Mysterious Chirp Fuzion 360

Hiya Folks. I have my Fuzion 360 winterized at a storage lot and battery pulled to take home to keep on a maintainer. Anyway I stopped at the storage lot to get something out of my RV and noticed an intermittent chirp (exactly like a smoke detector-low battery chirp) coming from back near the garage area.

As I said I do not have a battery installed so I had no way of opening my slide to search for the origin of the chirp. My master bedroom smoke alarm is disconnected as it went bad already. The LP detector near the floor at front door wasn't making the chirp, so I am befuddled as to where this may be coming from. I wasn't aware that there was another smoke detector in the aft portion of the main living area.

Anybody have any ideas? Is there another smoke detector hiding somewhere, or another device that sounds off when it's internal battery gets weak?

Check CO monitor. Thats the only other thing it could be if your battery is pulled. (Assuming its hard wired but has a backup 9v battery)
If its in storage maybe the chirp is from a neighboring unit?

There often are more than one smoke detector in an RV if there are separate living areas. Our Cougar has two, one in the bedroom and one in the main cabin. You likely have a second smoke detector mounted on the ceiling (or wall) above the slide where you can't see it with the slide in.

Thanks for the ideas. It does stand to reason that there would be additional smoke alarms near other sleeping areas like the ceiling loft, and garage, but to the best of my memory I have not seen them. The bummer is that I didn't have my battery installed to allow for a search at the time and it's a 4 hour round trip between home & camper. The chirp will likely have died by the time I can get back again.

Thanks again folks.

Just found my CO detector chriping, I found it had 3 AA batteries dated 2011, although the trailer is a 2013.

CO detector most likely

So several days ago I replaced batteries in the CO detector that was chriping, today the smoke detector was chriping and replaced the 9 v battery. Both were battery only detectors and I believe that the colder temps 20 lower than recently averages had something to do with the failures.
