For people that want to not go to the metal way, the new rubber hosed
should last 25 years.
if your young and plan on using the coach for 25-35 years, go for the metal
.

Yes, I do not want people to feel that the all steel line is a must.
When I do an Appraisal, on a coach, the metal hose will not add much.
We need to inform owners that the old hoses and rubber components must be
replaced.

Jim,
You will not get any argument from me on that - At All - Ever.
I read a bunch of other RV sites and a thing I see all the time is that someone has bought a 20yo SOB. I runs great, but they want to remodel the interior (and some times repair "a little water damage".
"But Hey, the tires look real good!" Then you hear one blew out.
Then I write all about how the life of any rubber thing is limited and 20 years is all you can hope for at best. They should start by changing out all the rubber parts that they can, including the coolant and brake lines.
Keep it up Jim, the world needs you.
I would love to know what the real service life of Gates Barrier hose is, but now of mine has shown any signs of trouble - yet.

Matt,
I need to reach out to our factory rep and see what he says.
If the regular hose lasted 25 years , I’m assuming the barrier hose should
do the same.
Hope to see you and Mary in LA.
