I had that happen sometimes. I would stop,pull up the knob for parking brake, then push knob down to release the brake and then the alarm would stop.
This sounds like the common Monaco problem of a failing parking brake pressure switch. The switch is manufactured by Nason, and is mounted on the bottom of the knob for the parking brake.
You can probably find additional info on the Monaco Owners forum on the IRV2 site. Some of the posts I saw there had the switch priced at $46 from Monaco.

Ding Ding Ding!!!! We have a winner!! Fred was correct. It turned out to be the air brake sensor on the bottom of the park brake knob assembly. It is made by Nason. The guys on iRV2 forum diagnosed it fairly quickly. Some had the same issue in the past. I took the screws out of the burled wood switch panel by the drivers seat and pulled it straight up. When I could see the sensor on the bottom of the air brake knob assembly I hit it with a 12' adjustable wrench a few times and the beeping stopped! It worked fine for a while but in the middle of my 9 hour trip home I hit a large pot hole and the EXTREMELY LOUD beeping started again! Scared the **** out of me at first. lol. I pulled off the road and hit it with the wrench again and it stopped beeping at me again. It stayed off the rest of the trip home. Looks like I'll have to find one of these switches somewhere. Any suggestions? I was told the part number for a 2006 Holiday Rambler Ambassador class A diesel pusher is SM-1C-66R/WP28. Can anyone confirm this or do you know where I can buy one?
Thanks!
