Colorado B.S. Thread

I understand.

 

At least we aren’t Texas! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Texas_power_crisis

 

Who needs a project?

 

Anyone have recommendations or experience on a Bluetooth/WiFi reverse camera that isn't the size of a brick? Preferably one that draws power from the truck, but doesn't require RCA connection to display. Amazon isn't giving promising options but might have to pull the trigger on one there.

 

I know this isn't explicitly what you're looking for. But I really like my wolf box rearview camera. Image quality is incredibly my day. And not bad at night

 

I'm intrigued. Where did you mount the rear cam & bury that wire?

 

the rear cam Rubber bands to the rear view mirror with the same appearance/shape as a rearview mirror. Ran the wire with all my switch wire under the headliner when i set it up. Can be outet hooked up or hardwired (i hardwired because ew outlet).
My camera is mounted on the receiver tube of my bumper. - also note not factory bumpers so more creative options may be needed. I can send pics after this weekend. Im out of town on business.

edit: the picture image is a HUGE fish eye lens that you can adjust the field of view on. I can almost see the ground beneath the bumper and most stop lights if i scroll it up the other way.

 

On my folks farm in VA, they have buried power lines & they don't lose power anymore. Wish we would start to bury our lines out here. Not sure if xcel does this but Dominion does. My best friends neighborhood combined their $$$ and got all the lines buried in the entire neighborhood. No more worries during wind storms & hurricanes! You can't always bury lines but its nice when they are. Don't work too hard out there!

 

In a general sense, isn’t it a bit “impossible” here in Colorado where we have the concept of mining rights and that ownership is different from being on top of the land?

 

Nope that's not an issue for it here. Purely Cost from my understanding.

Almost every new housing development buries them.

 

Good to know - I wasn't sure if the mining rights caused issues.

 

Tossing back a Red Strip with my new drinkin’ buddy, Mr Iguana at his stone wall in Saint Martin overlooking the Caribbean. Plastic drink containers only.
Cheers!

 

Looks Sus, Better lock yourself in Room until time to go.

 

May you have many Dirty Monkeys and much Rum! Enjoy, but remember you will have to return and face the music!

 

My entire neighborhood has underground utilities. Our power was out 18 hours. Unfortunately our neighborhood's source power line feed is above ground sooooo when they lost their power we lost ours. Ohwell. Damned if you do and damned you don't!

 

The entire city of Fort Collins is underground except for the main lines that run between substations. It's entirely possible, just $$$

 

Does anyone here know of any good dispersed camping within a couple hours of Denver that is suitable for a diesel pusher? I’m tired of the camp grounds and want to try some new areas. I may do some scouting this weekend in my truck before heading out next month.

 

Diesel Pusher like this? If so, Wolcott BLM campground. https://maps.app.goo.gl/HD6QgMjpfmhtXmFj9

EDIT: Nevermind, it's closed until May 15...

 

Ahhhh... roughin' it.

 

Anyone have a recommendation for cell signal boosters? Specifically for Verizon and AT&T.
I cannot send or receive calls from my house anymore.
