I was camping last week (6 nights) and every night except (1) the alarm went of at around 11:;30 and nobody was anywhere around the truck. Has anyone else had this happen to them and if so what was the problem, the people next to me at the campsites were getting a little upset with me. I flat tow the truck behind my motorhome and this has not happened before this trip. thanks for any info.

If it went off around the same time every night, maybe there's some signal being generated in that area that caused it, like something that emulated the panic button on the key fob. Or did you roll over on the key fob and hit that red button?
Are you sure it was "alarm" or the honking like when you press the panic button on the fob?

No way related to your glady, but my 2001 Dodge with the factory alarm system would do that occasionally until I figured out that it was actually the door mechanism that was faulty. It would read that the door was closed and locked until suddenly (something) would tell it that the door was open and it would alarm. Happened at all times of day and night until I figured out that I could use the fob to unlock the truck which deactivated the alarm. Now I keep it "unlocked" and deactivated but manually lock the doors using the pup up indicators on the door.

More than likely not the same issue you are having since my truck is >20 years old at this point and oozes early 2000s Dodge quality.

Hope you get it figured out..
