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...

Do you plan on being in a campground, or boondocking, I can't even imagine trying the latter. As DeCrema said, cold is relative, as is the "winterability" of your rig. Winterability in Va is far different than it is in someplace like, say, Northern NY or Michigan. Which I doubt you'll find many, if any CG's open up north in the winter.
If you plan on being in a CG, with hookups,
1. Fill your fresh water tank & use that, as you say it's above the floor under the rear queen, (as mine is).
2. If you haven't already, invest in a ceramic heater, to augment the furnace.
3. As far as the waste tanks, you can go the more expensive way and add the tank heaters, (mine came with them), or go the antifreeze way, ( which as you say, can be a PITA).
4 Make sure your propane is FULL, before you start, depending on how long you're going to be there, may even want to take a spare 20 lb tank with you.
GOOD LUCK :)
