Flag Pole Ideas?

I’d like to see & hear what others are doing for Flag Pole ideas? I don’t want anything mounted to my rear ladder and I don’t like the under-tire mounts either. But I want to fly ‘Ole Glory’ at our campsite. Personally I don’t think enough people do (fly our flag). But seeing as both my Parents were ex-military, I’m ex-military and our youngest daughter & son-in-law are both current active duty Security Forces SSGT, We All Love to show off our Pride!


BTW, I will have a bike rack on my rear 2" receiver hitch, so that's not an option either.




Dave…

I fly the flag and also have a red/white and blue light on top of it.

I have a bike rack too and use one of these:

I bought a "Flag Pole Buddy" that I've used on both trailers we've owned. It is the 16' fiberglass model. On the 5th it is mounted to the rear ladder which I see you want to avoid. On our 1st which was an X23B hybrid I mounted it directly to the rear of the HTT using automotive double-sided trim tape. Worked fine for 2 yrs. I removed the trim tape using dental floss and cleaned it up with goo-gone.
Just below the flags (US and Texas) I mount my wifi bridge (my attempt to receive the weak CG signals).

I went a different route for several reasons. We have made several donations over the last few years with flags in honor and support of our troops to which the flags have come back to us after being displayed. With only so many places to display I used one on the front hitch with a c-clamp. The 45 degree house mount fits perfectly on my Mor Ryde and the small c-clamp holds it nicely.

It doubles as a warning for the hitch and displays the colors proudly. Lightweight and stores back in the bag it came in.

It has not fallen off once.

Not sure why you are against ladder mounts.. we have had zero issues with ours.



Even in this kind of wind;



Hope you find what works for you as the most important thing, for us, is to fly our flag.

Gotta have the flag flying!
We use a Flag Pole Buddy too. Used it for last 2 years mounted on the ladder and just love it. No problems. Easy to put out the flag and pole, easy to store the collapsible pole. 16 foot pole shows well above TT.

Happy RVing,
Jeff

I like this setup. How long are your flag poles?

Thanks,

Almost embarrassed to show this, but I will anyway. In haste to have a flag displayed in the campground on July 4 2008, I had an old CB radio antenna base in the truck. The mast was too flimsy so we borrowed the AM/FM antenna off the truck and put a small USA flag on it. Been meaning to replace it every year since then and probably will this year. Some call it southern ingenuity, or worse....maybe it is....have had a few compliments on it, or maybe they were just checking me out.

I know its not the biggest display but I bought one of the suction cup mounted multi flag holders at CW & use it to fly several of the smaller garden size (USA) flags. Sometimes I'll mix in a few other historical patriotic flags. It stays well on the side of the camper and the awning light keep the flags illuminated at night.

I only fly the US flag when visiting in your country. I just wish you guys would show the same respect when visiting here

I just brought 1" PVC pipe and made it so it fits across the A Frame of my hitch, then in the middle, I ran another PVC pipe straight up to clear the propane tanks, then put on a 45 degree angle of PVC pipe about 1 foot long to put the flag in. Works great and easily comes apart for storage. The T just above the propane tanks is where we hang out family name plate.

My father was a combat U.S. Marine 1st Division, 5th Marines served in Korea in 52-53. (He served in the same battles with Sgt. Reckless. (Look up Sgt. Reckless, USMC) He taught me respect for out flag and country. I have also passed it on to my children. When our flag comes down off our flag pole at home, it gets folded properly too.
