We do way more boondocking than campgound camping. Everyone is spot on in this thread, only thing I can add would be to disconnect the cable from the TV. Unless you have installed a battery isolator your TV and trailer batteries will be connected. You can drain the battery on your TV if not careful.
We've never had a problem with any kind of draining of the TV battery by leaving the cable connected. There should be no voltage from the TV to the rig if the TV is turned off. I could be mistaken -- I have been before!

Hellroaring Battery Isolation

I've always put an isolator on my truck. Possibly the newer trucks have some type of protection for this. I've never put a voltmeter on the charge pin when the truck is off to know whether or not that wire stays connected to the battery without the use of an isolator.
