That's just a defective brake pad. Can't say I've ever seen that happen before, but not related to hauling a camper I'm pretty certain. Good thing you caught it quick. Hard not to I spose!
Edit, after reading Reality checks post, did I read yours wrong Jeff? Brake pad lining just went MIA, right? Not wore out?
The material on the one pad just sheared off. All the other pads looked to have worn evenly. About 3/16 to 1/4 inch of material was on the other pads.
Seattle and surrounding areas are hilly and I drive plenty of those hills regularly. I also drive stop and go traffic. Yearly mileage is 12 to 16K miles. I've gone about 25 to 30k miles on most brake pads over the last 12 years. The difference is this set of pads has more use with the truck camper on than any of the other brake pads. Close to 5 months with the truck camper on the truck over the last year. This probably is an amount of use with much increased weight issue.
