Propane Leak Detector question

I have a 2006 Fleetwood Williamsburg.  We just opened it up for the season and the propane leak detector is chirping real low.  Just loud enough to be an anoyance.  Is this due to a low battery?  How can I get it to stop?

Charge the battery. You discharged it to the point it's REALLY dead if it's been hooked up all winter. Hopefully you haven't kill the battery.
One of the unwritten rules on batteries is to disconnect them when not actively camping or connected to shore power as phantom drains will draw one down in as little as 2 weeks.

Yes your battery is low.  It is easy to disconnect the batter on the Fleetwood trailers.  There is a little white plastic connector in the battery wire line.  Just squeeze the sides and separate the 2 pieces of the connector.:)

Indeed it was the battery.  Once we towed it to the campground the sounding stopped.  The battery is fine as well.  We had to live on battery power for the better part of a day because the power went down in the CG we were at.  Never missed a beat with our battery power.

When you guys get home, consider putting the battery on a battery charger to allow it to get fully charged.

Glad you got it figured out and were able to go camping.
