That, along with how much we dry camp is why we're happy with an RV one.
My parents and sister have both had refrigerators in their garages that have worked for years. Usually after having been used INSIDE the house for years. I don't believe ambient air temps have a thing to do with it.

I have had several RV techs tell me that RV refrigerators don't do well in cooler weather. And, they don't do well if they are full. I had problems with the one in our Big Sky when we were full-timing in it. The one trip we took after it just became our "camper" it worked fine. Maybe it just needed to be bounced down the road more often . . .
