Is there anyway I can stop the carbon monoxide /propane detector from beeping when it doesn't get enough power. Whenever my aux. battery and main battery show adequate power there is no beeping. but when the main battery goes dead the beeping starts. I go and start motorhome up and let main battery charge for a period of time. When Both aux. and main battery show adequate power the beeping stops. Any thoughts on how to stop the annoying beeping. Maybe turn off one of the fuses in the fuse box??? Thanks, I enjoy the motorhome but these problems are frustrating. Many thanks, have a nice weekend.

I had a similar problem on a Forest River RV.

The unit is easy to remove, cut the power wire and install a simple toggle switch.

Be sure to turn it back on when needed, you will not find this recommended in any safety manuals.

Robert, our detector units both have batteries in them as back-up, either AA or AAA. They will drive you crazy beeping if that battery runs down. Take your unit(s) off the wall and try replacing the battery if yours have one. PS When we are storing the RV and not using it, we take the units off the wall and take the batteries out, just because. No one would hear them beeping anyhow even if there was a problem.

Don't know if this will help you or not. An easy fix if it does.
