There are steel cross pieces welded across the frame to form a ladder, so to speak, and the front-to-rear 2x3's sit on those. Yes, the ducted heat runs in the floor in a joist cavity.
The tanks sit in between the main frame rails which is where the heat duct runs, so there's no direct tank heat per se, just residual from the warm duct. But the coroplast between the frame rails and under the tanks keeps the cold air out, and there is a layer of reflectix in there also, so the tanks stay usable in pretty cold weather.
Coldest we camped was 5* and still had running water and flushing...I went through 100 lbs of propane in 10 days on that January trip, and that was Murray KY, not the Adirondacks LOL. Also went through about 12 gals of unleaded with the extended run tank on the little 2000w Honda powering a 1500w space heater all night.
