So we have been having a burning smell coming from our AC this past summer. I searched all kinds of forums and post to find answers. Had it checked out by our TulsaRV dealer and they found nothing and I paid them $57 for their effort. Took it on a trip and 30 seconds into AC start, got a burning smell from the AC. Yep, I took care of that issue with the dealer to my satisfaction.

Schedule did not allow until January for us to bring to Camping World for a 2nd opinion. THIS IS THE REAL REASON FOR THIS POST: The Service Tech opened the J-box and found the hot, negative and ground wires all taped together. There was a short. It actually got so hot it melted the wire nuts off and the electrical tape had burned. This was occurring every time we turned on the AC. IT CAME FROM THE FACTORY THAT WAY!! This was not tied to the Keystone AC Recall. So if you have a Bullet Premier, I strongly suggest you have a authorized service tech check things out before summer gets here.
