Wow, some of these prices quoted are more than I paid for my home inspection for a $400K house 8 years ago!!!
OP, unless you are getting a guarantee from an inspector I wouldn't pay that much. If it were me I would take it to a trusted shop (kinda hard from 500 miles away) and pay an hourly rate to have a trusted mechanic inspect it. Its a class B, I don't know of too many issues with a leaking class B. I would be more concerned with condition of engine, transmission and appliances.
Your sticks & bricks Home inspection - normally does not include a warranty or "guarantee" on/for anything.
The inspector lists the items he finds which need attention or repair.
(For example a leaking faucet in a bathroom, roof is about due to be replaced, etc.)
Usually for an additional fee, at close of escrow, a warranty can be purchased. (Has nothing to do with the Home Inspector).
items covered, and the length of the warranty may vary - usually about 6 months to one year. (And yes - worthwhile! Mine replaced several A/C components when it failed. Parts alone were way more than the cost of the warranty)
Although a MH may have many of the same appliances as a S&B,
it doesn't have an engine & drive train.
OP - As a poster suggested - go there yourself.
Line up a mobile RV service. Do a walk-thru *with* them.
Have the MH checked by a local mechanic.
*Don't* expect or pay for any kind of "warranty" from anyone..:S
