Wow, lots of advice. Negative draft, positive draft, electric heaters, foam insulation, and on and on.
Look, it is much simpler than you think. If you are going to camp in cold weather that is ABOVE freezing you really don't need the underbelly heated. If, on the other hand, you find yourself out camping when it is in the 20's(F) then having this feature is a very nice thing. Those who live in Southern California probably don't really need heated tanks but if you live in the Northwest you do.
All the electric blankets and space heaters are also a nice option IF you plan to always be hooked up, or like to run your generators 24/7. If you boondock in the cold this won't be a preferable option. Again, don't over think this. Do what will fit your style of camping the best.
