12 volt recepticle question

I have a back up camera on my TT, It uses the DC plug in. I want to purchase TPMS. It looks like it uses the DC plug as well. What do you all do?
Thanks

Sorry, I don’t do anything, however 12V “Y” adapters or triple 12V tap adapters can be purchased to plug multiple 12V accessors into a single 12V type (cigarette lighter outlet). Alternately, albeit more work and effort or cost if paying someone, another 12V outlet can be added.

If you buy the TST TPMS, your monitor doesn't have to be plugged in all the time. You plug it in to recharge its internal battery then drive 2-3 days (or more) before you must recharge it again. You can even charge it overnight in your trailer if/since you have a 12v cigar lighter type outlet in it.



Also, I have a 2nd plug in my truck's console and a 3rd in the back seat.

One of these for $15 on Amazon



I have two power ports on the dash of my TV. I'm beginning to think I may have to get two of these Or maybe one of these:



When my Son travels with me he monopolizes two USB ports with his business phones. Can't get him to leave work at home. But I guess, being as he's the owner and only has one other employee it's tough. I was there once too.
