Underbelly insulation

I purchased a 2018 Surveyor 266 RLDS. By the back door, it says this trailer has been winterized. Does this mean the underbelly has been insulated also?

It means the water lines have been protected from freezing and the water heater is empty..

Yes it means that the trailer has been winterized by removing water from lines and water heater tank and fresh water tank.

BUT!!!!! You need to verify that it has actually been winterized. My trailer (a new 2021) still had the “Unit has been winterized” sticker on it even though it was no longer winterized when I bought it.

Yes?…. but No, it does not mean the underbelly has been insulated.

Lol, I can see the confusion in my comment.

I was agreeing and confirming with 1100mike when I said “Yes” about the water lines, and was not confirming with a “Yes” that the belly was insulated.

I should have been more clear in hindsight.

You quoted the OP’s question but were responding to post 2? Yes, that is confusing.

Well I was reiterating and confirming what 1100mike said as part of my response to the original OP. I was not responding to the 2 post though.

Yes im confused. One has nothing to do with the other. From the factory it comes winterzied after they field test it. Double check that.
