Make sure you get the water out of thee ice maker. I use some towels and paper towels. Its hard to reach but is another ice point.
Why worry about the water in the ice maker? It's used to freezing and eventually evaporates off if you crack open the doors for storage (highly recommended).

I would propose a couple of reasons:
1) Mold potential as weather is not always going to be freezing cold and warm weather from a sealed door could promote mold. If the doors are left open, this will just add moisture into the cabin space. Have you been using well or city water? One might have chlorine to slow growth while the other does not.
2) As water dries, minerals are sometimes left behind coating the tines of the ice maker. Over time, the ice surfaces could become contaminated and ice may not release as easy as pitting may develop.
3) Just germs in general. How would you sanitize the ice maker after winter?
It only takes a few minutes to clean out the water. Maybe you won't have any issues. I prefer to side on the edge of caution.

eh maybe. It's so dry here I never worried about it, but the Redwood was my first ice maker.
