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!

Grit dog's post made me rethink the question and answers here. I stand by my comments in general, and agree with many on here that other factors can come into play concerning wear. Buzzcut makes a great point about sticking calipers, which as pointed out by others, can cause 'riding the brakes' type of action and premature wear.
I did not watch the vid.. I'm ok with checking out a picture or 30 second video, but not a 60 min how to replace show.
So, there are failures, and if one pad sheared, could be a number of reasons. A quick check of the system should answer that.
I set the link to take you to the last couple minutes of the video. Specifically to the spot showing the box, brand, type, of new pads, then show the old pads. Only a couple specific minutes. Don't wish to waste your time either.
