It rained most of the weekend, so I did not have time to troubleshoot, last night was my first opportunity.  I had bought a fuel pressure test kit from Amazon, so I wanted to start there with the troubleshooting, however, none of the adapters that came with the kit fit the test port on the fuel...

I'd be tempted to replace it with something like this https://www.amazon.ca/MICTUNING-7-Way-Trailer-Wiring-Junction/dp/B01LZ79I7A/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1528825395&sr=8-3&keywords=trailer+junction+box

A picture of my new to me rig.

I have a Dometic 2612, there are only two buttons on it, an on/off, and the other is an auto/manual button which forces the fridge to run off of propane.  Never actually looked for the manual for it as it's about as simple as an RV fridge gets.

It could be thermal, but the max ambient temperature is 104, and you say the shell is only 102, well within limits(ish). I'd have a look at your incoming connections to make sure they're still tight. 

Is this common across most RV fridges? Sometimes when I'm running the generator to charge batteries in non serviced sites I'll flip it to manual to keep the generator at it's lowest idle to avoid too much noise.

+ 1 on this, I think bathroom facilities can be used as a metric in measuring how well kept a campground is.  It's the kind of thing that shows that whoever is managing it, does so well and cares about details, and that other facets of the campground that you may not immediately notice will be...

Go to an auto glass shop.  Though they will probably send it out to a glass manufacturing company to cut and then temper the glass, so if you can find that company you can skip the middle man.  I broke one of my small windows at the back of the RV, I took apart one of the other identical...

Will do, I'll have time to troubleshoot on the weekend.

Thank you, I was wondering what the baseline vacuum reading should be, I'll test that at the same time as the fuel pressure then.

I may still, and I may change out the cat and the fuel pump for peace of mind as well, but I like to know definitively what a problem is before I start just throwing parts at it.  The previous owners took good care of the RV, and there's been upgrades and evidence of proper repair, so I doubt...

These two options are my prime suspects, I've ordered a fuel pressure test kit as it's the cheapest method of diagnosis that I can think of, if the fuel pressure is low, I'll change out the fuel filter first as I don't know when it would have last been done, if the fuel pressure is still lower...

Do you know of any simple tests I can perform that would help diagnose a bad computer?

I'm not sure as I'm unfamiliar with the early 90's 460 engine, so I have a fairly large knowledge gap, but if it were a bad o2 sensor would it not have the engine light on?  And if it were the computer, would it even run at all?

I'll have a look at it, but I suspect it would be an all or nothing type scenario.
