hydraulic hose issues for slide outs

2007 Keystone Challenger 29 RPK....scenario...5th wheel in a 15' wide covered RV bay against a garage, parked semi permanently while building a home. The black water tank T handle broke off and while attempting to replace the cable/valve, I blew a hydraulic line to the slide outs. I had to cut the under belly coroplast to access the valve and to drain the spilled oil ( the valve is dead center middle of unit) but I am struggling to see where the connections/runs are for the hydraulic lines. I am trying to minimize the cutting or damage to the belly lining. Does anyone have a clear idea ( or better yet, a hydraulic line schematic) that could be shared to help me determine where I may need to open the belly liner to access the connections/fittings?

Welcome to the forum

First off there are no schematics for public view. That said, you will need to either use the tools and fittings made for high pressure hydraulic hoses, or remove the hose for repair/replacement.

If your going to remove the hose, just unscrew one side of the underbelly do you can trace the route of the hose. Sorry, but I don’t know of any simple way to fix your issue.

Yeah, I would not cut the coroplast because I think the integrity of the material is important ( I’m sure plenty of folks have made cuts with no issues). It’s so easy to remove though that I don’t see the need to cut it. I will say I have never removed it all the way because I’m worried I won’t be able to get the screw holes lined up again. I remove what I need to get to the work site and tuck the coroplast out of the way. When the repair is finished the holes align for quick reattachment.

Alas, I am not the original purchaser and the unit has had other repairs. I did cut the coroplast for the black water tank valve and cable replacement but was able to replace all in the original location and used a great tape from the a local RV repair. I have found the routing of the hydraulic lines and was able get at the fittings for hose replacement by unbolting one side ( a few items in the way but manageable. Thanks for the help and encouragement.
