Water leak (again)

Hello everyone!
I thought I'd ask you experienced peeps out there about a water leak issue I'm having again. I take my 5th wheel to the same place for winter/summerizing and the first winter they bypassed the hot water heater to do so. The next year all was well... but a year after that I had a leak in a hose (crimp) that was located in the area of the new bypass. I took it in and was not charged for the "fix". Fast forward a couple years and after about the 2nd time out camping, the same issue arises. It looks under pressure (not drainage pipes). I got a call from the shop that the pipe needs to be re-crimped (duh) and that of course it will be spendy. Is there a pattern here of shoddy work or should I just always expect this type of plumbing to be sub-par? I'm guessing they just don't do very good work but don't want to make this assumption without some insight first. Thanks ahead of time!
