Our trailer is beeping

Our 2720SL is making a smaller and pretty lame-sounding beep every 5 minutes or so. That battery must be on it's last legs. In the spring, we will replace it and next year, change it before closing it down.

Yesterday, the temperature got up into the 20's and the smoke detector stopped beeping. I thought the battery had finally died. Tonight, the temperature is back below 0 and its beeping again. Next year, we'll take the smoke detector battery out.

We too had to figure out what that beep was every 45 seconds in our garage. I wish I had been visiting this site more frequently at the time it occurred so we wouldn't have gone through so much investigation.

We thought that it might be our security system, so hubby took apart one of the sensors to check the battery and that was OK, but managed to damage it in the process. Well, our alarm went off and I had to quickly disable it.

Then, we thought it was the garage door opener since the sound was coming from that general location. The Garage door opener manual (found after much searching) didn't mention beeping in the troubleshooting area, so a question was posed to their support people on the internet. They replied that their garage door openers don't beep. They suggested that we look for a smoke detector as the culprit.

Well, then, we realized that the smoke detector would be located directly under the garage door opener (TM is closed up).

At first, we were going to pull the TM out of the garage and take care of it, but we have now decided to wait for Spring.

This is something we won't forget in the future. We DID remember to take the batteries out of the clock this year, however! Live & Learn!

Check the battery in the smoke detector. We had our trailer 8 months before we found out that the battery was still wraped in plastic and not hooked up.
