We have a residential refrigerator in our Class A. During a recent cold spell (-2F) we lost all of our frozen food due to spoilage. We also lost the stuff in the refrigerator compartment. It seems when the external temperature get colder the unit calls for less and less cooling. The freezer is affected first and the most. I have a PARTIAL solution posted on my blog here:

The main point is MONITOR your freezer/fridge temps closely. The results of having food thaw and then refreeze can be...well... unhealthy.
RV absorbsion fridges also suffer problems from extreme cold weather which can shut them down so it is not really just a residential fridge issue...
