Hello we have an Avalon Newport Bay (Avanti PI), 2001 manufacture date.

It works great but I believe the incorrect hose was installed at some point during its life, the end where the hose connects to the blower (?) eventually burns off and the auger motor stops working, it happens about once or twice per winter, I'm just clipping off the burnt section of hose and reinstalling but I was curious what the proper type of hose I should be using, the current one looks like clear PVC (photo attached).

I don't have your stove but most stoves require a high heat silicon rubber hose, not the clear hose you show in the photo. I'm surprised you get the amount of time that you do from it. Try looking for something with a high heat rating.
