If you go to their webpage you will find that the inspection contract, with the fine print, is not there. I am sure that what the fine print says, based on looking at other inspection contracts for vehicles and houses, is that anything the inspector misses becomes your problem, not his. They do not offer any guaranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the inspection.
Not saying that the inspector would not do a thorough inspection of the house portion, but the mechanical portion of the inspection , including engine, transmission, drive train, and suspension seems to be lacking.
California for all it's Nanny laws does not license Home inspectors but the industry does self regulate to a degree. There is an organization for RE Inspectors called CREIA, California Real Estate Inspectors Association. The standards are very strict and E&O insurance is mandatory. No exclusion clause in CREIA contracts. There is a detailed list of items they inspect and the Errors and Omissions insurance covers those items.
I can't say the same for RV inspectors or their contracts but I would bet there is something similar in that field too. Not everyone is just out to take your money and useless. Any contract for inspections should list those things to be inspected and as such you do have recourse regardless of statements of non liability.
