CO Sensor...beep,beep,beep at 3AM
The last two nights we've been awakened by the carbon monoxide sensor. It's pretty loud. Thankfully, neighbors haven't said anything. I think I got to it both times before it became too much of a prob...

My firsts 2 TT's did that with the Co2 and smoke detectors
I think you mean monoxide, not dioxide detector. A CO2 alarm would be going off as soon as you exhaled in the camper.

This brand of CO Detector has two alarms - one that will make it beep when the coach battery that is powering it is low and one that will start warning you - like yours is - that it is near the end of its life. These have a three to five year lifespan and they need to be replaced when they reach that. There should be a date stamped somewhere on the unit - usually the back of the unit - with the manufacture date. Older models were good for three years. Newer models are good for five. Check the date. If this keeps doing this - replace it. The CO Detector is too important to have a faulty one. You can buy a replacement for $50 to $60 on Amazon or at an RV shop.
I had the RV two years when mine started doing this. When I looked at the date it turns out an old unit was installed.
My wife and I were just talking about this. The manufacturer probably buys a bunch at the same time. Although, it seems kinda weird that they would install a near EOL alarm in a new camper. As I mentioned, it did this the very first night that we brought it home. It was mid Sept. last year and weather was still hotish. Dutchman sport makes an interesting point about whatever chemicals might be still swirling about, especially if it's extra hot, which it has. I'm gonna pull it off.
