Thank you for your post, Adventure! I would like to chime in here and mention a few things.
First, I wanted to let you know that Good Sam TravelAssist helps members every day with issues related to medical emergencies while traveling. Whether it’s helping members recover their lost luggage, returning an RV that the member cannot drive due to injury or illness, or handling the return of remains for the family of a member who has passed. I’m sure, given enough time, someone who has used TravelAssist will respond to this post.
Also, I wanted to clarify that the only Good Sam TravelAssist benefit that requires that it be determined that the hospital stay is going to exceed 7 days is the Solo Traveler Benefit. This is the benefit that will arrange and pay for a family member or friend to fly to your bedside when it is determined that you are going to be in the hospital for more than 7 days (3 days with Premier). The only other benefit that requires a minimum hospital stay (3 days) is the Paid Pet Housing/Return Benefit offered with Good Sam TravelAssist Premier.
To answer your question, Triker33, while most traveling companions choose to stay with the hospitalized member until they are stabilized, if the traveling companion chooses to be returned home prior to the hospitalized member being released, Good Sam TravelAssist will accommodate them. Again, there is no minimum hospital stay requirement for the Return of Traveling Companion Benefit.
Also, regarding your question about RV/Vehicle Return, Adventure, Good Sam TravelAssist will arrange and pay for the return of your rig if you become unable to drive it due to injury or illness. This benefit does not require admittance to a hospital, but only requires confirmation from a physician that you are unable to drive it.
Without getting too longwinded, I wanted to add one last thing. It bears mentioning that Good Sam TravelAssist is not a reimbursement program. I only bring this up because in the original post, the phrase “turned in a claim” was used. Good Sam TravelAssist is meant to help members in real time without having to file for reimbursement. There are a few exceptions, but this post is already pretty long.

Thanks again for your posts!
