Excuse me for stating the obvious, but if you are towing the CR-V, and using a supplemental braking device like a Brake Master or another device which I'm assuming applies pressure to the CR-V's brake pedal from a bracket mounted to the seat track, and then experienced an extremely premature heat-related failure, wouldn't the most likely cause be that the supplemental braking device you were using was simply adjusted wrong and braking too heavily (supplying too much braking power to the CR-V's pedal) which you're not likely to 'feel' at all when behind the wheel of the motorhome? I'm not sure if Camping World or another place installed it, but they all try real hard, and they don't always get the 'little' things just right (I've come to expect that), and leave fine tuning and adjusting up to you. Sometimes they even give you the instructions. Likely they set the device up using a 'safe' default, which may be way too heavy for any light-duty vehicle like the CR-V, which results in too much of your braking occurring from the towed vehicle.
However, nice and easy on your motorhomes giant, oversized braking system was the goal, wasn't it? I'm sure you already checked, and adjusted the pressure to the pedal to the lightest possible after experiencing a problem to see if you still have a problem. It's likely you don't need much brake pedal pressure for the CR-V. Just my guess after reading the information you provided in your post and doing a lot of towing. And with my experience getting things installed at CW, each one needed a bit (understatement) of 'fine tuning' afterwards, and down the road. Gear brake which was installed by the RV dealer.
The sensitivity runs from 1 to 9. It was firstly set on 4.5 and recently changed to 3. Even if it were at 9 the entire time, it has only been towed 1,800 miles, mostly on Interstate highways, with limited braking. The tires are not flat spotted. It appears that the brakes are on somewhat all the time. However, after road testing with the RV dealer, the brake lights only come on during braking. A tech road in the car and observed the brake pedal which appeared to operate normally.
Every one is baffled, even the tech from U.S. We've got a 2005 CR-V SE (auto, awd) which we've used as a 'toad' for about 18 mos. And 7-8,000 miles. No problems, no drama.
Use a Roadmaster All-Terrain towbar and MX brackets. Have a Brakemaster supplemental braking system installed. Perform the transmission fluid circulation routine before towing and then again usually at every fuel stop (3-4 hours), though according to the manual it's only necessary every 8 hrs. Highway speeds of 65-68 usually. Connecting/disconnecting is fairly straightforward, about 5 minutes or so. I do plan to have the transmission fluid service done every 15-18 months just for my own peace of mind, though the manual says every 2 yrs/30K. Very nice vehicle to tow and to drive.

Low weight, large passenger/cargo space compared to other vehicles in this category (e.g. Jeep Liberty), and decent performance and fuel economy. Gear brake which was installed by the RV dealer.

Sounds like the problem is with the auxillary brake installation and not with Honda.
Important: When using max towing capacity to determine which RVs your vehicle can safely tow, remember that passenger weight, optional equipment, and additional cargo needs to be added into the equation. Do not exceed your vehicle’s towing capacity because doing so can affect your vehicle’s stopping ability, handling, or possibly even damage the drivetrain. You should always obtain your tow vehicle’s trailer weight and trailer weight rating from the appropriate manufacturer before purchasing or towing a trailer and you are responsible for your purchase and operation of your tow vehicle and/or trailer.
