We do not unhook for overnight stops when traveling long distance. One of the other reasons we went with a dually. We too unplug from the truck.

I leave the truck hooked up at a Walmart. Slides out unless it's really cold or snowing - then they're in.

If we are just staying overnight we’ll stay hooked up. But we’ll crank up the tongue jack if necessary to take a little jiggle out of the trailer when walking around.

We travel with pets and make a effort not to use those overnight spots but when we do so we stay hitched with the jacks down for support and stability.

Same here, like the idea of the truck ready to roll in a hurry in the middle of the night if needed.

I guess I understand the emergency aspect if someone with you is ailing and may require attention. Other then that I can’t see the advantage? To me it’s like the RVer I met who never put out his awning because the wind could blow.
