Back brakes overheated-now my front ones: what's happening??

I have a 2003 Holiday Rambler Neptune. My back brakes overheated & after having them inspected the back rotors, pads, & calipers were changed, as well as an ABS module that wasn't working. 500 miles down the road my front brakes overheat. I call the shop that did the back brakes, and they tell me that nothing was touched on the front brakes. I think it's too much to be simply a coincidence that, after having the RV for 8 years, all of a sudden both the back brakes then the front brakes overheat all in the span of about 2 weeks. Is there something tied in to both the front & back brakes (maybe the ABS module they replaced) that would be causing this?

    bluebarry1964b,
    Well Sir, not sure what to tell ya here Sir. I'm assuming they're air brakes, correct? Are you by any chance seeing any "ABS" lights on the dash? And, you say you've owned and operated it for 8 years, without any brake issues what so ever, up to these two incidents, correct? Has there been any other problems at all? The ABS sensors can reek havoc every once in a while and, they're fairly expensive to replace. So, sorry I can't give you a dead-on reason for your problems. Keep us informed if you find anything out. Always interested in learning what and how things work and are fixed on these beasts.
