Will audio gear be ok in unheated house


I have a cottage.   I drain the pipes and the house is left unheated over the winter.  I have been taking my audio gear home (except for the speakers)  when I leave in the fall  for theft worries, but  mostly because I am not sure  the equipment will be OK in an unheated house in an often damp environment until the late spring when I return.

It is a pain taking it back and forth and I would prefer to leave it there.  Maybe in garbage bags with some bags of dessicant in the garbage bags.

Anybody have any experience with this.  I have been unable to find a good answer searching the web.

 

Thanks

Maybe not the same issues, but I used a vacuum cleaner and seal-able bags, sourced from my mother in law, when we put the "stereo" in storage during our big "expedition". I'm pretty sure it got well below freezing in the unit. Everything survived with no damage I could detect. My old cabin Near Breckenridge, CO was broken into several times, BTW, but high transient population...
