Your description of Your gas leak has got me to thinking. I have been
through the whole bubble test process myself and never found any leaks,
however I am in the habit of always turning off the gas at the tank when
I am not going to use the coach for any length of time. When I then turn
on the gas it then takes forever to get the fridge to light. This has lead
me to believe that there is a leak and that the line is filing with air
while it sits and the air needs to get expelled before the fridge lights. I
think it is time for me to do a little more investigation. Could you provide
a more detailed description of the manometer you used and how you
connected it to the PG plumbing.

PS Hops this reaches the list, Few of my past posts have gotten there,
I suspect that it due to having a different "Reply" address then my
sending address.

The stuff I found at Grangers worked. Found my air leak although it was so low
that it took a day to go from 120# to 60 It stays on the fittings a long
time, long enough to find small ones. Since it worked on my air system, could
work on gas as well.
