Sitting in a field of RV's all running a generator at something like a NASCAR event sounds more dangerous than sitting out in a field all by yourself.
I'm not sure how carbon monoxide gets in the RV, the generator sits below floor level and the exhaust system directs the exhaust gas out away from the coach. Carbon monoxide is the same density as air so it won't migrate up or down by itself--there has to be some kind of convection current to move it around. I guess it could be more dangerous in a gas coach if the generator is located beneath the bedroom instead of the opposite end of the coach like a diesel pusher.
As long as your generator exhaust is in good condition there should be no danger of carbon monoxide poisoning.
