Your MH is 13 yrs. old. Alot of things go out between 10 and 15 yrs. of age. Refer, Waterheater, Micro oven, etc. Hard to check for failure of these items. Just have a few $1000's on hand for replacement.
Motor and trans are usually bullet proof unless unit has been abused. Have brakes checked and fluid flushed. Same with trans. Change all belts and hoses. Flush rad and cooler. Check waterpump for seepage. Check age of batteries. Don't forget, if you have towing service, you still have to pay the cost of having the problem fixed once you get too the repair shop.
If you are mechanically inclined, you can solve these problems as they occur. If not, have a "large" financial reserve.
