Good luck!
If the freezer is built like a refrigerator but has no "fresh food" section, then I imagine it has an automatic defrost cycle for periodic melting frost off the evaporator coil. That melt water drips down into a pan and subsequently is evaporated by fan-driven air blown across the coil in normal operation. If that pan and the air moved by the fan are well below freezing, that water might refreeze and ultimately back up condensate onto the evaporator coil. I don't know how a "garage-ready" freezer might be built differently, but I imagine disposition of frost on the evaporator coil might be the main concern.
