A couple suggestions
I'm a moderator on a forum for another brand of motorhomes.  One of the things we have done is to have a section at the top of the forum to post if someone is stuck, broken down, or needs any other immediate help.  Is that something that could be done here?
Another thing we had was a group of people who were willing to help drive someone's coach in the event of a death or other critical occurrence.  Along that line we strongly encouraged each coach owner to make sure their spouse knew and were capable to unhook the toad and/or drive the coach in the event of an emergency.  None of us are getting any younger and there could come a time when a medical emergency in an out of the way place could be life threatening if the only driver is the one with the problem.
Just a couple suggestions.

Thank you for your thoughtful suggestion, Forrest. As for the immediate help suggestion, it's my observation that in cases where someone has needed immediate help regarding most anything, members have been very quick to respond. It would be rare to leave someone twisting in the wind. I would include in the previous comment response to emergency transportation of someone's Lazy Daze.

Whether one has an emergency medical "airlift" plan or not, I strongly agree that, if at all possible, both partners/spouses/SOs/other be able to drive the RV and manage basic tasks; many of us have consistently advocated this. An illness and/or injury of the only driver can cause a lot of stress, inconvenience, hassle, and, often, expense for all concerned.

If one is uncomfortable, hesitant, fearful, or intimidated by what seems an impossible task, consider taking a driving course; it's a great way to learn and practice skills and encourage confidence.
