Very common on RVs. The caliper pistons start seizing in the calipers.
Replace all the calipers and make sure they have metal pistons.
On that vintage chassis, MUCH more common for the CALIPER SLIDES to seize up.
Yes, if fixed calipers (pistons on BOTH sides of the caliper) it could be a seized piston, but if a sliding caliper (pistons on ONE side of caliper) it is quite likely that you need to clean and lube the CALIPER SLIDES.
Of course, if it has overheated to the point that the pads/rotors are damaged, you need to do a complete brake overhaul.
