I finally solved the "Squeal" problem myself, after the Atwood factory tech and several others in this forum kept telling me it was a motor bearing. Hey, when was the last time a light duty motor with bronze bearings wore out. Duh, almost never. I suspect many motors have been replaced over what should have been a truly simple fix.
The metal retaining clip ring around the hub of the exhaust wheel cage fan broke and allowed the wheel to migrate inward to begin minor contact with the plastic housing. Moved the wheel back out about 1/32" and replaced the ring clip with one that I got from the NAPA Auto Parts store. (RV supply store sells the clip, but with a replacement wheel for $25).
Hope this helps someone else.
