I figure, an explosion that blows an RV apart isn't going to be caused by leaving the fridge on. If you have a gas leak, something will set it off. Having the fridge turned off is not going to stop the leak. The fridge knows enough to turn off the gas if the flame goes out too many times - had this happen driving through some very heavy wind + rain one time.
Don't hose your fridge (or furnace) vent area with gasoline while you refuel. Keep an eye out for wrong-doers that might want to hose your fridge (or furnace) vent area with gasoline while refueling. Diesel's not going to ignite with the simple sparker in your fridge or furnace, but hosing your vents with diesel will make a mess and smell bad, so avoid it as well.
