Now put those things together and you'll have the solution ^^

Let me channel the power of Battler.
The man and wife are traveling to their destination by RV, and is resting on the way. The man - sleeping in one of the rooms in RV - wakes up and decides to go to washroom and leaves the RV without informing his wife. Meanwhile wife, who is tasked with driving the RV, decides it is time to leave and starts pulling away from the rest station or wherever they were resting while man is in the washroom. Wife does not realize man is not in the RV because she still think he is sleeping in one of the rooms. The man, exiting the washroom, sees either RV moving far away or that there is no longer RV anymore. He has no method to contact her, and his wife is unlikely to realize the fact that man is not in RV for long time, so he is stuck.

YES. Absolutely perfect description of the events, nothing to add here.
My, my, so this game has started again when I was abot to declare it dead.
Wonderful, wonderful, let's see how far we can continue.
I definitely still have more than enough riddles to solve, fear not.
Since this thread is 50 posts away from the limit, starting another case in here is impractical.
Therefore, I will start a new thread with the next riddle either tonight or tomorrow.
And remember, by request of Pesco, the next riddle will be another photo-answer-special, and I'll work hard to make it even better than the last one.
(If you don't know what that means, look at Case 16, it's in the Detective's Record in the OP
Please wait warmly until the next game is prepared~

One thing I was bit unsure about that solution was that the man could simply have waited on the washroom. If the wife is moderately smart, she will realize the place she left could have only been the place the man got lost, and will return- at maximum man will only need to wait two days; inconvenient, but not enough to screw over entire vacation or try to return to home. Isn't it?
Also, since they chose to rest during their way, you can anticipate the place they were resting was camping ground, RV park, or some random spot near the highway. If so man can simply try to stop one of the cars passing by, explain the situation, and borrow the cellphone to contact the wife. Perhaps the wording was bit too strong in this puzzle? It kinda seemed to suggest they had no choice but to return, which suggested some unrecoverable situation, which above situation definitely is not.
