Whether you have a particular brake issue is unknown ... but I can safely say that most new RV owners are surprised that it's often hard to stop an RV.

You should also consider having a mechanic inspect the chassis stuff - all the rubber (hoses/belts) in the engine compartment may have to be replaced and things like water pumps/radiators maybe suspect and other items like spark plug wires/distributors etc maybe due for replacement.
