There'd be no consumption leaving the wire connected with nothing plugged in the socket. I wouldn't leave the TV connected even when switched off, as there may be some draw internal to the TV. TBH, I'd disconnect the cable anyway when it's not in use and put the battery terminal cover on for safety.

But that's just me, *anal* as usual about this stuff.

yeh we disconnected the tv once we turned of just incase it did draw any power out of the battery. We got 2 car batts and a lesuire and we got 18 hours out both of them so think we hit lucky from the scrap yard where as the lesuire battery that came with the caravan itself drained within 2 hours but we think its had it day and going to purchase a new one. We had a fantastic week thou and from all the help mainly from jax's re aireal and the tv etc gave the kids alot of entertainment while the rain was coming down and we was stuck in caravan thanks again jaxs once in a milion 4 helping out.
