Bill, I was faced with the same decision last year and the repair was more costly than the hose from HWH. Mine was the longest hose that blew going to the rear jack. It cost $67 if I remember correctly. I tied string on the old hose and pulled it out leaving the string in place. Then tied the string to the new hose and pulled it back into place. It fit perfectly and took me less than an hr. I would not have been able to snake the new hose over the tanks and though the chassis without using the string actually a strong cord. The end hose ends are a little tight to access but not real difficult. I'm 72 if that helps you at all.
