If by RV you mean a motor home and not a trailer then it can have self-adjusting brakes but every vehicle I had with drum brakes were manual adjust. And of course disc brakes are self-adjusting by design so if it has disc brakes then for sure yes.

If you are talking about a travel trailer or 5th wheel trailer then it could have self-adjusting drum brakes. Even if the trailer does not have self-adjusting brakes you can install some if you wanted to.

I have included a picture showing a regular electric brake and a self-adjusting electric brake to show the difference.
