You might look at something like timbrens or sumo springs if they have an applicable model. This eliminates all the issues with hoses and leaks.
With a pickup, you go from empty running around town to running heavy when the pickup camper or 5er is attached. Having the ability to adjust the capacity of the bags to the load is handy.
With a motorhome, you will always run loaded, so the ability to adjust the airbag pressure really doesn't provide a benefit.

I had a rear air bag replaced on the Allegro about 3 years ago at a Cummins facility. It was about $300 installed. I asked about having the other rear one replaced and they said that they only replace them if they are leaking.
Three years later and the other one is still not leaking. Who knows why one leaked but not the other.

Since you have an AIR SUSPENSION on our DP, you need to look at replacements with the same/another replacement of equal quality air bag.
Are you seeking a parts only cost?
If parts and labor, your location will likely have a big impact on $$.

Going to sell in the next year or so-- no.
A third option is to carry a spare front and rear and wait for a failure (probably on the side of the road).
I have had bags last over 10 years on dump trucks, and end-dumps. Much more severe duty than MH likely to get. When the guy that bought my '95 Pete dismantled it to build the Western Star kit he replaced the bags. 2 out of 4 where original. Over 3 million miles, and a lot of them running 95 PSI to carry the load.
IMHO it's kinda amazing they last as long as they do
