dim lights

I left my fridge on for a couple of days and when i went into the rv the lights were dim and there was a loud alarm going off. I don't know it the fridge brought the battery down, and i don't know what was making that alarm noise. I turn the inside lights off and the alarm stops, help

You didn't say if the trailer was running on shore power or battery. Makes a huge difference.

Hard to diagnose the alarm long distance. You could try to locate it next time.

The battery is almost dead and the propane (gas) detector is going off. It is wired to the 12v dc and will sound when the battery gets low. Charge the battery and you should be fine.
