Seeing how you are posting in the Class A forum and have a Ford chassis, you have a F53 chassis with 4 wheel disk brakes. No adjusters. The caliper pistons move in the bore to adjust for pad wear.
Your brake system does require that you remove the calipers every two years to clean and lube the slide mechanism. While you're there, check the caliper pistons for binding in the bore. You'll also need to change the brake fluid every two years.
