The systems looks for >1500 psi pressure on the retract lines to confirm the jacks are up.
The jacks are installed by Winnebago.

Thank you for the input. Much appreciated.

John, I have the F53 spec sheet at home. I'll get it to when I return later today.

This should not be that big a deal. The shop likely didn't get any working psi specs from the dealer when they requested the hose, and just guessed wrong when making it? Absolute worst case, you or the dealer will be paying what should be a very reasonable price for a new hose to be built of higher quality materials. End of problem.
Last thought. Not familiar with this system, but many (most?) hydraulic systems have a built in bypass circuit to handle incidents where maximum system pressure is exceeded. Rather than blowing out the weakest link somewhere in the system, it's designed to pop off, relieving excessive pressure into the low side of the system. If that valve isn't working properly, and isn't relieving excess pressure, maybe this hose is the weak link?

Thank you... I agree the issue of repair is not going to be a big deal. Unfortunately, I am on vacation with the motorhome and will not be able to get it back to my dealership for another week or so. Just trying to find out more about the system and weigh my options.
Again, thanks!

Thanks Al... I briefly looked over the F53 spec sheet and it does not appear to include the hydraulic jacks. Someone else also posted above it was a Winnebago installed option. I don't want you to waste your time.
As always, thanks for the offer. It's nice knowing someone with the same motorhome to compare issues.
Speaking of issues, I'm going to send you a PM about my slide.
John

Wow, you are right. The hydraulic jacks were an option (which Winnebago chose not to get) and from a different manufacturer.

Thanks Al. I sent you a couple photos of the my slide problem to your e-mail address. Let me know your thoughts.

Just replace the hoses and keep track of the other orange hoses. Go to a shop that makes hydraulic hoses and get a good one. My long hose cost about $35 dollars. Installation was a pain but not really difficult. The orange hoses suck and the mfgr knows they suck and still uses them. I replaced 3 on my 2008 FR. Don't wait until the break or you will get to figure out how to get the slides in by hand.
