The front brakes on my relatively new Kodiak RV (Jayco Greyhawk 33DS) that has 3600 miles on it squeals on occasion. Do I need to be concerned or is this normal depending on braking pressure, temp, speed, etc?

My 04 Kodiak has had a brake squeal since new. If they stopped squealing, I would be worried.

If they set for even overnight, that nice shiney rotor will get surface rust on it,when the brakes are applied, they will often squeal untill the rust is gone.
