Expert Reply:
The Tekonsha P-3 will go into a sleep mode after several minutes of no activity. The power draw while in this sleep mode is so small that it is really not worth worrying about, certainly not enough to discharge your battery.
If it would make you feel better, you could unplug the harness from the rear of the unit if the vehicle will be left for long periods of time.
I attached installation instructions as well as a video of this product being installed onto a similar vehicle as your below for you to check out.
