You would not really damage the air bag if you left air in the bag, but just for good practice, I would deflate the bag if it's going to be parked for any length of time. This would keep any pressure off of the bag and fittings while it is in storage.

For just a week I would leave the pressure in the bag and not think twice about it. It's incredibly rare that we ever hear about air bag issues with the Trailair and I am sure most people just leave it inflated so I would easily assume you'd be fine either way.

I would recommend keeping a minimum of like 5 psi in the bag so that you know it will retain it's shape if you park it.
