Most of the hydraulic hoses being used for RV leveling jacks are the nylon or synflex and do not use a rubber with a steel braid, they are subject to leaking from kinks, or rubbing through at a sharp edge but overall are a good quality hose, are you sure it was leaking at the crimp or may be the connection, o ring seals are more popular now with the connections an they will fail for different reason, most RVERS do not have the ability to check the pressure of the output of the pump but if the main relief valve sticks or their is a restriction at the relief valve then you will suffer another failure, its not uncommon for a hose to leak at the crimp, lots of reasons, you can get a second hose made at the maximum length your system requires and keep on your rig, if the hose blows on a shorter hose then just coil it up under the frame with a few zip ties and you are good to go, the spare hose will be far cheaper then a service call in the future, plus you will need to keep a couple of quarts of oil handy to refill the system
