My front brakes always run hot when towing with the Ford as well. Every trip the front wheels are covered in brake dust upon arriving to camp. I often can even smell them. I've had it back to Ford under warranty complaining of the brakes needing to be more balanced between front and rear. Both times they told me its how Ford is engineered with the SD trucks and its within spec.

Disk brakes on the camper will really help with this. Like others have said you can stop the whole rig with the camper brakes if you want. Worrying about being able to stop in time or brake fade down a mountain  is gone and actually makes the trip a little less stressful, for me anyway.
