Anything that can freeze, all personal hygiene items like soaps and deodorant, all kitchen cleaning items, as they are subject to freezing and we just simply use those items in the house and resupply in the Spring.
We remove ALL food items, coffee, tea, sugar, spices, everything. Use them in the house and resupply fresh in the Spring.
We wash all bed linens and replace them. We remove all clothing (except some select items) and use them over the winter. Replace in the Spring,... usually with NEW items.
Remove the DISH Satellite receiver and bed-room television. We leave the one in the living room.
Remove all CD's video and audio (we use them in the house or autos over the winter).
Perhaps the better question is, what do we leave IN the camper over the winter?
Answer .. washed and laundered bed linens, bath towels, pots and pans, and dishes and silverware and utensils. Maps, games, camping supplies, fire starters, all the documentation for the camper. Basically, if it isn't wet it can stay in the camper if it's been cleaned and we aren't going to use it in the house over the winter.
When we do winter driveway camps, I take the television back out and clip it back to the wall.
