We very rarely run our furnace as high as 70. During the day it is usually about 67 or 68. At night, 60. The furnace has a 2 inch duct into the belly, where the tanks are. On our prior Montana I had a rear corner of the belly open in freezing weather and it was plenty warm in there. The duct was clear at the opposite corner and it still was plenty of heat.
I don't know the temperature in there nor in the basement storage area. It should stay above freezing, though. I've never had anything in there freeze up, anyhow.
On the water, do whatever makes you comfortable. I understand your concern about filling with hot water. It worked for us but if you have room yet in the tank, no need to risk filling it and not being able to use it.
That white "stuff" on my jacket was either sleet or snow. I had just come back from the bathhouse. You can see the time is almost midnight.
