Fast Ding Ding Ding Alarm on Ford Chassis
Have a 2016 Tiffin Allegro Open Road on the Ford chassis. Yesterday while pulling grade on I10 in Arizona there was an alarm that sounded with a Ding Ding Ding at a rapid rate of about 1/2 second each...

I figured out what the alarm was when I went to dump my tanks yesterday. Apparently it was either the CO alarm or smoke detector and the sound was bouncing off the front sounding like it was under the dash.
What happened is there was a cheap tack weld on the tail piece extension for the exhaust which brings it out past the body of the vehicle. It fell off and melted a hole in the compartment floor where my water and sewer hook ups are.The hole is the size of a softball. That could have been a disastrous fire if it got any hotter. I sent an email to Tiffin to see if I bring the RV to them they will fix it in warranty. Went to NAPA and ordered a new tail piece section and it will be in Wednesday.
