If only overnighting while en route on a road trip, it stays hooked up if it can be. Sometimes our truck sticks out into the roadway and has to be unhooked regardless. Otherwise, I always unhook. It is nice to be able to walk around the trailer without having to keep stepping over the WDH. Just remember - stay away from the ball... :R
Hooking back up doesn't affect the time it takes to break camp - it's dumping the 3 tanks and flushing the black tank that takes the longest (we only use FHUs). At some point as I get older, I may start leaving it hooked up more often when it's okay to do so.
Can't think of any technical reason why it might not be good to leave it hooked up overnight. That'd be like saying long road trips would be detrimental from all the accumulated hours of being hooked up.
