I replaced all of my hoses last year, I also have hydraulic slides. Went to Pirtek where I got much stronger (higher psi) and better hoses.

On my failure it was after a very hard dip on the highway which pushed the slide out out a bit and ruptured what was probably a bad hose (blew at the pump). The pump ran for hours till I realized what it was doing. The. I learned that the system requires pressure for the pump to turn off.
This year the pump failed because of that failure. Pump is $1000!!!!!
Replace them all now with higher quality hoses and not those from LCI/Lippert!
