Looks like I'm out of step with most responses - I see absolutely NO reason to unhook unless you need the truck by itself or you are horribly off level. Level side-to-side with blocks under trailer tires. Level front to back by putting blocks under the back tires of your truck. Get it within an inch or so. We commonly "dry camp" at truck stops and rest stops - they consider putting jacks down as "camping" - using blocks to get level is considered "resting". We've been towing for 40 years - while unhooking is not complex, I think there is a greater probability of equipment damage or human injury by constantly and unnecessarily hooking/unhooking. If you don't need to unhook, don't! (The only place this doesn't apply is when using a tent trailer where you have to unhook to get the beds extended.) That's just my opinion, of course...
