22 Precept 34G kitchen sink drain flex hose.

[KTK-JAY]

I have a 2022 Precept 34G. Today as I was closing the passenger side full length slide. I was doing this from inside using the J command panel. I herd a crunching sound coming from under the cabinet where the washer/dryer combo would go. There is a grill on the face of the bottom of this cabinet for the furnace. I removed this grill and saw a gray flexible hose that I think comes from the kitchen sink. It is flexible to allow the slide to go in and out. I watched this hose as the slide went in and out. This hose is kinked and worn from going in and out. As the slide goes in and out the hose gets forced against all the other hoses, wires and the slide it self. The two year old hose is almost worn thru from rubbing against the slide bottom as it moves. I tried to think of a way to stop this damage from happening but there is no room to do anything other then what Jayco has done. Another poor design. I'm still under warranty but it is a huge hassle to get it back to the dealer on the other side of the state. And then wait for them to get to it. I really don't know what they would do different. This hose may last until the warranty runs out which I'm sure is what Jayco hoped for.
