I would make sure to carry them in a well vented compartment. While not as bad as gas, the diesel fumes could build up and be explosive.
There was a news piece recently on people in the Vancouver area crossing the border to get gas, and putting gas cans in their trunks. One got rear ended and blew up.

Nonsense.
The fumes over a can of diesel fuel will not reach combustible level, let alone explosive, until your RV basement ambient temperature reaches about 600°F.
Have you ever tried to light a container of diesel with a match? You can put that match out in the diesel.
The only reason for any sort of ventilation in that hold with two 5-gallon cans of diesel is if you haven't got the cans properly closed AND the ambient temperature is at least 300°F AND you don't want the place smelling of diesel later on. Or you are in the habit of slopping diesel fuel all over the place.
