I would if I could. Only thing I can think of is corrosion in the connector for the lights. Some dielectric grease would take care of that.
I have been leaving my boat hitched up to my truck under the carport. This might sound like a dumb question, but is this ok to do or would it pose any kind of damage to truck or boat trailer over an extended period of time?

It'll be fine. You can leave it a year, and shouldn't have an issue, and long as you pull it occasionally so that the ball doesn't rust to the coupler. Even if it did, driving it a few blocks will clean it out.

Only negative I see is that I'd would make it awful easy to take your entire rig. If you don't use it very often I would disconnect the battery on truck.

i leave mine hooked up often for a week or more. i've never had a problem. Like BRM said, do not let it sit so long the ball rusts or you will lose your ground, and even then, like he said, after a couple turns the lights will ground and will resume working.

Please be aware that leaving your boat hitched to your truck can cause health problems. See a boat and truck ready to go fishing can be depressing if you are not going fishing. It can however be easily treated by going fishing much more often.
mine is welded to the truck, never leave home without it
