as to the question above, they are not disconnecting the wiring plug from the TV, they are just turning off the Inverter, so the 5th wheel/TT/whatever's generator can run the A/C and fridge , without trying to charge the trailers battery's. since the 7 pin plug is connected to the TV, the +12 volts would want to fight the Trailers +12 volts from its on board charging system. while in theory it should not hurt anything, with all the on board computers and******on todays vehicles, it can cause electrical problems, weird input signals to the computers, throw an idiot light. all kinds of things.
but anyway the 7 pin connector stays attached, they are just running the Gen to supply 120 volts to the stuff inside the trailer. and truck is suppling the 12 volts for brakes and turn indicators.
