This concern comes up all the time but all it takes is a little logic to defuse it. There are thousands or tens of thousands of RVs on the road every day and 90% (if this poll is correct, and it is probably close) have their refrigerators on. Add to that all the other possible sources of ignition (such as potentially a bad spark plug wire in any of the millions of vehicles that fuel up each day, plus who knows what else), and the fact that mushroom clouds at gas stations are exceedingly rare and it's pretty obvious that any danger is negligible.
have you ever heard of fire investigation? for one thing you question the guy pumping the gas. for some reason the MH people built the gas inlet very close to the frig vent and when the gas ignited he just about messed his pants and he dropped the hose and that made the station erupt into flames. It only takes one idiot to kill a thousand. I don't care to be that idiot.
