The issue here is that it doesn't seem to be that big of an explosion. The debris fell after the explosion, not sure if the guy knew what he was doing or not, but this thing had too much fireball and not enough force. If I had to put money on it, I'd say he obtained ammonium nitrate that had absorbed too much water and likely used too much diesel. He could have easily packed 1 ton into that RV and it would have taken out most of the block.
After thinking about it, he could have just used the RV as the device, using propane or another gas and an oxygen bottle and turned its internal volume into the bomb itself. It was fuel rich so perhaps oxygen wasn't used at all. On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being weak, this is about a 2. F for effort and effect.
Now if there's "RV" backlash over this, keep in mind that you could turn the average truck bed with cover on it into a far more powerful device than this and nobody would be the wiser. This was a really really weak device -- there'd be a crater if it was even worth mentioning given the size of the vehicle used.
The average medium car trunk has more than enough volume in it to make something that does MUCH more damage.
