Bill Lampkin:
Try Peterson cat in Redding CA or Medford ore they fixed our blown hose 2 yrs ago. They also added two chafed guards to protect the hose.

Dan Johnson:
Looks like all posters had rigs made post 2002. Does line failure happen on pre 2002 also.

David T. Richelderfer:
As far as I know, all the hoses on our coach were original to its manufacture date - 2003.  A few years back, we had a coolant hose with a small leak.  It was replaced in Las Vegas.  I had planned to get all the hoses (oil, coolant, air boots, etc.) inspected then, but forgot to schedule it.  My guess is that exposed hoses should be inspected every five years or so, and replaced at 15 years just because they're old.

In my prior message on this thread, the tech's total mileage was 282; Payette is about 86 miles from Jordan Valley.  At $2.50 per mile; that's nearly $700 for all the miles.  The labor charge was $175 per hour for 7.5 hours... 5 of those 7.5 hours were travel time!

As I said, get out the credit card!

Bill Heffernan:
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Post my post, I determined that it was a coolant line, even though it appeared to be coming from a hydraulic line. We networked around in the area and got PJ from PJ Family Truck Repair to come out. He was awesome, and got us back up and running in about 4 hours. As has been mentioned by others, he recommended having all our hoses replaced given the age of the coach. I'll need to explore having that done when we get back home.
