Since the business and their attorney thought it was important enough to have that clause in the rental contract, taking action # 2 or # 3 will most assuredly result in #1. Though I guess there is always the chance the owner is a complete loon, it is most likely that clause is necessary to safeguard the ownership and management in the unlikely event there is a need to enter the RV. Just as some people are a bit overly concerned with their privacy, there are an equal number who are overly active with their attorneys and lawsuits whenever they see a potential opening. That is why simple rental contracts have morphed into multi-page documents. Common sense and reasonableness no longer apply in many situations.JALLEN4 wrote:

If the above poster is correct regarding 48 hours notice then the most they could enforce would be the same. Since the property owner does not own the RV I doubt that the inspection of the interior will be enforceable, even if the OP signs the contract. Simply because you signed a contract does NOT make everything in the contract enforceable, regardless of what most seem to think.
I would either, 1. Move on, 2. Cross out the clause and sign the contract, 3. Note in the contract that premises is defined as the exterior property and not the RV.
