Other than the light fixture, it is all homemade.

Here's mine
Here is a pic of mine, ordered it off line a couple years ago. Two plastic pieces permanently mounted to the ladder. Telescoping pole, stores easy.

Harbor freight has a 20' that telescopes down to 5' or less for $50.00. It fits inside of 2 1/2" pipe that is welded to a plate that I put the toungue jack on. Or you could mount it to your ladder.

Check out these two web sites. Both have multiple options for rv flags and poles. First one seems to carry really good quality products.

Another homemade 5th wheel pinbox mount....not what the OP was looking for but just a way to display our flags in the campgrounds.

With the exception of the $9 photo sensor, made mine from garage parts.

You have to zoom in a bit. Mine is a flagpole buddy. 20 ft tall mounts to the ladder. Had a solar light on top to make sure to light on it all night. I really like the product, switched from a front mount and can see this from a far. The only downside is if there is a lot of tree cover you can't go all the way up.

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. I'm sure I will be able to find a suitable way to display the flag.

Here is mine. I used existing holes and a scrap piece of decking, just longer screws. Sorry pictures don't show the mount

We mounted ours to the Steel plate in front of the (tongue jack).I bored a Alum Tube to have a Very close (Slip Fit) so it didn't make Noise or Wobble,then plugged the other end and tapped it for a 3/4 thread for mounting,then drill a Drain hole! Plug in a (LED Spotlight) and (God Bless the USA)!  Youroo!!

Thanks for all of the input. Seems that a rear mount (ladder) looks great given a proper altitude...

I made the same one as Chevy Two, only I fly the Canadian Flag, when in Canada. Easy to make.

Love all the pics folks!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's ours. I have one mount on the rear corner and one on the front corner both on the door side. Depending on how/where we are parked determines where I put the flag. Take it down at night as I don't have a light yet.

In pic #1, I was curious of how the 5w got level with the slope of the site. But in pic #3, I saw how it got accomplished. With the shovel.
