My coach was converted to 6 wheel disk brakes.

Was driving the GMC in Arkansas this past weekend down the road from the top of Magazine mountain. Was in 2nd gear to help keep speed in check and was trying to use the brakes sparingly, but I noticed a "bad" noise coming from the rear brakes. Pulled over and checked the temperature on all the rear disks. The right mid-axle temperature (over 700 degrees) was twice that of the left mid-axle, the rear axle disks were much cooler. What would cause one disk to get so much hotter than the others?
