That looks like hose from hydraulic tank. If it is from hydraulic tank I would be concerned with it since if it fails you will lose cooling fan control and power steering.

That hose is toast. I would not trust it at all.

I would definitely change it and check all the other hoses as well.
For a 2017 that hose didn't last long.

Also, how old are the belts ? The serpentine looks pretty polished on the back. Hard to tell in the pics.

Thanks for pointing out it is not a radiator hose. Sadly I can't edit my title to fix that so my lack of good observation skills will be a bit to obvious!

As already mentioned, it’s your hydraulic hose and it needs to be replaced. If you haven’t already done it I’d change the fluid, internal and external filters while changing the hose(s). Wouldn’t leave without doing this.
I don’t understand it. I’ve got a 2017 and my hoses still look new. I just looked over everything in my engine bay and the only thing I had to change was the AC belt.

Is Spartan the best place to order these hoses? or are they something you can get at a truck repair place? Figure first thing I will do is get one
Thanks
Van

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a hose with that type of wear on a 2017 Coach. If mine, I would change.

low pressure suction hose, any NAPA or the like can cut one for you. most independent auto parts places can fab one up as well.
weird bend radius may have helped the cracking, try going a bit longer with a less abrupt bend or
put in a 45 degree elbow fitting to lessen the hard radius bend
the aircraft tech in me is cringing at that hose

Yes, suction hose. No pressure, no hurry, but replace it soon.

Looks like you already moved the filter from the bottom of the tank - thats good. Changing that fluid can be a slippery mess, if you change, be prepared for several gallons of fluid to drain and replace, and that filter gasket gave me fits on one of my changes - will not use the Zunga? filter anymore. I need to check my hydraulic hoses too.
