Why are people only concerned about that tiny refrigerator pilot light when fueling and not that much larger water heater flame, or possibly the furnace flame?
Because most people don't ever have a desire or need to run the water heater or furnace while driving. They don't need the hot water while driving and they use the cab heat in the motorhome or the tow vehicle to keep warm.
The fridge comes up in question because people want to use it to keep their food cold while driving for 4+ hours.

I always turned these things off when fueling however. I was never comfortable with an open flame while fueling however small the risk.
