i also stay hooked up for overnight stays, with stabilizers down. but i always unplug 7 way, after learning the hard way when it drained my TV battery. had everything hooked up in front of the house for about 2 days prepping for a trip, and wasn't on shore power. battery wasn't dead after just overnight, but probably about 18-20 hours and car wouldn't start. i figure why risk it, 7 way plug is easy to pull for that overnight stop.
Draining the battery depends on what TV you have. Ford TV electric systems only energize the trailer when the ignition is turned on. So leaving the 7 pin connected is not a problem.
