We've had a few hoses blow over the years. Similar to shown in Foldbak's post, both Grainger and NAPA have 5-part fittings for various sizes of hose that are easy to install with a couple of small adjustable wrenches and can get you functioning again quickly. Just make a clean cut at the rupture and put one side on, then the other, then the connector. I carry one or two of these with me as we travel. On our 2013 3100RL, I had the middle leveler extension line let go when doing auto-level. It seems the "protective" plastic bushing they feed it through at the frame has a sharp edge and wore through the hose. After repairing with the fitting, I put pipe insulation around the hoses everywhere they penetrate the frame. At some point I'll replace the hoses with stronger ones.
