There can be no comparison between a vehicle engine running on propane and an RV that is using propane for refrigeration, as far as a safety concerns in a filling station.
The fact that an RV refrigerator uses a small flame to boil the water ammonia mixture in the system. This flame is somewhat open to the atmosphere and hence could be a source of ignition of fumes from a gasoline spill at a gas station. What are the chances? IMO not great enough to turn off the propane when fueling.
