Question about winter in cold places...

gophergrad

My dealer gives 2 years of free storage with purchase, and he has about a million and six RVs stored, including my new CS-S Max (winterized).
But what about the televisions?  Is it safe to just store them in the unit, out in the cold?  Or should I remove them? I can't imagine all those big rigs are emptied out....

Oh, by cold, I mean western Montana, so easily -10F.

Thanks

The television will be fine, safe to store it in the cold.

Minus 10? I remember a few nights that got to minus 40-50 when we lived in your neck o the woods... (at around 5000 feet anyway)

I'd take your battery inside. And maybe your smoke alarm battery.

If you are looking at -30° to -40°, yes, you must remove the Television and bring it in.  It seems from my reading that an LCD TV is good to about -20°.  If you are worried that it could dip to that kind of a cold temp, doesn't hurt to bring it in.

-30/40 - Ya talking windchill or actual?

Well we're in the Missoula Valley, so it's a lot milder here than, say, Bozeman.  I don't think it's been much colder than -15F air temp for even a day or so, for the last 10-12 years.  Thanks guys.
