what is important????

I know this is a loaded question, what is important to me is not important to you so basically I am seeking advice and ideas.

My wife and I will retire in Dec this year, we live in Ohio and I have a son in the military who is on his way to Tyndall AFB, in Panama City, FL (guess where Christmas 2015 is next year). Any way we have been planning a RV trip to Alaska for 6 years. So I am thinking Florida from Jan to mid March, west on a southern route (late March-mid April) and then north (mid-april-mid May) arriving at the Washington/Canada border about Memorial day. Travel to/from Alaska then arriving at Glacier NP around mid-September for the return trip south to Houston arriving mid November, where my other son will be living. Mid Nov-Mid Dec Houston then back to Florida for Christmas 2016 and then finally home after the spring thaw around April 2017.

Now here is the advise I need, What is the important stuff regarding papers, that I should carry with me "just in case". The obvious is auto insurance cards, policies, info on warranties/owners manuals for the RV, but what else?

Of course mail forwarding and banking on line will be established. We utilize a couple of banks, one being a national bank, and we have visa, discover, and AMEX credit cards.

Any ideas?????

Thanks for you help.
