The gas can on the back of a RV if it did happen to fall of would just break open and spill the gas, no explosion.
The biggest problems with the propane tanks up there is their weight. If they should happen to fall off and start bouncing down the road it would be a bad thing. They would not explode but, I would not want to hit something that heavy at highway speeds. It would be bad.
The next time you’re at a gas station look at the warning / prohibition signs about filling portable gas cans.
They can, and do, generate plenty of static in just normal day-to-day handling. I’d be surprised if they didn’t turn into a fireball sliding down the highway, if not from their own reaction with the road than a passing vehicle
Here’s how fast static can build up from just FILLING a gas can.
