I think your idea will work okay but, it seems to be complicating the process. The bilge pump is just something else to cause problems. It can clog or fail. And it will be another drain on your batteries.
Why not mount the shower holding tank below the flood and insulate it?
Eliminate the pump.
If I do that, do I have to add a heating pad so it wont freeze?
I think if you insulate it well it won't freeze. Could you install a small floor vent so the heated interior air could circulate around the tank? It would be a little more work but, you wouldn't have to deal with a pump or heating pad.
I would use a heating pad before I went with your pump system. I think simple is better.
