[QUOTE="hempomatic, post: 1626421, member: 335450"] I have an RV that recommends I remove the TV (flat panel LED) from the vehicle if it's going to be below freezing. The biggest problem with the computer is if it's exposed to warm temps immediately after cold. You WILL get condensation in the computer. Water is NOT your friend. Water WILL condense inside the computer if the dew point is above the temperature of the computer body. This is what happens in your bathroom after a shower. The room temp is below the dew point so the water vapor in the air condenses on the cooler surface. I DON'T think long term exposure to cold temps will effect the computer, BUT it should be warmed up gradually to prevent internal condensation before it's used. I would be FAR more concerned with condensation that thermal shock. ken [/QUOTE]
