Opinion on winterability of my rig
I have a Class C Coachmen Freelander 2006. The freshwater tank is actually in the platform of the bed (so in the heated area). What is exposed under my coach is: -Black Tank -Grey Tank -Thick...

Along with the obvious of keeping water lines from freezing YOU will be VERY VERY cold staying in a Class C. I would fully winterize the lines not try and keep them warm. Too many plex fittings on thin small plastic water pipes to fix when they freeze.
I did 4 days at just below 32 degrees during a cold snap in Florida. No high winds AND it only gets cold for a few hours just before dawn.
Which is Unlike in the Northern areas where when the sun goes down the temps plummet and stay there for the 'duration of the evening'. I only had to deal with a couple of hours of cold and didn't like it.
It was 'very' uncomfortable for just those couple of hours.
All the windows are going to be your enemy. Including the huge windshield and side windows in the cab area.
I found covering each and every window, including the windshield, vent AND then blocking off the cab area made somewhat a small dent in trying to keep the inside of the coach warm.
Just saying from experience IMHO, JMHO "I" would not RV to an area that cold with a MH.
