Flat screen winterizing?
I'm new to the forum and new to flat screen tv's. This is the first winter for our 2011 Rockwood 2604 and was wondering if I should remove the flat screen for the winter.

Welcome to the forums!

You can bring the flat screen inside to use as an extra if you want...I've left it in the camper through the winter with no issues.

If it is an LCD be careful, the L in LCD stands for liquid, it will freeze!

Honestly?

Remove the screen.

You don't have to worry about cold damages and around here, theft from trailers (even in your own driveway) can be a very real concern.

A nice, easily ripped off the wall LCD is one heck of an enticement for someone to break into your rig....
