Paperwork

I saw that inspection and it was obviously an arranged demo of what a state inspector does on a Semi Truck. Surely you've seen them on the side of the road inspecting a semi they pulled over, usually with a portable scale too.
Not something they do on RV's. Tho I could see it happening on an obviously and visibly defective RV in very rare occasions
Anyway we have a safe under the bed and keep vaious paperwork in that. If you get one make sure it's not one that can be opened by jamming a Bic pen barrel in the lock.

Was the inspector stopping a private citizen pulling his own recreational RV or a commercial hauler transporting a 5th wheel travel trailer for hire?

That's what it sounds like, the RV was being shipped from the factory to a dealer.

Non-commercial, don't need log book.
Vehicle or parts under warranty? (Tires? Battery?) Good to have proof.
I always keep a copy of shot records for dog in truck. For some time we may need to carry shot records for ourselves.

License and reg about all you need for vehicle. May want proof you own RV. Pet vaccination records.

As to the question about fuel card, best is just a VISA or Mastercard. My bank gives a 3% kick back on fuel. Using a credit card and not a gas company type card allows you to get the best price for fuel.

Depending on how long you'll be traveling you may want to have copies of your birth and marriage certificates. Passports too

I carry the title in case I want to get rid of it or an accident forces the issue.

I don't do fuel cards, MasterCard gets me the best deal and I can fuel at reasonably priced stations.

It looked like the inspector had stopped a family. This was in a parking area and was done with a good video crew. One thing I did think was funny, the driver handed the paperwork to the trooper on a clip board. looked like a woman handed the driver the clipboard. We keep a record of dog shots with us when we travel.

I got stopped in Jan in MD and got a warning ticket for the following
Couldn't find registration (found it before we moved
Handicap permit hanging on rear view mirror
no front tag (not required in NC)
Speeding 45 in a 35
no proof of insurance
