My coach had two sizes, so I took a piece of each to Advance and said "Gimme three feet of this and two feet of that". Replaced them one at a time so I didn't get confused... although the maintenance manual has a pretty good diagram.

Vincent,

If you are actually working on a '73 GMC, you have come to the right place.

Welcome to the group, family, cult, asylum.....

Do you know the Big difference between a Boat and an RV??
Water can leak out of an RV.

I am a lifelong waterman and we have many other boaters here. We also have more than a few in Florida.

You will find a treasure trove of in formation at http://www.bdub.net/GMCLinks.html, and while there, please look up the registry and get get your coach logged in so we know where she is.

Please come back and tell us more about your coach. Yes we are a crazy here as any other serious boat owners.

Matt

The parts manual shows the size of many -- but you have to look at several sections to find them -- for example, the hoses for the cruise control are in that section. The lengths are shown for a few but most just show CTL - cut to length.
If you don't have a parts book -- go to bdub.net and look under manuals.
