Can not find A/C leak
Simple thing first you could try is a seal kit for about $10 buck and replace all the seals in the system.

Can not find A/C leak
I'm in the same boat... I've now replaced the evaporator twice, the high side pipe (orfice tube), and Condensor. The only thing leave to replace is the rubber hoses and the compressor...I'm also still chasing a A/C leak too... :banghead:

New Travel Trailer
I did that too... I need a few more can and crawl under it and shoot some more difficult spots and treat some spots and control the rust from starting. :rolleyes:Thing is I've been hanging around a bunch of RV forums... Boy some guys can really spend some money on toys and such. I'm hoping to hear from you and some your ideas that are simple and down home.

Vacuum line size
I went down to the local hardware store and bought a 6 foot length of clear vinyl tubing for the 96 Dodge and replace all the plastic tubing with vinyl tubing... Worked good so far no problems with sucking flat either.

Might kick it up to 5x5 and check again... Even with super cold temp of +6*F starting temp and a high of 33*F fo the day I still pulled 21.6 MPG on my last trip down to Donnelly, ID with the Cummins...Tire size... For every 4 pound of tire your get rid of mean 1 less HP required to push the truck down the road.Tread pattern... Aggressive tread pattern will create up to 20% more drag than a standard street tire.Brakes / Bearing dragging... Are you brakes working properly? Do you have bad wheel bearings?Weight / Cargo... Are you carrying excessive aomunt of junk on the truck that could be left at home or thrown out?Speed... Are you traveling faster than 55 MPH? If you are just going from 55 to 65 MPH will double your wind drag... Then from 65 to 75 MPH your wind drag doubles again (or 4x as much as 55 MPH). Slow Down!Brake usage... Are you following to close slowing down and then accelerating again? Everytime you use your brakes you convert your motion into heat on the rotors then acclerate create more load on the engine to catch up again. Using Cetane boosters or fuel additives... Don't! Cetane booster don't increase MPG actually the reverse it takes away from the MPG because the higher the cetane the lower the BTU's. 2 Cycle oil is a natural cetane REDUCER. ScanGauge II... You might try one. Once you calibrate the SGII you find it a good tool to learn how to get the most MPG's from your truck.More?

Trailer Brake controller
Well basically that brake controller senses the brake pedal and then after that sense the amount of G force and calculates how much braking force (or voltage) to apply to the trailer brakes. With the manual slide pulled over is ther power on the brakes? Is the fuse blown for the controller?

Mechanical FP Gauge - Air in line?
Hex most of use moved away from isolators because the in-accurracy that they produce. Not to mention the scare they will give you when the anti-freeze disappears over time. (Low Fuel Pressure) then you got to remove the isolator test the system to relize the fuel pressure is fine but the isolator had lost its anti-freeze or failed. So the needle valve concept stared years ago with direct plumbing. Diesel fuel is not like gasoline where a simple spark are you have fire. So many people direct plumb there gauge in. Like myself I've been direct plumbed for 8 years now. As for the OP question... Even if air is left in the line the air will slowly disappear... You'll notice nice smooth gauge needle sweeps with a bit of air but as the air disappears the gauge needle will get really snappy and you'll be able to hear the water hammer if you open the needle valve to far.

stumped
Are you actually cranking the engine or just bumping the starter? You must crank the engine for the injection pump to actually pump. Bumping the starter doesn't do any good...
