There is a lot of good advice here though I would disagree with two statements [paraphrasing].
'Not a RV limitation'. I disagree. The vehicles performance is an important factor in maintaining control, particularly on downhill runs. If your brakes are on the verge of needing to be replaced, then there's a distinct possibility they could fail you when you least need them to.
'Brake for 10 to 30 seconds'. I can't call this absolutely wrong but I don't practice that. Everything written about the approach is correct however, you need to create space between he pads and the disk to cool them. I've found that pumping for 5sec and releasing for 5 results (or thereabouts) result in better breaking - specifically on long downhill runs. 21k miles and brakes have worn VERY little.
Safe travels.

That's not an RV problem, that's an every vehicle problem. So that would be back to an Operator Problem not maintaining their vehicle.
