The ThermaHeat RV Holding Tank or Step Heater Pad w/ Thermostat # 277-000163 only draws 4.8 amps so you can get by with thinner gauge wire like 16 AWG which we sell by the foot with # 16-1-1.

For spade connectors to go from the wire to the switch # PK34360 you could then use the # RM-300115-00 and you'd be set.
