Alarm when connected to power

[McHenry]

This may be very simple, but I’m new to the RV world. When I hook up the battery or plug my camper in, an alarm comes on about a minute later and it’s constant until I disconnect all power. Any ideas what this may be and how I can fix it. Thank you.

Might be your co2/propane detector. It may be expired.

How old is your trailer?
Usually this is the propane sensor that's gone bad. They only last a few years then must be replaced, or do like most and cut the power wire going to it.

Thank you. I will check that.

Welcome Aboard

What year and model do you have?

Honestly from your description I do not have a clue! If I was forced to guess I would guess the CO2/Gas detector. When I plug in shore power I do get a short "Beep". Only things I can think of would be the CO2/gas detector, Inverter, or the Frig. Have you ever, just walked in/around to determine where the sound is coming from?

Edit: 2005, I would go with the CO2/Gas Detector!

I took the propane bottles off to have them refilled, could that have triggered it?

[McHenry]

It’s high pitched and constant. It’s in the main part of the camper in the middle I feel like near the fridge. But it rings in my ears so it’s hard to tell. It gets quieter in the bathroom, bunkhouse, or front bedroom

These sensors only last a few years like I mentioned and yours is way over due. In fact, if you remove the unit, there will be a decal on it with an expiration date.

Look for a square or rectangular white box near the floor, that is normally where the propane/co-2 detector is located.

Thanks guys, That’s what it was. I found it and disconnected it. I’ll be ordering a new one.
