Unhooked for the night.

There is a current thread on the 5th wheel area and it got me to thinking about what travel trailer do.

So here goes. When you stop for just one night, regardless of where, do you unhitch?

We stay hooked up when just overnighting unless we plan on going somewhere that night; like visiting a relative or going to a special attraction/food.

Same here - except I may not even bother with hooking up to water or electric. The house battery is already completely charged from driving, and I usually travel with some fresh water in the tank anyway.

I never stay just one night at my destination - It doesn't leave enough time to enjoy the location.
