Brake Problem Still ... I'm getting pretty discouraged...Hoping to take it camping for a week in just two days! 200

You didn't press the pedal with the MC removed I hope? There is a warning in the manual about that, as it can damage the booster.
Did you use fresh fluid all the time when bleeding? I know if you are repeating the whole operation the fluid looks new and it seems a shame not to re-use it, but it will contain dissolved air or tiny bubbles and needs to stand in an air-tight container for 24 hours first. Otherwise you end up circulating aerated fluid through the whole system. Just thought I'd mention, in case.
Having just used a pressure bleeder for the first time I'd never go back to the old way again. Apart from being much easier to be sure you have expelled the air, I found I didn't need to bother about getting the sequence right - I just did each wheel in turn.

Good luck
