You do not need to remove the air pressure from the Trailair Air Ride 5th Wheel Pin Box - Lippert 1116 # LC155943 anytime you unhook from the pin box but it's always a good idea to check the pressure once you're connected to your tow vehicle again just to make sure it's at the proper level.

I will say that if you're planning on being at a campsite for a while (like a week or two) then it would be beneficial to release some of the pressure to increase the life of the air bag. If you're only camping for the weekend you shouldn't have to mess with it.
