Heat is most likely the cause of rotors cracking. Heat from over or miss use. The best way to reduce this is to use and exhaust brake.

I do not have a MH but have used an exhaust brake on my TV for the past 10 years. The exhaust brake allows me to desend a 5 % grade without using any brakes and greatly reduces the brake usage on hills over 5 %.
