I don't know what the general consensus is; I can tell you from experience that with a blowout "hitting the gas" is very counterproductive...dangerous IMO. With a sudden problem of "sway" with the RV acceleration can sometimes minimize those effects.

With a blowout, or any other sudden change in the tire/suspension systems, take firm control of the steering wheel! Don't yank, pull or over correct - keep it straight. I tell my wife in the event of a "bang" from a tire to stiffen the arms and hold the wheel straight. Then, let off the gas slowly, or you can do it immediately, won't make much difference. Do not brake immediately - control the vehicle. Once you've "stiff armed" the vehicle and have control you can lightly apply the brakes to bring her down. If you apply too much brake you can feel it try to pull to wherever the blown tire is (front) and it will take you there. Moderation. Do not overreact. Don't yank the wheel - keep it straight. Keep a level head.
