Dometic 7832 operation in cold weather

Are there any precautions to take operating the Dometic RM 7832 refrigerator in winter conditions? Is it ok to leave the outside vent as is or do I need to add insulation or anything?

We've been operating our Norcold down to 7F overnight this winter without modifications.

The only time we cover the outside vent is when the temp is below freezing, the refrigerator is off and the coach is stored in the barn with the heat set at 50 degrees inside the coach.
