Hi,This morning I opened my trailer to get ready to go on a trip. Suddenly an alarm started beeping. I looked all around and finally found the source, coming from near the bottom of the wall in the seating booth. It is a carbon monoxide and propane alarm. However, the trailer couldn't have carbon monoxide in it, as far as I know, because it has just been sitting in our yard for several weeks. The propane tank is turned off. Does anybody know what the problem could be? Is the alarm defective? Does something in the trailer create carbon monoxide or gas that I don't know about? Thanks.

Couple of possibilities....Low Battery WarningEnd of Life Warning (replace the unit)

Some of them have a flashing LED that has different colors for different issues.Green: NormalRed: Alarmorange or yellow: Detector has reached end of life. Only thing to do is replace it.

Thanks for the quick responses:This is a new 2017 trailer so I doubt if it's an end-of-life issue. It may be a low battery warning. I plugged my house electricity into the trailer (using an adapter of course), but the alarm is still beeping. Maybe it takes a while for the battery to get charged and the beeping to stop.

It runs off your battery circuit. It'll reset after the battery gets some charge. Usually it waits to go off until it knows you're sleeping in there and it's close to 3am.

Low battery or switch needs recycling

Haha, mine at 3am both times! First was low trailer batteries, second was end of lifespan.
