Yeah I'm not sure if I will ever put up a decent size house and if I did it won't be any tIme soon. I will prob build a small cabin with a small septic system and that would be it. I will have to find the phone number and meet with the guy. I plan on having the pole a couple feet in on my property and for now have a small outdoor panel on the pole. Then I can just run a cord to the camper and over time dig a trench to run underground power

Yes,there are power lines that are across the street because the closest house is on the other side of the road. When I first got the land I called someone and that's who told me about the $12 a foot thing. I tried to find same number again and ended up with someone else that said they don't serve my area, so I will have to look around. I hope there won't be any problems because I see a couple other campers on my way up that have power to them. I am an electrician in nj but I know ny does things different, I was figuring on putting a 100 amp service on the pole and then run a extension cord as temporary power to camper. I have the camper about 70 yards off the road

Saw the video after I posted before,did you end up getting new batteries yet. I have the 3panel kit from harbor freight but haven't hooked it up yet. I just figured having power on the land would be easier for heat and water in the future

Can you tell me about your setup, seems the biggest thing is the batteries when you get into solar. I won't have to much electrical use but would like to dig a well and have some sort of heat so the pipes don't freeze. At some point I would build a small cabin and at same time don't plan on using a lot of electric, it will be a get away for hunting and a place to take the kids to get them off the computers when they get older.

Thanks for the replies,does anyone know what power company covers the Montgomery county area,last time I called who I thought it was they said they don't cover that area. I do remember talking to someone on the phone a while back and them telling me it would be $12 a foot to run the power from one side of the road to where I put the pole. I just thought it was strange that I have to install the pole

You would think they would get bigger upstate,some guy shot a 850lb bear in northern nj a couple years ago, but I guess all the garbage they have to eat let's them get big

I have a small camper setup and I would like to get power to it. I was told that I have to install a pole since the power is on the other side of the road. Does the power company install poles if I buy the pole,I am an electrician so would do the service myself. Also does anyone know who to call about the power,I am in Montgomery county next to sharon springs. Thanks for any help

Hi everyone. Just introducing myself on here even though I don't live in ny so I'm sure I will get some slack for that lol. I have a 20 acre piece of property in Montgomery county, Canajoharie. I have had it for the last year and plan on making some small food plots and a nice place to bring my kids growing up. I grew up in northwest nj so I am not a city slicker and the only thing that keeps me here is my job. Anyone else in the canajoharie area. Would be nice to meet some more locals since I do come up almost every weekend when weather gets better,thanks everyone and looking forward to learning some new stuff
