I have been stuck 11 days. A chronic health problem got unexpectedly worse and I am too ill to drive. I am headed to the central coast, near Pismo, but I could also go north to Oregon as I have people there.I am hoping to find a couple travelling south or north, and that with one person driving their rig and driving mine, we could caravan to their destination or mine, whichever is closer. My rig is a small van, very easy to drive and in great mechanical shape.I would be happy to compensate for your time and gas.Please PM me if this sounds like something you could help with. I am at my wit's end.

if I was close I,d help. BUT some of the insurers have in there policy road assist. check with yours. good luck.

I did call my insurance, but they said it was not something they could help with. The guy was very nice, though, and said if he thinks of anything he will email me.

Sorry to learn of your illness, and hope you heal up quickly. Being on the opposite coast, not much I can do to help, but hopefully someone will turn up soon

If you are trying to get to specific family or friends, why not store your RV and fly or ride the bus?

Sorry about your illness...Be sure to keep a eye out on the possible dam bust upstream on the Feather/Sacramento Rivers... They have evacuated some 200,000 folks downstream from the dam. It the dam goes it will put a 30-foot high flow of water in the Feather River which dumps into the Sacramento River that goes through the town there...Roy Ken

Stranded near Sacramento, can anyone help? | Good Sam Community

Put van in storage.....Fly 'home' to people in Oregon

Get WELL then fly back, get van and continue travels

Being 'home' with folks goes a long way to getting better....even if issue is long term

Staying does NOT bode well for recovery.
You have options..make use of them for your well being.

Thanks starcraft, I replied.

You know, I feel like I have slipped into the twilight zone. Maybe those of you from other parts of the US are used to this, but in the West we do not have natural disasters. The idea that I cannot get home just does not compute. I am used to being able to go where I want, when I want, with limitations just being things like work and money.

Perhaps you should contact authorities and let them know where you are located and that you are unable to relocate should the need arrise.

Maybe they can have someone move you to a safer location for now, at least.

I wonder if you could arrange something through Uber or Lyft? "Hire a driver"??

Was due to leave today, but plan fell through when the levee broke and freeway flooded. My driver felt it was too dangerous, and that the upcoming two weeks will be too snowy in the pass. So I am still stuck.

Some people have it worse, of course.

For future reference, I am a member of FMCA. One of the benefits of FMCA is FMCA Assist, it would have resolved the problem Naio was having with getting assistance. It's very similar to Skymed which I have as well (paid way too much for it)

Naio,

I'm to far to help but hope things work out. Would it be possible to drive in small stages like 50 miles a day then rest?
