Do i really need a TT with enclosed underbelly?
Live in eastern NC. What does enclosed really mean or include? Just a single thin plastic lining?

I think it is of more value to just keep pests and road crud away from your underside. I don't think there is too much insulation property there, although some TTs also pump warm air from the furnace into the underbelly, so that could be important if your FW tank is mounted below.
On our Starcraft 235 fb, all the tanks are beneath the floor. Without the coroplast, there are all the wire and fittings for tank monitors, etc exposed to road mud, slush and salt ( in winter). The underbelly keeps all that protected from the elements.
On the other hand, the underbelly keeps you from seeing what is going on, or from identifying any leaks...until the water seeps out of the coroplast. I pulled one end of my underbelly down and found my FW tanks were sagging quite a bit. I ended up taking the coroplast completely off and adding additional support to the tanks, then reinstalling the underbelly. If I hadn't peeked, I might have dropped my Fw tanks along the highway.
