I missed the transportation issue. There is very likely a handicapped van rental company near by. Most vans now are mini vans with cut down or lowered floor boards. A RV brings several issues including steps he may not be up to climbing. A wheelchair accessible van if he is able to transfer to say a Captains Chair would be the most comfortable & practical. Lieing down while riding might cause motion sickness issues. You might have to rent it and pay someone to drive it back or there may be a national rental company in the area of the hospital and all you would have to do is drive it to a major city for return. If he can’t transfer at that point you might have to try and locate a used wheelchair with Tilt back capacity. I would not recommend you and him making the trip back home alone in a vehicle though.

Knowing the distance from where you are to Boise, I would second this motion, and look toward air ambulance which would have bed or chair available and be much quicker, thought I’m sure more expensive. Expense is somewhat relative under the circumstances, and is something that could be shared. Then the issue would be getting your vehicle home, which could also be shared by team drivers along the route, doing 100, 200, or more miles and giving the vehicle to the next freeper team along the route. Each team would foot the bill for fuel on their leg of the journey, providing a service to you, and allowing you to travel with Jeff.
I do have a question on the tilt bed. It sounds like a fairly long term need, unless the BP and other issues I’m not aware of go away quickly. Will you need one back home?
