Default care of a 20 year old CRV

we live in the mild weather (usually!) on canadas west coast.
and we intend to keep our 1997 crv for as long as we can.
it has 85km or 52k miles on it.
so far we have only had to change the battery and tires and replace the rugs (newer Honda ones were not as good!)
following the manual the timing belt is replaced every 7 years.
2000 miles a year local use. a 45min drive is seldom.
it has been towed about 20,000 miles behind the RV.
the oil and filter has been changed every six months.
last year according to the manual the coolant should have been changed but the dealer said the coolant last for 5 years.

what else has changed!

how do we keep it going another 10 years?

thanks all.

You are doing just about everything needed for the crv. should last you a long time.
