Hot burning smell

[Waltzing Matilda]

Brought home out TT for de-winterizing. Smelled a hot burning smell while towing, took it back today to where we keep it, and same thing. Any ideas? Tow vehicle is a 2017 Tundra

Was the breakaway cable pin pulled out?

I would not park this truck in a garage.

Disconnect the battery and breath deep.


Burning smell?? Oil? chaff electrical wiring?



You may have blown a fuse that goes back to your trailer.


Look for oil leaks, check for blown fuses and why would 'it' have blown. Look for chaff wiring front to back. Different 'causes' have different smells.


Narrow this down, before you have something a lots worse than smell... the smell is saying.... find and fix.

First step is locate the source of the smell, tow vehicle or TT? Brakes?? narrow down the source.

If I'd had to pick a starting point, electric trailer brakes or coming from under the hood of your tow vehicle.
