2013 Sabre not in use but has popping noise underneath

We just returned from a week's trip and all went well except when we came home and turned everything off there's a clicking noise coming from underneath. Nothing is on in the camper. It's a regular clicking sound and would like to find the cause before something breaks. Have never heard it before. You help would be much appreciated!

Refrigerator on auto and power still on with electric disconnected? Click could be fridge trying to light on LP. If gas is shut it will just keep going. Water heater could be the same way if gas is off. You say underneath and these would be on the sides.

Did the emergency breakaway cable get pulled? Could the sound be your brakes clicking?

I just went out and checked again but everything is off. Even the gas but it does sound like something is trying to start. The sound is coming from the front of the camper instead of the back where the appliances are located. It almost sounds like the wheels?!

I'll check the breakaway switch tomorrow since the sound seems to be coming from the front near the brakes. Crazy, to say the least! Thanks!!

Hello fellow NCer. I would disconnect the battery, now.

Agreed. Sounds like something pulled the breakaway. That'll likely run your battery VERY dead.
