It's not the carbon monoxide detector or the smoke detector. It sounds like it's coming from the stereo. It's an infrequent beep, but it's annoying as heck. I can't figure out what would be beeping. It's just a plain 1-cd/stereo radio combo. Nothing fancy.

Weird!
Here are my two wild guesses:

If it's a "built-in" type stereo like one might see in a car, could it have an anti-theft alarm beeper that's malfunctioning???
OR
Might the stereo have an internal battery backup, and if so, could it be telling you it needs new batteries?

I'm out of ideas now...

Ours has an alarm clock feature on it possibly does yours and did it get set by accident?

What about the CO2 (propane leak) detector? They beep when they go bad.

Glad to hear someone else has the problem and mine just wasn't in my head. Do you have an inverter hooked up in the trailer? If so unplug it, not just turn it off. I have no technical reason or even a wild guess of why but after months of listening to the almost inaudible beep it stopped when I unplugged my inverter that I had for the bedroom TV...Good luck & let us know if it worked for you....

Just ask your DH. See what he has to say about the situation.

It is one of your detectors more than likely with a low battery alarm. the trick is figuring out which one. Took me two weeks one time to figure it out. the easy way would be to replace the batteries in all of them.

OK, this may not help at all, but I had a mysterious beep that was driving me nuts. It seemed to be under the floor. I finally crawled under the trailer and just laid there until it beeped, it took a while to track it down, getting closer with each beep and they were about five minutes apart. It turned out to be a travel alarm clock jammed under the living room slide! Apparently it's battery was finally running down as it had been missing for more than a year.

If it has a NOAA weather radio feature, it beeps when there are weather alerts usually followed by a weather broadcast but if you have the volume turned down, you may not be hearing the broadcast, just the beeps. And there has been plenty of weather recently to cause beeping! Short of disconnecting the battery or using a battery cut-off switch, there is not way to turn it off!
