Them there bubbles are full of oil.
Sounds like bull to me. Like I said power gear will be a deal breaker for me right down to their steps.

Not to stray from original post,but Lippert has same problem.Our 13 BayHill 5vr was 1 week off warranty when I noticed a clicking noise after setting up.found line to front jack had bubble on it.I wrapped a rag & duct tape orotund it so not to spray the coparment when it blew.Fortuntly they still functioned without a major leak & was the last night of our trip home.i had new one made at local shop, when putting new one on noticed another had loose skin with film of oil under"so another trip to hyd.shop.I contacted BayHill,no problem send pictures & receipts & we will reemburse you.only to find out the warranty rep I talked to was no longer employed there 2 weeks later when I did follow upcall.So I just wrote off my $40.00 for 2 hoses.probably what they were hoping I woulld do.
New hoses from hydraulic shop are much better quality.No more problems until the rear has problem.

For what it's worth I had the same issue with the HWH system in my last coach.
