I took quite an interest in how everything works, which has kept me able to handle all the difficulties myself. A multimeter for measuring voltage is easy to use and quite informative. Writing down some voltages while everything is working makes a great reference when troubleshooting. The voltage on the batteries when engine charging and shore power charging is particularly useful. Good to know if the cutoff switch, usually at the door, also cuts off charging from the engine. Nice to know what fuses are in use and carry spares.
There are good discussions here about tire blowouts (be sure to watch the video on driving through a blowout. http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/13793499.cfm
If you figure on changing a flat tire on your own, read up on it here and practise at home, with an experienced friend if possible. It isn't like changing a car wheel. If not, check into the road services.
The MH changed our driving a lot. It is so relaxing having our house with us that we dawdle and have to use the cruise control to keep up with traffic. Pulling over for a dish of ice cream is such a delight. Enjoy!
