I am sure the sources and part numbers are somewhere, but I can't find them so far. So I'll just ask:
I am looking to replace my radiator and other cooling hoses. Much of my rubber stuff is cracked and looking like it's seen better days. The hose from the radiator to the water pump is one of those universal, wavy shaped ones. Can you fellows suggest a supplier and even better, part numbers for silicone hoses? ebay has them but mostly for Japanese cars. Thanks

Look here for hoses -- but they are not silicone.

Be careful with silicone hoses. The have almost no tear resistance. I would use modern rubber hoses with the electrochemical barrier layer. Change them every 7 years tops and you won't be stranded.

You would be better off sticking with the good grade of automotive hoses for you coach. I have the High Temperature coolant hoses that are made out of Silicone rubber. It does work well and as warned it can tear under the right conditions
It is prohibitively expensive to purchase as the 2 Sizes that are use in the coach, 5/8 and 3/4 hose cost just under $14 per Ft.
