    Hi guys new to the forum and I wish I would of joined sooner. But I just recently moved up to Fairbanks, AK. I am trying to save some money and install all my truck needs for the winter from a block heater, battery blanket(or a trickle), and a oil pan heater. Was just wondering if someone could help me figure it out and how to do it where there is only one wire coming out and not three. Thank you for your help!

    Use something like one of these:
    DEWENWILS 2 FT 12/3 Gauge Indoor / Outdoor Tri-Tap Extension Cord Splitter, STW 15 Amp Yellow Outer Jacket Contractor Grade Heavy Duty Power Cable with LED Lighted Plug, UL Listed, Pack of 3 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WD49C4V



    Just make sure it’s heavy enough gauge. All my cords are wrapped up nicely behind the battery and just plug into something like that. A longer one might be nice but that’s all I could find at the moment.
