I have an 06 Dutch Star, and lost vacuum to my controls on the dash. Can anyone give me some advice before crawling around blindly in the dirt looking for a leak?

I'd check the one to your dash AC Evans unit on fire wall and maybe drop the panel off dash and see if any dropped off Evans control.

No need to crawl around in the dirt. The vacuum pump and hoses are on the firewall to the left of the generator. First thing I would check is to see if a hose came loose.

Check the 90* elbows in the vacuum lines.....they are prone to cracking and then leaking.

This is a stand up job when your outside the coach, and don't forget to check the power/fuse for the pump.
