He has a 2006 Damon Motorhome. Probably LCI(Lippert). The thing is, Just because you have LCI jacks DOES NOT mean you have LCI hoses. We ran into that same thing 15 years ago with Forest River Motorhomes. We had defective Hoses on a number of motorhomes, Splits but usually aneurism's(large bubbles) That then burst. When we tried to get warranty, thru LCI, they explained that FR and Other OEM's were using another supplier(cheaper) for the Slide and Jack hoses. So, we had to go back to FR and that took a LOT of calling and e mails because FR was trying to go back to THEIR supplier of hoses, which delayed for months getting the parts in to replace. So, the OP needs to make sure which hoses he has. IF LCI, then go back and order from LCI. LCI hoses are pretty reliable. IF he can find a local Hydraulic hose maker, I would go thru them. You just need to make sure they have the correct steel hose ends. Early LCI jacks used O rings instead of a flare fitting. If he has Flare fittings, that will make it easier for a local maker to get him his hoses. If he has HWH, then ALL HWH are flare fittings. AS others mentioned, HWH will usually have an AP number designating the length or even a taped on the end stating the length. Doug
If he has Powergear, LCI is also the hose supplier now.
