Freeze up is usually low freon or fan not working. If under warranty I would take it in for repair. I had one with a bad control module where fan would shut off when temp reached but compressor stayed on causing a freeze up condition
In my life I have found the above to be true... HOWEVER on most RV units there is a sensor that is poked into the evaporator coils to detect just this should it happen.. I have heard of cases where it was not so poked.
And I've seen strange things happen when the intake air filters get dirty (The filter that is inside the RV in the A/C air return)

Clean, or at least inspect filters often. (Within the last week in my case)
