We have a 2003 diesel on the R4 Monaco chassis with hydraulic brakes.. It has around 58,000 + miles on it.. How long do the flexible brake hoses last that's between the steel lines and the calipers?? Thanks..

If and when you replace them, do not use generic hoses, trust me.

Go to NAPA or the Dealer for the correct part.

Generic hoses will bulge under pressure causing brake pedal to be spongy.

Gee, And I was just about to jump in here and say 10~15 years depending on the environment.

Mine lasted 12 years before they started to swell on the inside which caused the MH to pull to the right when I applied the brakes. They looked OK from the out side.
