I've recently made up my own Stainless Steel braided Oil Cooler hoses using AN quality fittings and hose from Pegasus Racing.
They also sell end cap fittings for pressure testing them.
I bought the -8 set and tested them in my kitchen sink underwater just last night. Worked out great except the end cap from the test kit had a defect on the sealing surface so I'm waiting for a new end cap to be shipped to me and I'll retest them.
I put about 90 psi in them for now and I can see no leaks (air bubbles) other than the end cap so far.
Which begs the question... How high of a pressure do you really need to test for.. I can't see testing to 500 psi if the hose in service will not see over 120.

I seem to recall somewhere being instructed to test for twice the operating pressure.
Which then creates the second question; what IS the operating pressure!?!
If I were a betting man, I would say the brakes on an RV would rarely exceed 500 psi.
I could be wrong...
I dunno?
