Is it a bad idea to leave trailer hitched to TV for weeks/months on end?

Curious if this is a bad practice, leaving the trailer hitched to the tow vehicle. Potential wear on TV shocks/suspension etc? No issues with trailer I presume? Appreciate any feedback, thanks!

They should be able to do it, just confirm with your orientation advisor ahead of time - I did and they confirmed it would not be an issue.
