RV refers work by transferring the "heat" in the refer to the outside, via the coils in the back. If the temperature outside gets too cold, your refer will stop working, in fact it may freeze up and fail.
Some combat this with a 100watt bulb in the back of the refer.
In Montana you may not need a dehumidifier, it's really dry there in the Bitterroot
The area you are trying doesn't get a cold as out east, like Billings or Great Falls, but it still can get to -20 or -30.
I would skirt, heat the underside, get a large tank, etc, etc
