Mine are left in the trailer. However I live in a relatively temperate location. If I lived somewhere where the temps were below zero for expended periods I might consider moving them inside.

Do a search- this has been discussed before and the consensus was that it is ok to leave in during the winter. I leave mine in year round.

when a tv is shipped via truck freight it may sit in a trailer for weeks before delivery in sub zero temps.

Since I store my TT away from home, I take them out for the winter.

I remove my TV. One less thing reason to break into my trailer when it is stored for the winter.

I leave mine in, as for the weather hurting them I do not think that is an issue.

Al I see you're in West Virginia. I think you'll be OK leaving it in the camper
as far as cold.
As mentioned by others if there is a theft possibility you should remove it.
Mine is parked at home and I feel fairly safe about leaving it in there all
winter.
I -think- this issue about LCD screens freezing came from early lap top
computers. When they first came out some could be cracked by being
left in a cold car in the winter.
I believe frozen cracked screens are not so much a problem now days.
Obviously theft is always an issue to be considered.

TV's get shipped all around the world in all kinds of weather and temperatures, and, they are probably subjected to more vibration and bumps than anyone's RV goes through for the winter.
Being that they should NOT be turned on from a deep cold period, you should be okay. If I was going to "awaken" the RV from a long storage period, I would want to gradually bring the temperature and humidity up to a reasonable setting before "firing up" any of the major appliances.
Just my 2 cents.

Thanks again,
