one night stops

Just wondering when traveling cross-country and stopping in a campground for just one night if people leave their 5th wheel attached to the truck. Is it advisable? Or are there possible issues? Only thing I can think of is it may not be the most level.
Would certainly drop rear landing gear for stability.

    If stopping for one night, I usually do NOT and unhitch, and do NOT put the rear stabilizers down because I might forget to raise them before pulling away. (We can put up with it for one night.) My leveling system consists of 2x12 boards, and I will put one or two under one side if side-to-side leveling is needed.

    We do it if we plan on leaving first thing next morning. True it may not be completely level but we haven't had any problems doing it. And it makes it easier to leave.
