On our 2003 G3500 GM based motorhome we had a very bad shimmy when the brakes got hot. Found that the front calipers were not moving correctly, the pad was engaging the rotor incorrectly (pad not wearing evenly). I replaced the rotors, installed new pads, cleaned and greased all moving surfaces of the calipers so they would slide correctly.

No more shimmy and much better braking (less peddle pressure required).
