While Brian addresses the question of why, the how is really not hard.
There should be an unterminated set of 12V wires in the bay, prolly near where the factory heater would be mounted. These will go to a 12V heater, if you can find one that is reliable (they seem to keep letting the smoke out, and stop working). If you pull down the 34DS firefly 12V harness schematic, it will show the number that should be on those loose wires.
In the firefly panel, under floor plan options, my 28SS has option for "tank compartment". Turn it on, and I have control for the heater and display for the tank comps temperature. I suspect the compartment temp sensor is built as part of the harnesses, so you may have the temp display without having to add a thermocouple.
Note: this is what I found on my non-explorer 28SS, but yours should be similar.
