I see no reason to disconnect the propane tank ever.  I do turn it off at the valve whenever we're not using it

We have had 2 tanks on our 2011  177 since we picked it up in March 2011.  We are like furpod, they are always on until they run out.  As far as the cover goes, ours is hard sided and has seen 5 Michigan winters, still looks great, no cracking.

If you have the soft Vinyl cover it will get brittle when cold and crack if handled. If you don't try to open it or look at the tanks when the cover is cold it will probably be OK. The hard sided cover should be OK in the cold.

I have left mine connected on various campers and trailers over the years without any problems.  Propane is one fuel that you can store almost indefinitely.  It also keeps insects and spider webs out of the connection
