OP Here: Now that i've read a bit on this forum, the cause could be low voltage. I've had my powergear leveling system tell me "low voltage" before when i've taken up the leveling jacks from time to time. I'm gonna get a multimeter tomorrow. If it is low voltage, what do I need to do? Replace engine batteries?
First determine if your converter or inverter/charger is indeed working and as long as you'er plugged in to shore power, even a weak battery wouldn't cause this problem. Having said that and assuming that these detectors are fed from the chassis like most, does the engine start OK?
If fed from the house batteries, then again the charger should be keeping them up to par while plugged in and if like mine, the chassis battery also. Try checking voltage both ways on the house batteries. With the neg. cable disconnected and also connected to see if there's a difference.
Just for the record, low voltage will definitely set them off as a safety factor and also the reason they're usually fed from the chassis battery. This battery isn't used when dry camping and not at all likely to run down like the house batteries eventually will with heavy use.
