Plug-ins

OK troops, for those that have the tire pressure monitors, GPS systems, rearview camera systems and any other systems you use your 12 volt plug-ins in your TV for--- where do you plug all of them in at? I have a 2007 HD Chevy and can only find three total and one is in the storage bin between the seats? How do you plug all you stuff in or do you direct wire the items?

I direct wire, better connections, and you can fuse the item properly. You can hide the power wires better also.

Same as Ozz and make sure you fuse them.

Buy a 4 way connector that plugs into your existing plug.

I have CB hardwired, GPS in cig plug for portability when I rent a small transpo car as I did to get around SF, Doran pressure monitor in extra 12 volt plug. I also have a small inverter that I use occasionally with laptop, use cig plug when needed, GPS has recharge batt.

The two or four way connect is the easies, and you can find them with fuses in-line, or put in-line fuses in yourself.

Editied: p.s., It doesn't look nice with the piggy tails hanging around, but it is easier.
