Hooked up overnight
We are wanting to head out early Friday morning before daylight. Will it hurt anything (truck or 5th wheel) to hook up Thursday evening while it is still daylight, so we don't have to worry about hoo...

Jayco Eagle HT 5th wheel (~10k lbs) towed with 2016 F-250.
No, it won't hurt a thing. I rarely unhook for an overnight and frequently hitch up the night before a trip so we can just load last minute stuff and go. I'll even do it the night before leaving from camping/vacation to get an early start headed back home. I don't ever drop the jacks and leave it attached to the truck because I'm afraid I'll have a brain fart and damage the jacks by just taking off in the morning without raising them. There's not enough jiggle in the trailer to bug us for an overnight stop to bother with putting jacks down.
