Hi Doug,
Dometic says to not operate the fridge below -6 C (21 f).
Norcold said that below 32 degrees (F), the refrigerator would not operate correctly, and that at temps of ~ zero (F), damage “could” occur.
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.
Here is a (not great) picture of the Cold Weather Kit.
Simply a Fuse, stick on heater (~20 Watts at 12 volts DC) element and a thermal switch so the unit won't run when it is warm
