Another good idea might be:

Get some PVC or HTPE piping in various diameters and 4 -6" in length to use as joiners in an emergency when a hose blows. This way you can cut through the rip and place a joiner in it's place to finish up your road trip with less stress.

Then call the appropriate vendors for the hoses needed. I have used this method in other vehicles in the past and only needed to implement it once.
