Since I’m willing to sleep with one, I would not hesitate using for freeze protection. Having said that, unless the RV was one of the newer designs with all tanks and lines inside heated space, it may provide limited freeze protection. I learned that the hard way overnighting in a Class C with propane heat set fairly high, and it wasn’t terribly cold outside (+/- 20 F as I recall).
