For our cross-country trips I would bring along the title to the TV & TT, in the event of a worst-case scenario in which one or both are totalled.

Maps, in addition to your phone/GPS.
Vehicle & TT registration/insurance papers.
Emergency phone numbers written down, not just stored on your phone.
Sun glasses and spare glasses, if you wear them.
Wallet, Drivers license and Credit Card.
(Last summer I was four hours into a 12 hour trip when I realized I forgot my wallet)
Make sure your house is locked and do a walk around your rig before you leave.

Enjoy your trip.

A recovery strap is a heavy nylon type tow strap.
