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?

Enclosed Underbellies are a two edged sword. IMO they are in general good since they allow running a lot of utilities such as wiring and duct work in a more protected and semi heated environment and that applies to water and holding tanks. Some one mentioned about the valves being exposed and I think you might find a lot of valves are in fact enclosed/protected in the underbelly. Mine are and have molded cover at the access point for the valves. However, enclosing the underside of a trailer allows for the manufacturer to short change you on the quality of what is installed/run in there and while additional insulation could be installed there, almost no manufacturers do that.
Somone mentioned about gas lines and I think there is a requirement that all fittings not be hidden so they can easily be visually inspected and here again most manufacturers pay no attention to ease of underbelly removal when they typically run those propane lines across the underbelly.
I took care of all my issues when I did a major redesign of my entire underbelly area. I was forced into this because of the need to do a major frame repaint early because of a poor factory job. You can see what I did and how I solved many of these underbelly issue by looking thru the following album and carefully reading ALL THE CAPTIONS since that is where the meat is.
