Double check the insurance issues. This rental company RVShare states it provides the insurance and 24-hour roadside; not the customer.
Since you had so many problems with it when you bought it you had better hope it's in top mechanical condition.

Sure looks like 2008 to me using a magnifier. 🤔

Missoula to Lewiston: You really need to get the 'Mountain Directory for Truckers and RVers'.
I can't recall any dropoffs on either route.
Lolo Pass - Hwy 12 - Going west from the summit is 6% grade for 5 miles - a steady descent with many curves. After coming down you'll be following the river for almost 100 miles and rivers are winding. However, the road is at river level... no dropoffs. This is your shortest route. I'd advise not to do this this drive on the weekend if you have options. It's very busy with campers and fishermen.
If you take I-90 from Missoula you'll first encounter Lookout Pass - 5 mi of 5-6% descent with two runaway truck ramps. Then you'll have 4th of July Summit on I-90 just east of Coeur D'Alene. The grade is steady at 5.5% for 4 miles.
For both routes you'll then encounter Lewiston Hill on Hwy 95 coming down to the river at Lewiston. Speed limit is 35mph. This downhill is a steady 7% for 6 miles. There are 3 runaway truck ramps. There are curves the last 4 miles.

Call the DMVs involved.

Here is the information on where you're staying and also information on dispersed camping. Sounds like a nice place!
We always found it's just easier to do a Search rather than trying to call BLM.

Yes. They are all (internists, dermatologist, optician, ophthalmologist, optical, lab, gynecologist, and hospital) part of the Park Nicollet system except for our dentist. Park Nicollet has all their outgoing calls routed through the same phone number. So it is in my contacts as ParkNic outgoing. We don't know which doctor is calling until we answer, though.

Interesting way of doing it.

We're lucky in that all outgoing calls from all of our doctors show the same phone number so adding that number to my contact list was easy.
Linda
All of your doctors, labs, specialists have the same number?

In years past, my wife and were pretty good about letting unknown calls go to voicemail. In the past year or so though, with all our recent medical issues, we're regularly receiving calls from doctors offices where the calling number is seldom the same due to multiple outbound lines and cell phone use.
I think most of us get those kinds of calls from doctor's offices. I still don't answer and they have always just left a message. Haven't missed anything yet!

Yes, I made a comment in that thread. 😊

Simple ...... don't answer calls from numbers not in your contact list. If important, they'll leave a message.

Livingston, TX Flooding,,,,, We've been to the Escapees park numerous times but I don't recall if it would be on higher ground than the actual town.

Photos of the town look awful and up to rooftops in some areas. Hope everything is OK.

Why do people answer calls that they don't recognize? If it's important they'll leave a message.

Ugly....

Rates went up all over the country.

Hi. We are work campers. Full time. We get paid on W-2s, but move to seasonal jobs. Can we claim the travel to assignments and site rent? On Sched C? TIA
I would ask a tax guy rather than a forum! 😉

We 'retired' early at 55 due to downsizing. Sold everything - lived in a 2500 sq ft lakeside home in Michigan. We knew we didn't want to stay in Michigan with the winters and we definitely didn't want to rent out our home when not there. We wanted to travel. We full-timed for 16 years with a lot of volunteering for a campsite in our national and state parks. We loved AZ in the winter so eventually got a lot at the Benson SKP Coop for the winters. At one time we also had a lot in Washington at Chimicum SKP park. However, we felt staying there in the summer really curtailed our traveling so that was sold.
As we aged and having seen all the places we wanted... many over and over and as the crowds came to be and reservations were a must we sold the RV.
We have now bought a 1100 sq ft home with mountain views in a very active retirement town in AZ (not a planned inclusive community). It came completely furnished down to linens and pots and pans. We didn't have to buy a thing. It's near excellent medical, cultural and outdoor activities. Our kids didn't stay in Michigan either and now live in the West. We felt if owning property while RVing you feel committed to using it for a chunk of time. What we did worked great for us.

... a very unfortunate accident but the daughter stated: "Sure, maybe Airstream doesn't advise traveling inside the trailer. But we thought maybe that the last 20 minutes of an eight-hour drive and slow country roads would be fine." ..... a bad decision to go against recommendations.

They stated 'trailer'.... had to be a motorhome. Do you have the link?

Those BOF listings need to be updated and delete the ones not in service. I've talked to people who say some of the BOFs aren't active anymore. BOFs began before the popular cell phones and internet as a way to get together.

I don't know if this would affect you. Here are their Long-Term stay regulations. Long-Term means longer than 8 weeks.
An excerpt:
LONG-TERM STAY (LTS) POLICY
Reservations that are made for a period that is longer than 8 weeks are considered Long-Term Stays. We will allow reservations for more than 8 weeks, but, should the customer cancels within the last 30 days prior to their original check-in date, the deposit cannot be refunded.https://escapeesrvparks.com/national-reservation-cancellation-policies/

@2gypsiesI, too, did a google concerning 89A and found valuable information. Thank you for the link. Insightful. I would love to drive it with my truck but not trailering.
Definitely drive it with your truck. It's very nice and stop at Slide Rock State Park... there may be some swimmers in the beautiful creek. Also, near the top of the drive is a very large pull-off and there are usually Native Americans there selling nice jewelry. Hope you're able to do some trails out of Sedona. It's such a pretty area.... but very crowded. Our first visit was many years ago when it wasn't really 'discovered' yet.... quite a change.
Also.... coming from Monument Valley Tuba City is a good place to buy fuel. Usually more reasonable than Flagstaff and definitely more reasonable than Sedona.
Continuing down 89 from Tuba City on the right at Cameron immediately past the Colorado River will be the Cameron Trading Post, i believe is the name. It is a high quality gift shop (& has less expensive ones, also) but they have a very nice restaurant. Navajo tacos are awesome! Nothing like the typical 'taco'.

At that intersection is Hwy 64 which would take you to Grand Canyon Nat'l Park. If you weren't planning to go there you could at least do a loop from there, through the park and exiting on south 64... then to Flagstaff by 64/180 or 64 to Williams & I-40. Many canyon viewpoints to park along the upper 64. Good road.
Campendium.com looks like it is gone. Another great camping info website gone.
