Does any one remove the TV for winter storage?We just picked up our CS-S,it is put away in outside storage lot.Not sure how easy it would be to remove for winter, or is it necessary.

You might want to call the factory and get their opinion.  I leave my TV intact in my Silver Shadow and have done so in freezing temperatures without any issues.  Good question however and have always had a concern for things like laptops, batteries, etc. but to date, no issues encountered on this end.  

Here is a discussion from an RV group that discusses it:

Oh, great!  Another thing to worry about. >:)   Seriously, not too concerned where I live as low temps are not usually that extreme.  However, the one thing I had not thought about is the possibility of condensation that might be caused by rapid temperature changes.  I suppose this could happen if power had been disconnected to the TV while it was very cold, then powering it up while still cold.  In such situations, I will try to remember to let temperatures rise slowly and equalize before turning on TV.

2 motor homes , 1 trailer and Wisconsin winters of 25 below zero temperatures.  All stored outside or unheated storage unit, 1 old style tv and 2 flat screen tv's, never removed, never a problem with any, when taken out of storage.

Only item I remove is the house battery (batteries) and vehicle battery if a motorhome and bring them in to a heated area. I keep them charged on a "Battery  Tender" charger.  Leaving the battery plugged in on the trailer converter for long term storage can possibly can ruin the batteries.  I am not sure about the unit in the T@B, if it is a smart charger or not.

Also, I bring the fire extinguisher inside, don't know if you have to or not.

I have an LED TV and leave it stored outside in the Iowa winters. I bring in any batteries, liquids, food. Everything else stays.
