How long can 5th wheel stayed hooked up...

To my truck? Arrived back home today (Wednesday) and heading out next Monday. I have taken the load of the truck. Do you think it is ok to stayed hooked up that long?

  • No problem leaving it hooked up. Connect to shore power, with at least 15/20 amp. Unplug harness from truck and leave frig on and loaded ready to go.
  • You could leave it hooked up forever. It won't hurt a thing.
    I'm really not sure why you would ask. What part are you concerned about being damaged somehow?

    Only question would be 12 volt draw from the trucks battery. I know many Ford and GM disconnect the 12 volt to the trailer when the ignition is off. My Ram still has 12 volt with the ignition off. Other than that not an issue.
