The hot brake smell is an interesting observation.

I posted several years ago that I seemed to get better fuel mileage with the sway control off when pulling my 5th wheel. I contributed that increase because the brakes were engaging intermittently by the sway control.

I know a 5th wheel does not have the sway that a bumper pull trailer has, but I figure it still has enough to engage the brakes some.

have not towed in any wind since the repair. However it still feels different with the sway control on and off. On it still feels like the truck has a little dance like something is impacting how the truck handles. I need some big cross winds!
