Could it be the CO detector on the wall left of the window?

We had a "beeping" sound going on in our bed room for a while and it took a while to figure it out. It turned out to be our portable sound bar we attached to the television. Although it was powered by a USB cord, it also had a battery in it that charged too, so when the USB cord was unplugged, it still had a charge to run for days. Well, days went by and the USB cord was not plugged in. The beeping sound was a warning that the rechargeable battery was getting low. We plugged it in and it quit the beeping.

Do you have an electronics tucked away the runs off rechargeable battery power and it's chirping at you? Something you might have forgotten about? an alarm clock? a dog toy?

I'm going to second Carl's guess and second the idea of the CO Detector OR it could also be the propane detector and it sounds like it is coming from the bedroom. I don't know where they have put the propane detector at in the 3120's. Ours is on the kitchen island but who knows where yours could be. Hope you find it because that can drive one nuts if you don't!

Chirping noise?

It sounds like it coming from bedroom return air duck in the ceiling!! The dealership we bought it at didn't show us any thing about this rv!! I didn't even know how to drain the Island sink tank tell I watch it on youtube. What doe's the propane detector look like? Thanks Rondo for that idea.

The 12V powered Propane Detector is usually near the floor in the kitchen (attached to the island if you have one). It looks like this:






The smoke/CO detector is battery driven and is usually mounted high on the wall in the highest part of the RV. It looks like this:



One other potential source of the beep is the Level Up control panel (outside of the bedroom). If a previous action failed to complete completely (such as a jack fully extending without touching ground) the panel will beep until you acknowledge the error.

Recently, the power was cut at the campground I was at and when power was restored the brand new trailer next to me had a muffled beep or chirp that started. It was very similar to the CO or smoke detector chirping. Upon searching with the new owner we found that the new RV refrigerator had a notification alarm that was affiliated with the control panel and an orange light labeled check on inside door panel to alert you to check everything was functioning properly after power was restored We turned power button off on RV type ( gas/electric) fridge and it reset itself. Not saying this is your issue but it was very close to the same chirp and was a tad muffled making it seem like it was coming from elsewhere????

Could be the inverter, if the battery goes below 12 volts it chirps.

We have a 3120RL and I can comment on two things. The inverter is mounted upside down in the side storage bay on the drivers side. It has an alarm when the battery voltage gets on the lower side for the inverter to operate. The second is a whistle/whine from the propane gas regulator.

Leveling control board

If you gave hydraulic leveling check to see if the rv is out of level. It will chirp when you are out of specs

Leveling system

Check the leveling system. If there is an error, it will nag you.

Has anyone had a chirping sound in the bedroom in Montana fifth wheel. ours is a 3120rl 2019. I had all the power off and unhooked and every 45 -60 seconds it beeps. I hate to take it to a dealer, it a long way from where I live. I think there a smoke detector or something on a 9 volt battery that in the ceiling somewhere. Maybe a worker having a bad day. thanks for any info,

This appears to be a duplicate of what you wrote originally in Post #1. Have you read the previous suggestions? If none of them applied, let us know. Or if one did, let us know that too.
