Terms of Service & Backcountry Safety Disclaimers
Last Revised: November 6, 2026 // Effective Immediately
Welcome to Camp Rocky Road (https://camprockyroad.com). By accessing, browsing, or using this website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the following Terms of Service, along with our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must discontinue use of this website immediately.
1. Inherent Wilderness & Backcountry Survival Risk Disclaimer
BACKCOUNTRY TRAVEL IS INHERENTLY HAZARDOUS. The articles, tutorials, GPS maps, and guides published on Camp Rocky Road pertain to remote wilderness navigation, alpine snow travel, wildlife territory navigation, sub-zero cold exposure, and high-altitude expedition environments.
Field conditions in the backcountry can change in seconds. Flash floods, sudden blizzard squalls, rockfalls, wildlife attacks (including grizzly bears and cougars), hypothermia, altitude sickness, and trail washouts pose serious, life-threatening dangers. All technical information is provided strictly for educational and informational reference. You are solely responsible for your own safety, route preparation, physical conditioning, weather assessment, emergency satellite equipment, and emergency survival training.
2. High-Amperage DC Electrical & Battery Safety Disclaimer
Our guides describe custom installations of 12V and 24V auxiliary direct current (DC) mobile power systems, including 40A+ DC-to-DC chargers, high-capacity Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery banks, high-wattage pure sine wave inverters, and high-voltage photovoltaic arrays.
While 12V DC is commonly considered a low-voltage system, high-capacity lithium battery banks are capable of discharging instantaneous short-circuit currents exceeding 1,000 to 2,000 amperes. A dead short, improper conductor wire gauge selection, or incorrect fuse rating can generate instant electrical arc flash, ignite vehicular wiring insulation, destroy factory electronic engine management computers (ECUs), and cause catastrophic vehicle fires.
Always disconnect battery grounds prior to performing electrical modifications. If you lack formal training in mobile automotive electrical engineering, have all wiring, overcurrent fusing, and inverter installations inspected by a certified RVIA or ABYC mobile electrical technician.
3. Vehicle Dynamics, Roof Load Ratings & Rollover Warnings
Modifying motor vehicles for off-road overlanding—including mounting heavy rooftop tents, 270-degree cantilever awnings, steel armor bumpers, suspension lifts, and deflating tires—fundamentally alters vehicle handling dynamics, braking distances, and center of gravity (CoG).
Exceeding the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) dynamic roof load rating or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) can lead to catastrophic structural failure, cracked roof pillars, rollover during emergency evasion maneuvers, or loss of control on washboard tracks. Camp Rocky Road assumes zero liability for vehicle damage, mechanical failures, frame fatigue, or traffic collisions resulting from the application of advice found on this site. Always cross-reference your vehicle’s factory owner\'s manual and comply with federal highway safety standards.
4. Intellectual Property & Copyright Notice
All original content published on https://camprockyroad.com—including written technical prose, empirical specification matrices, SVG engineering schematics, custom photography, code, and layout architecture—is the proprietary intellectual property of Camp Rocky Road and is protected by United States and international copyright laws. Unauthorized reproduction, automated scraping, content spinning, or commercial republication without express written permission from our editorial board is strictly prohibited.
5. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL CAMP ROCKY ROAD, ITS EDITORS, ENGINEERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER—INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF LIFE, BODILY INJURY, VEHICLE DAMAGE, LOST EQUIPMENT, OR TRAIL RESCUE EXPENSES—ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE USE OR APPLICATION OF INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THIS WEBSITE.
6. Governing Law & Jurisdiction
These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. Any legal action or proceeding arising under these terms shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Boulder County, Colorado.
