The best think you can do is keep your vehicles, (and or/camper), or MH in tip-top shape all the time to eliminate as many "possible" failures. If anything is even remotely questionable before heading out on a distance trip, or an area you're not familiar with, or close enough you can recruit help from someone you know, then keep all your rig at it maximum performance all the time. Costly? Yes. Worth it? yes!
