This is truly not something to worry about. For starters gasoline fumes sink so they will not contact the fridge flame 2-3 feet off the ground. Also the fume concentration that is flammable is fairly narrow for gasoline - too much or too little and it won't ignite. So yes, if you use LPG you should turn it off, but don't have a nervous breakdown if you realize you didn't 10 minutes down the road. I don't think I've ever read of a gas station fire or explosion caused by a RV's fridge flame.
