I suspect what they were looking for, were "hitchhikers". Like underneath your RV or on the roof.
I live on a lovely lake that is plagued with Aquatic Invasive Species. Nobody brought these things to our lake deliberately - they rode along on visitors' boats/trailers. As I travel the USA, I see the devastating effects of pine beetles on our forests - spread via campfire wood (among other ways). Maybe there's something in NY that California really wants to keep out of their state, hence their attention to your RV?
Not only would I have allowed an interior inspection - I would have offered a flashlight, some cold water and a sandwich.
