Get an infarad thermometer and shoot each hub where brakes are at.It tells you real quick if you have brake problem,hot if rubbing and cold if not working.I shoot each tire also and it tells if one is hotter than others,low pressure or seperation on the way.Quick and easy,at each stop.
That works for sure, I use it on most trips.
One time a tire was about 10* warmer than the others, we were close to camp so I went on.
Setting up camp the tire chock would not fit between the tires, the tire had started to separate.

If in fact the brakes were dragging that long, they very well could be damaged, nothing but a complete tear down and through inspection would satisfy me. That includes the bearings.
