Do all you can to keep your rig in road-worthy condition. Don't run tires until they blow, don't wring every last volt out of your batteries, and do your scheduled maintenance.
The hardest part of being laid up is the realization that you yourself could have prevented it.

I will also add that sometimes things do happen. Knock on wood, we have been lucky to not have that problem. On the other hand, when you buy a sticks and bricks house, you don't worry about what if there is a fire and I can't live in my house? What if the roof is ripped off in a storm?
Try to keep your level of worry just high enough to take care of those preventive maintenance items that need attention but not so high as to have a negative impact on your new lifestyle.
