Knowing how RVs are made, I doubt it would make any difference where a lithium cobalt battery catches fire.
For lead acid, keeping them segmented off so not to breathe sulfuric acid vapor makes sense.
Failure mode on an iron phosphate battery is fairly benign. You don't get an impressive fire from them. The electrolyte is not flammable. Also the energy density is too low.
Don't confuse iron phosphate technology with lithium cobalt.
As for discounting small electronics as harmless, plenty of vehicles and even homes have been destroyed by a fire from small lithium cobalt batteries.
