We picked up a telescoping pole at the FMCA rally in Wyoming this summer. We put our RVForum flag on it plus we have mounted our cell booster to it like John. Ours attaches to the coach with industrial suction cups, the kind glaziers use to move big pieces of glass. These things are tough! I like the fact we can position the pole wherever we want - back, front, or side. They have an available LED light that is on the very top and positions the light down at the flag inches away if you don?t take your flag down. I just hate glaring lights left on all night that are bright enough to use for a football game!John From Detroit said:I use a Telescoping pole from Sunsetter with a park on base. well originally it had a park on base till I drove over the base (not the pole) Now I stake it and use what is termed an "Eves Bracket" though at th 6' level. Works great. The thing is.. I don't often use it for a flag. Other things however daily.
For example. Just now you are sitting on top of the flag pole.. (Well the Wi-Fi Client that connects to the park router is there.. So..).
I made a swivel pole also and used it for several years. I found it on the ground a couple of times when we came back from our day trips. Sometimes the ground was too hard or there were roots that wouldn?t allow me to drive the rod far enough in the ground.I spent $12 on a 10' piece of PVC pipe and some fittings and made one of those swivel ones. I'm working on a solar spot light for it as we type.
I used rebar also, but drove it about 7? or more in the ground. I like your setup better. I also put a washer larger than the pvc pipe diameter between the pole and the ground, so the pole spins easier and the ground doesn?t tear up the base of the pole.My neighbor host last year used just a thin piece of rebar for hers and it never did work right. I think having the cross bar at the base is the key.
