals come in and try to clean the carpet & ceiling. They could not get all the soot/smoke residue out of the ceiling and we finally decided to replace all the flooring.
I will post a "How to get old carpet off the slide" when we get done.
Thanks to all for the tips!
