Disconnecting the Trailer Connection when staying Overnight.

Hi everyone, I have a question for you. We have a Kodiak Travel Trailer and it has Dual Batteries in it, it is towed with a 2017 Silverado 1500. I always disconnect the trailer's electrical cable ...

My battery is good for about two days at least. The lights and pump and phantom loads are the only drain.

I could turn on the furnace and the hot water heater plus the exhaust fans if I wanted to increase the battery drain.

If I were to boondock I would certainly upgrade the system but then I would also have a generator.

Over night, not an issue connected or not.
