Yes, I would like to see a Fiat Ducato Hobby Motorhome specialist online, too.
My lovely van is 1991 Hobby 600 and every few years we appear to need a new clutch cable as it suddenly starts to play up after about a few hours drive. A real pain as everything else is wonderful. If I don't find any answers somewhere I will be just be recommending changing the damned thing every few years as mechanics are as baffled as I am.

Sorry to hear you have this problem. A few things maybe to consider. Firstly what make are the cables used? I had a brake cable replaced on my Fiat BRavo and a Borg and Beck cable was used. This ended up coming adrfit and damaging a brand new tyre on its first drive afer fitting. When I looked carefully the cable was only half the thickness of the Fiat part but was fitted by the garage as it was cheaper. It did not fit the brackets on each end very well at all. If your cables were changed in miod journey you may also have non Fiat Parts. I think the Borgand Beck were only 25% of the Fiat price.
Next have a look at your cable and see if water can get into the outer and run down to a low point as this is sure to cause early failure. Have the cables all failed in the same way. Is there an isse=ue with the cable routing. I expect you ahve considered some or all of this but hope it may help.
