If I had to guess...what she is referring to as "TUBING" is the dryer exhaust hose (but would this cost $60??), and "the house is oval" is the metal exhaust duct in her wall is oval not round like the exhaust hose.

This connection could be problematic but a good installer would place the hose over the duct and seal it with duct tape.

Houses that have their dryer exhaust rise 12-15 feet and exit on the roof should have this duct work cleaned out every 1-2 years. You would be amazed how much lint accumulates in the metal rise to the roof......Potential fire hazard.
