Warning beep in park?

I've had my 3011DS parked for a couple months. When I went over to start it and check systems it made the warning beep like when you put in gear with the bumps out, awning out, or leveling legs down. None of this was the case and it hasn't been moved since I last started it and then it was fine. Could it simply be due to rain or a critter?

Not familiar with your rig, but............

Are there any lights flashing on your control panel for the slides and jacks?
Which brand of lift/slide system do you have?
Suspecting rain or critters is opening a possibility of troubles you can't imagine.
Let's try another route to help.

Check your hydraulic jacks, they often creep down over time. It only takes a fraction of an inch on one of them to cause the limit switch to activate. However you should see that all jacks are not up on the control box. If not hit emergency retract anyway to make sure it's not the cause.

random, my Berk does the same after being parked for two weeks. It's the jacks, just hit retract and all alarms will turn off. Like stated they will creep down a bit while not in use and it doesn't take much to get the alarms to sound off. Nothing to worry about.
