High pitched "beep, beep, beep" when accelerating...

[okhmbldr]

I recently purchased at 2003 Holiday Rambler Vacationer, workhorse 8.1. It was a bank repo so I knew there would be some problems and repairs, but so far nothing major and I've been able to correct most. But, one thing I haven't figured out yet (there may be more coming):
When I accelerate a high pitched "beep, beep, beep" begins and doesn't stop until I stop. As long as I'm not moving it makes no sound, but as soon as I begin to roll, here comes the beeps.
I have no lights on the dash, so any suggestions? Thanks,

Here is everything you need for the Actia dash: Service manual

Find the beeper and disconnect it.

Update....It's not the leveling jacks.
I drove it yesterday and the beep started and continued while I was moving, stopped, it went away. Then while I was driving and it was beeping, I pressed the mode button and the beep stopped, but....after a few minutes the beep returned, another press of the mode button and it quit, so I'm guessing it's in the dash panel.

At this time I will be parked for about two months, so it won't be moving for a while. (I'm building a new home and sold the old house too quickly so now we're living in the motor home.) When I move in to the new house, I'll figure out the beep. Thanks for all the suggestions.

The Recall on teh dash had to do with the display.

The Power gear and RVA jacks both use a float in the fluid tank to sense "Jacks UP" the float is not centered in the tank so acceleration, which pushes oil to the rear, can cause a "Jacks Down" indication if you are low on fluid.

Thus I support that. next time it happens look at your Jacks Panel.

Also does the ABS light self-test at startup? If the bulb burns out, there's a warning chime for that as well, but I've never heard it, so I don't know what it sounds like.

Sounds like it could be the seatbelt alarm. Maybe a loose wire in the seat base?

Maybe it's a "reverse gear" backup-warning beeper that's wired wrong?

Either that, or you have to stop driving so fast in reverse! 😉

maybe it is an after market motion detector theft alarm that was installed by a previous owner. What you are describing is exactly what will happen if we don't disarm the alarm on our Harley Trike before trailering it. It doesn't alarm unless in motion.

It's not the jack because when I picked it up to drive back to OKC, the jacks were chiming and the beep's were both going off. I filled the jack reservoir and that chime quit.
If I'm stopped, in gear but not moving there is no beep. It just starts when I begin to move and continues as long as I'm moving. If I stop at a light or stop sign the beep stops. I don't remember about reverse, I'll check that later today.

only while 'accelerating'
or continually after you but it in drive
or only when actually moving
what happens if you put i drive or reverse, but don't move
can you hear it outside ? could it be a malfunctioning backup alarm ?

[2chiefsRus]

Maybe the tv antenna down sensor is malfunctioning?

[Matt_Colie]

I do not know a lot about this particular coach, but it could very well be that either one of the jacks is not actually fully retracted or that the switch that confirms that is supposed to indicate this is not correct.

Now all you have to do is find it and fix it.

The Actia dash module had a recall but there have also been a few issues that are known to users. On mine it would occasionally show zero fuel, low oil pressure, etc, which would cause alarms to sound. There really wasn't a problem and the dash was easily reset by using the chassis battery disconnect switch to cut off power to the dash and allow it to reset itself.
You might try the reset procedure for the Actia dash and see if that corrects the issue.

Do you hear the beeps if you are in neutral and increase the throttle?

No, nothing when you reve the engine, just when I begin to move and as long as I'm moving it keeps beeping. Thanks,
