The ThermaHeat RV Holding Tank or Step Heater Pad w/ Thermostat # 277-000164 each pull 4.8 amps so you'd need a switch that can handle at minimum 20 amps if you plan on powering them all off of the single switch. If this is the case then you could use the Pollak Medium-Duty Toggle Switch # PK34571. This switch is rated for 20 amps so you could use it for all four pads without overloading it, but you could also use multiple switches if you wanted to separately control the pads.
