Here are my questions:
1) Is this for the frig when RVing in cold weather?

Never seen anybody with a heat source in frig. But have not looked very closely either. Have I been missing something? We never protected the coils from freezing in any of our RV’s since our first trailer in 1986. Is this something maybe I should start doing?

Thanks for reading
