Anyone heard a beeping sound from passenger side of chassis?

I am traveling today so I can't ask the plant and I've never heard of this...

From a Sunseeker owner on the road...

"We suddenly have this odd beeping (3 short beeps that sound like an alarm clock) under the passenger side dashboard every 5 minutes or so but only when the engine is off and the key is out (which is, of course, when we are trying to sleep). I have searched online and in the manuals, but can not find any information. Please help."

I'm wondering if the sound is bouncing from the cab area and its actually the lp detector?

Just how loud is it? LP detector is piercing, but can be deceiving as to where its coming from.

At least in Heaven, RVs will be perfect, and I won't have to keep fixing them.

That was my first thought. I've never heard the chassis chirp, but I hear those detectors all the time.

Her response "Plugged in. Definitely in the cab. I removed all other electronics and sat there with the curtain pulled. Coming from the dash. Went for hours but stopped by morning. Had also been going on the morning before but stopped when driving. (Our CO2/LP is back by the kitchen.)"

Is this a late model sunseeker? Beats me what that could be. Maybe the dash DVD/radio. Something coming from right front speaker maybe. Kind of hard to diagnose that one. Only thing I can think of in that corner is the door speaker.

Can't remember, but does the camera monitor beep? I'll go check when the monsoon here quits.

I think its a 2012. She says it stops when they are driving and it just started doing it. All signs point to something with battery back up, but she's plugged in??

Also at a loss. I'll ask the shop on Monday. otherwise I think its a question for Ford.

Maybe a kids device in the glove box...

It could be your Big Foot Jacks if you have that option. If any one of the retract limit switches needs adjustment or a jack has drifted down a little it will beep under the front seat.

I would be interested in the cause...Have not had this issue but must say it is a puzzle!

heard a beeping today in a unit at a show. Took a while to find what it was...but it was the leveling jacks control panel.

It was HOT in Spokane so I had fired up a unit to get the dash air running. Apparently the jacks were down, so the beeping was a reminder not to drive off. Pushed the emergency brake in...beeping stopped.

Has anyone ever tested the emergency retract by putting the coach in drive? Just asking.
