Toy hauler under belly construction

I am looking at a xlr 380amp, cyclone 3800 I would like to know if anyone has seen how the underbelly is constructed . Cyclone says they have insulation and ducted heat in there underbelly with the arctic pack u get 120v heated blankets. Xlr says 12v blankets for the tanks but they make no mention about insulation. Xlr talks about there r factor for the walls ceiling and floor but not the underbelly. Cyclone talks about the r factor for just the walls. I need the best insulation and dual pane windows I travel for work and I end up in some cold and hot places. I know there are a couple fancy toy hauler companies out there but I can't afford 120+ I also like the voltage but the 385 felt to tight

    Our 2012 3950 Cyclone has no factory belly "cardboard". There was no insulation, unless you consider the black plasic below the plywood as insulation. 3 3-inch holes cut on bottom side of main heat trunk...but the way the belly "hangs down"...guarantee it will not keep the tanks from freezing.

    I threw the belly cardboard away. 1.5inch styrofoam on inside edge of the Ibeams, then 1.5 inch styrofoam with ProPanel II steel panels screwed to bottom of I beams. Dropped a remote thermostat sensor into basement: usually 8-10 degrees warmer than the living quarters:))))))


    I'd love to see pictures of this too.
