That single switch is only good for 20 amps and the 12V heaters will draw
10+ amps. Each heater pad would require a separate switch. I expect it serves one tank OR the switch controls a remote relay which will turn on multi-tank pads. With a relay they would not have to run heaver wire up to switch panel and of course more switches. But you would not be able to control which pads are on. Not good if one tank is empty.
My 353RL does not have tank heaters. Your switch is in the Generator Switch position on panel. I placed remote thermostats by my tanks to monitor temps. Have not camped in extended cold below freezing to be an issue. This post has me thinking more about it now though.
