This is probably one of the best topics I have seen on this site. Inside an RV, regardless of size, is the last place you want to be during a tornado.
I am fortunate to have significant training in meteorology so I keep track both of longer range forecasts and shorter, up to the minute weather information while camping. I always try to camp at places with WiFi so as to have access to solid weather information. I set up an alert for hazardous weather based upon where I am. I also monitor the radar watching the weather in comparison to where I am and I know from years of experience what hazardous weather looks like and what tornadic cells look like.
The bottom line is this: PREPARE. PREPARE. PREPARE. Know what you are going to do in the event of severe weather and take action early. If you wait until things get hairy before making your move, you might as well ride it out.
Also, if you are in a park without a severe weather/tornado shelter, you can take shelter in the lowest lying area you can find.
