I can't figure out a beeping noise

About once an hour I hear a single beep coming from the front of my coach. It's a 2014/15 Newmar King Aire.

The beep is coming from the ****pit or generator bay in front of the ****pit. I don't know if it's the generator, Silverleaf system, triptek, GPS or some other system but I'd love to figure this out. Unfortunately, I'm never in the right position when it beeps to determine the exact source.

Any ideas?

Update on edit: The beep lasts for about 1 second and reoccurs every hour and 3 minutes. It is definitely not the refrigerator, not the ceiling smoke detector and not the Generator autostart. No awnings are deployed.

Update #2: It only beeps when the sun is shining and I am plugged into shore power. I'm guessing that it could be a beep that alerts me that the solar controller has finished charging the batteries. Since I'm plugged in, the batteries actually do get fully charged and the solar controller beeps to alert me. This is just a guess.

Update #3: I had a tech in my motorhome when the beep went off. He immediately said it was the Battery Isolation Manager. The other tech agreed and so they replaced the BIM. So far so good. I haven't heard the beep.
