I had heard that some 7pins will allow the TV battery to work with the trailer. I would want to make sure the trailer doesn't drain the vehicle battery while parked.
I second that. This comes in handy while traveling though. It's nice to be able to stop anywhere for a quick lunch or to use your private bathroom and have working lights. I am unsure if it actually drains the TV battery if everything is turned off. Depending on the trailer, some things do not shut off like monitoring systems or thermostats for example. Being hitched up for a period of time is no problem but if there is no need to have the trailer plugged in to the TV...unplug it.
On a side note, I have in the past parked on slight hills and inclines. In addition to the TV parking brake, I locked the EBC at max as an added security. I would not leave it for more than a day though without starting the TV.
