Any Class C *WITH* ducted heated holding tanks?

Hi Folks!

Thanks in advance for your kindness and considerations. I've been lurking and shopping the past few months and trying to collect all mfr offerings with ducted heated water tanks. I can always add pads to a ducted area along with additional insulation, but I doubt I can add forced air heat without a lot of modification.

If you own a Class C and know that you have ducted holding compartments, please let me know the model and year so I can target in my searches. Especially ones that have the "winter package" option!

Much appreciated!
Class C

    My '98 Coachmen Santara 315QB has ducted heated holding tanks and the fresh water tank inside, under the bed, and the plumbing runs all within the "insulated" shell. I've used it in sub-freezing temperatures once or twice, without incident, though it can get a bit drafty inside if it's particularly cold out.

    Thank you for that! You just reminded me that I had heard about tanks being under the bed inside etc. I have more googling to do!

    My 1987 Citation Supreme had duct heated waste tanks. The fresh water was within the heated area of the living quarters.

    My current tanks are enclosed but not heated. I added a 120 volt outlet and use a small car warmer type heater. The heater is controlled by a manual thermostat. I use the inverter to power the heater when traveling.
