holding tanks above subfloor?

OK, so here is the deal. Im new to airstreams but just purchased a 24', 1964 tradewind, the frame, shell, axels, bellypan etc. are in great shape, but it is completely stripped on the inside. Basically I have a unit with a great shell and frame but nothing inside, my wife calls it our blank canvas.

My first question (I apologize, I have a few), is it possible to put the holding tanks above the subfloor? We plan on living full time and could possibly be in some colder climates, I figured that if I put all of the plumbing above the floor it would eliminate everything freezing in the winter. I am thinking that I can build the bed, cabinets etc around the tanks to conceal them. Is this something that people do?

Does anyone know where to get holding tanks? I have one original tank, it is made from fiberglass (I think its the black water tank because it has a dump valve). I am definitely on a budget but want to do it right. What size tanks should I get? should I buy them local or order online? I live in Orlando FL, does anyone know any places around that would sell them?

Thank you everyone for looking at this, I know that my thoughts are a bit scattered but I just want to do this the right way because its going to be our home.
