I have a 31' Class A MH. 90% of my travel is on flat interstate highways. What mileage should I expect from my brakes?

There are so many variables to even try and give you an answer..
Driving habits, brake drag, manufacturer, brake pad width, drum vs.disc, etc... some get over 50,000 miles some don't! I would just check them when scheduled maint is due..

Too many variables for sure, but on my last MH I had 80K plus and they were not even close.
The last couple of yrs. the inspector would ACT like he was lookig at them and say,
"looks like you had the pad replaced recently" YEA, was my answer as I didnt want to
cast spurrins on his mechinical skills!!!!!!!!!!!

Just had the rear brakes on the WH replaced AFTER 2 heat checks, with 33K miles...
I dont know what the thickness waws new, but now the PAD measures 7/16.
I picked up the old pads, and I dont think they are in any way damanaged. But the
repair shop in MA. changed them our.Pads cost $160, and 1 hr. install time.

LIke you I use interstate 90% of time and tow 95% of time. TENN.
