Overnight at campground do you unhook?

You are stopping overnight at a campground with fairly level pull-through sites, will not leave campground & want to get back on road next morning. Assume utility will be hooked up, my question is do you un-hook and level,extend slides or stayed hooked up to TV and lower jacks then extend slides, or do nothing but extend slides?
Trying to learn based on your experience what works best without doing more than necessary. In a motor home we would just extend slides and relax with a beer. With the fiver not sure that is enough as the frame is not as rigid.
As always thanks,
Jim
  • We put jacks down to stabilize and open slides but do not unhook if just a one night stop. If temp is hot, we plug into electric to run AC.
  • I put the jacks down to stabilize the trailer but do not unhook.
  • Overnight?. we rarely even hook up to services unless I have to dump the tanks. There is nothing on either of our rigs that runs any different on services than off with the exception of the AC. Probably why we try to avoid campgrounds when dead heading.
  • No. Unless I need to stock up on supplies, even then I try to stop to stock up before going to campground.
