Simple Question - Charging from the TV

I have a simple question: When parked with a TT with the TV off, but still hooked up, does the TT draw power from the TV battery as well as the TT battery?

Sorry for the simple question, but I know it'll get a quick answer here. Thanks!

Joe

depends on your vehicle.
some cut the charge line when vehicle is off . some don't .
you'll need a simple volt ohm tester to find out

as was said, depends on the vehicle. some come with an isolator that prevents the TT from draining the TV's battery.
