Burning electrical smell from furnace
I've been dealing with this issue on and off for years, and I can't seem to find the cause. This all started when I replaced the thermostat years ago, and it has continued even with new thermostats. ...

Welcome to the forum.
You've replaced every component except the blower motor. Could it be .... the blower motor?
Thanks Joe, you missed this: So this year, I thought surely it has to be the motor, so I replaced that as well. It seemed to help at first, but that could have been coincidental.
But, I had a thought last night...there are only three vents in the trailer, and one of them is covered with a rug; occasionally, one of the other vents gets covered with a cat tree if we push it back without noticing. Is it possible the extra resistance in the system would be enough to burn out the motor?
No. The result of restricted ducting is the Hi Limit switch would constantly trip and reset. Motor burn outs are extremely rare. Doug
