By D+ I suspect you mean generator? The smell sounds like a mystery but it seems that the generator is not functioning properly, even if it is spinning. It could be the brushes in the generator. Before I converted to an alternator (a la Swdish Embassy.com) I was always having the type of problems you describe...since then, not even one problem. You might consider it, especially if your going to take a long road trip.
Other than that, if all your wiring, fuses and VR are OK, you may want to take out the generator and make sure the brushes are not worn down or grounding out.
Good luck.
