Suppose you were sending a non mechanic off on a cross country
trip...Total 6000 Miles in a Well checked over Westy with Maybe 12K .
What basic skills and procedures would you want to teach that person?
 I'm thinking:  Replace and set points. Check oil and brake fluid. Jack
car and change a tire.  Learn basic lay out of wires and hoses so they
can all be wiggled and checked.
What else?
