If the temperature inside your RV is below 32°F (0°C), the thermostat in the refrigerator will never call for cooling.
If you are heating the inside of your RV and want to use the 'fridge, you will need to heat the compartment behind it.
I use a Thermocube® and a 60 Watt lamp and block off 2/3 of the louvers on the access panel; I'm good to -20°F (-29°) O.A.T.
we regularly wintertime camp where it gets into the "teens" at night and in the mid 30's in the daytime and I've never noticed the fridge not doing it's job. Keep the trailer at 68-70 in the daytime and set the thermostat for 45F at night.
Haven't had any need to heat the outside fridge access area.
