You have to check each unit, as generalizations don't work.
Many TT model lines, and some lower cost fivers, will have plumbing outside heated space. This is harder to check than it used to be because buyers want "enclosed underbelly" so even entry price models will have a sheet of fabric or plastic hiding everything under the floor.
Premium towable lines, particularly fivers built for the full-timer market, will plumbing in heated space, though that might be below the floor. Some lines actually have heated basements containing utilities, also serving to make for warmer floors. Carriage used to do this for their Carri-Lite and higher model lines, but not for lower priced model lines. At Northwood, heated basement space used to be one of the differences between the Arctic Fox and the lower-priced Nash lines.
