Our daughter is moving March 1 so we will need a caretaker with their own RV for when we travel in 3-4 weeks periods in April, May/June and September, October/November. We can provide power but no water or sewer. Our well is shallow and has non-potable water and we have a newer septic system with no dumping (contractor said it is illegal).

1) how can you obtain an occupancy permit in a home that does not have drinkable water? OK, so maybe you have a fancy water filter system and the outside spigots aren't connected to it. ...Well there is such a thing as a faucet to garden hose adapter that replaces a sink faucet's aerator. I have one. Fill kits for waterbeds use them. RV water hoses work on them as well.
2) Even with the best contractors unfortunate stuff can happen. I don't know of anyone, especially an RVer, who would serve as your proxy if there are issues with the contractor while you're away - assuming the contractor is performing work while you're away. You couldn't indemnify me enough to take on that role. That is your job. One of you should be home to oversee the work.
