Here are the odds:
Auto deaths in the US every year= Over 300,000. :E

You are traveling on the road with an RV. Your chances of being killed while on the highway in your RV are way, way, way, way, way, way, higher than even seeing a tornado let alone being killed by one.
The storm chasers try their best to run into tornados and even they, with all the high tech equipment they have; have a REALLY hard time doing that.
Do the best you can; try to be careful and move on with life. Life is a fatal disease anyway. :E

My advice? KNOW the county you are in when driving. Weather alerts are always given per County locations, which County a tornado is headed, which County's will be affected by severe storms, etc.
This was MY first scary revelation when a tornado alert came out. I had NO idea what County I was in while traveling down the road. So I couldn't tell if I was driving IN to it or away from it. :R
I now have a big color coded county map for each state. When I am putting together my trip routing for the day I also mark it on the county map.
Getting off the interstate is the FIRST thing you should do. I try to find a building wall to get up against with the MH. That and don't park near or under trees!
I've been thru 3 while driving down the road and survived all of them only to have a tornado touch down in the CG I was staying at.
