In my decades of RVing, I have never heard of a P trap in the frige drain.
I have never seen a difference with the frige performance with or without the plug.
It usually does not make a difference when camped. But, in transit, the refer can actually pull outside air up into the refer. Ideally, you want the P trap to make the refer the most efficient. The install manuals do not state to do this, it is just a good idea to do to make the refer more efficient. I believe Dometic feels the end plug small holes help stop air intrusion. Doug
