leaking hoses rear heater

i have a major leak at rear of 2011 sunseeker 2650 E450. i have water from dripping onto tires and coming from under shower. i discovered two hoses running from engine area along frame through floor above tires and into somewhat of a heater below shower. i would like some advice on how to install new hoses from motor(where) to rear. also concerned that one pipe has pipe insulation on it (airconditioning?) what type of hose (Pex?) and whether to disconnect heater and put "ushaped" connection on hoses and forget heater. we don't use rear heat but want to maintain resale value. any advice would be appreciated.

Hoses insulated

Thx for your comments. The first pic is of hoses with out insulation. The other pics show the hoses that have pipe insulation wrapped around them from the rear entry to about the front middle of the mhome. I will get to auto parts place to see if their hoses are the same type.

Leak

If it is just a water line, you should be able to get a straight piece of irrigation line connector from Tractor Supply and some refrigeration hose clamps. They have these up to 2& 1/2". They have barbs on each end of the connector, quick fix to get home.

leaking hoses rear heater

thanks for all the help. i originally thought that it might be the rear heater/air and the hoses might be for air conditioning. We never turned on the unit so had no idea what was it's purpose. After receiving your comments, i realized what type the hoses were. I removed the hoses from the heater and discovered both hoses had leaks due to the vibration of the mhome while travelling. i installed new hoses and now on the road again. thanks very much.
