well, if you get a written statement from them, then go to the Jayco dealer you brought it from, and ask............
they are usually good with their warranty, so it cannot hurt to ask the question
they may want you to take it to them for inspection...........
dont do anything until you have statement and photos to take to Jayco

HMMM Macquarie Pass would be enough to melt anything if over used, Were they working prior to the pass? Silly question but was the handbrake off properly?
Possible short in the system that has applied the brakes more than normal but you'd more than likely feel them dragging if that were the case.
Ask them to check the bearings aren't to tight, these to can over heat in turn heating the brake drum causing brake failure.

We recently did a trip to Lithgow and back in the same day, Run down from Mount White would test any brakes as would the return run down from the Blue Mountains, only thing we had was a bit of brake dust on the rims, mind you they were nice and warm when we checked after arriving home, not that that helps you at this stage. I agree with the others get a written statement and photo's but it sounds like faulty brakes or brake components to me.

Sept 2013.. Only 800kms? Woah.
Not sure why being a female affects it
I'd be going back to jayco if they are faulty. The van must be brand new still.
