Hi Ralph;
If you have brakes that are dragging, they will get hot. Be sure that the brake pedal has a small amount of free play when the brake pedal is being held up by the return spring. If you can not feel the push rod that goes into the master cylinder free to move with finger pressure, then the rod is too tight and will not let the piston in the master cylinder return to it's proper place, when this happens pressure is maintained in the brake system causing your brakes to drag. If your rear brakes are drum type, jack up the rv and turn the wheel by hand, It should be free to turn, without heavy dragging on the brake shoes. If you have disc brakes on the front or rear, the pistons may be distorted due to overheating, then they will need to be replaced along with the caliper seals, and piston seals.
Good Luck
