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...

Because the electric carpets radiate heat into the "basement", which due to the factory design is insulated but not heated.
Hmmm ... maybe I ought to look up your Class C to see what it is. :h
Mine is a "basement" Class C with taller outside storage cabinets and the resulting coach floor that is 4-5 inches higher than the cab floor ... but I have no plumbing down there below the coach's insulated floor level other than black/grey tanks and their 3" black PVC drain pipes between the tanks and their slide dumping valves. The black/grey tanks and short runs of black PVC are kept from freezing with 12 volt heating pads. If I used floor heating pads, I'd be shooting one-half of their radiant heat energy downwards which would be wasting it, so I need to keep all radiant energy constrained to be only on the coach interior side of the coach flooring.
