To me, the real problem is not generators or gas cans, it is the fact that you don't have a home that is suitable for the RV lifestyle.
To the OP: I think you have a good outlook on this, trying to be safe and yet prepared for the road. If it was me, I'd have a metal box disguised as a plant flower base outside the garage for gas storage. You can paint it with appropriate colors to depict anything you want.
If the generator is adequately drained (entire fuel system), I wouldn't worry about it as a fire hazard inside the garage. Then again, if you buy a big enough storage container, you can put that outside, too. It might involve having an easy opening to get that big generator in he box. That can be your design challenge, lol.
Good luck with your fuel storage!
