Winter RV camping

The refrigerator in my trailer is a Norcold.
I called Norcold and discussed this with them.
They said that below 32 degrees (F), the refrigerator would not operate correctly, and that at temps of ~ zero (F), damage “could” occur. (I have used my trailer in below zero temperatures and, so far, the refrigerator still works)
However, they now make (and install on all new Norcold refrigerators), a "Cold Weather Kit" (Norcold part number 634913) that will allow the refrigerator to safely operate down to zero degrees. I am still unclear as to exactly what it does; however I will probably get it just for piece of mind when operating in cold temps. The price is about $80.00. If I do get it, I will post my feedback here.

A "Thermocube" and a 40 Watt appliance bulb do the job for me.

Updated:
Here is the Thermocube® and the 60 Watt lamp I had to use last winter when the outside temperature went down to -15°F.



I also had to block off 2/3 of the vent louvers to keep the wind from blowing away the heat from the lamp.
