I hope they are secure and probably fused??

Actually we do know what solenoids amp draw is and we do know what a heater amp draw is.
Mine just happen to be ~ the same.
That's why you can use the same circuit, as long as they can only run one at a time.

I run the same source with an on-off-on switch for stuff all the time.
My line lock & electric reverse for an example.
Plus a few things on my company vehicles also.

I also told him to find out what each circuit was pulling, so it would be save to use.

I'm putting a 30 amp fuse in on the bottle heater.. My heater says it pulls 18 amps. Going by the chart my 10ga wire should be enuf for the heater.

My 2 cents, I like to go about 5 over, so I would use a 25 fuse.
I've been on fire a couple of times and get really picky about my electrical system.

Obviously I have a completely different deal then you guys, mine is a monster,
so I have a dual fire system, both to pass tech & keep my butt from burning.
I have nozzles on the fuel cell, both headers, back of tunnel ram, my stomach, and the MSD box.
I always recommend an extinguisher, especially in a power adder combination.
I also have some in the trailer and 2 on the golf cart in case I catch fire at the big end.
You never know if they will see you in trouble???

Good thinking & good luck.
