Got home ok, my repair was successful. The second hose did not have a hole in it after all, but I will fix the bad looking spot in it before we head out again.
Apparently this MH has Atwood rear heat set up that has the two hoses going back to it. I do not have the cooling part of that, just the heater part.
Here is a photo of it all with the two hoses on the right that go under the floor heading to the back somewhere. ( I have not found the heater core for that yet) The metal hose to the left of the repaired rubber hose it was lying on gets really hot. I will arrange to keep them apart now!
Never mind the two grungy air hoses coming down on the right close to the two heater hoses. Those air hoses went to the catalytic converter and got grungy from a previous overheating episode involving them. It is possible that also got to these heater hoses and it has taken months since for one to fail, don't know. Those air hoses are not connected anymore, cat gone.
Anyway, "if you can't take a joke, you shouldn't have joined" and all that. :(
BTW, I could not drive with the doghouse off as planned. My right foot got too hot!
