Question about single axle travel trailer insulation

What are some brands/models of single axle, lighter weight travel trailers that have an enclosed underbelly? I want one that can withstand small amounts of colder weather without the tanks freezing.

Thank you!!

Underbelly covering is only one factor for cold weather. The tanks need to be insulated and depending on how cold they may need heaters.
Whats your floorplan that you want?

Arctic Fox is brand makes 4 season TT but you wont find many single axel trailers that would be built to that standard. Many TTs only have tarp type material on underside. One could use/attach foam board to an aluminium skinned under belly. I looked at older HR Navigator the under belly was harder spray foamed that was undercoating . The really solid fiberglass bay doors also were foamed.
Without heating, insulation only slows transfer of heat. Long term below freezing stuff will freeze. Most TTs have exposed dump pipes. They could be foam pipe insulated and have heat tape applied . Need 5-7 watts a foot . PVC pipe need heat trace attached with foil tape.
