check your 12v fuses for the radio, it's not uncommon to need to retighten plumbing fixtures now and again.

your fridge could be either the door latch alarm or the door light alarm malfunctioning, there have been many of those on the new dometic fridges this year.

I had the very same problem with the beeping refrigerator on my 2015 178. It was a bad board and it had to be replaced. No problems since.

I guess I am lucky, our 2011 RP-172 never went back for any warranty repairs. no problems with appliances, trim, etc. gosh I hope I have not jinxed myself. 3 years of flawless usage. I bet I am gonna get paid back for bragging.
