You have 3 detectors in the pod, smoke, carbon monoxide, and propane. Propane is the only one that is hardwired, and usually when people think they have a beeping smoke detector, they actually have a beeping propane detector because it "alarms" at about 11.5v for some reason. I have never had a smoke detector or cO detector that gave more than 1 or two beeps after the battery was removed.

The smoke detector can be removed by giving it a counter clockwise twist. Remove it from the pod, take it in the house. If it's still beeping, with a new battery in it, replace it. The pod is a very small space and it's often very hard to tell where a beep might be coming from.

i'm going to slightly (just a little!!!) disagree hear.  a smoke detector can beep for a period of time even after removing the battery.  but i agree, i don't think this is the problem as campingnut mentioned it did not even have a battery in it to begin with.  hogone]]> Wed, 17 Dec 2014 21:04:15 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5632&PID=55062#55062 smoke detector : If there was no battery it wasn't... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5632&PID=55054#55054 Author: Keith-N-Dar

If there was no battery it wasn't  beeping.  I agree with Furpod.  I had the same trouble when we first got ours.]]> Wed, 17 Dec 2014 18:58:21 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5632&PID=55054#55054 smoke detector : It is the smoke detector beeping.... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5632&PID=55048#55048 Author: campingnut

It is the smoke detector beeping.

It isn't the smoke detector. My bet is your battery is low for the pod, and it's the propane detector.]]> Wed, 17 Dec 2014 15:19:18 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5632&PID=55046#55046 smoke detector : Our smoke detector started beeping.... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5632&PID=55045#55045 Author: campingnut

Our smoke detector started beeping. Opened the detector and found no 9V battery. Put in a new battery. Still keeps beeping. Any fixes?]]> Wed, 17 Dec 2014 15:12:47 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5632&PID=55045#55045
