I assume it is OK when overnight camping to leave the Travel Vehicle electrical connection to the POD  connected even after connecting the POD to Shore power, but am not certain if this is advisable. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

This question came up in another discussion a little while ago, and it was said that it is OK to leave the pod connected.  I have disconnected the TV when I have done it in the past.

Yes, it will just top off the battery on the TV, no problem.

That may be TV dependent.. ours has a relay, if in a key off condition, the 12v connection is dead at the bargman connector. Was one of the things I checked back when we first got our first TT.
