OC I really like that unfortunately I have a pin box cover that would just crack if I tried to put a bolt through it to the pin box. For now, we will keep our ladder mount flag holder I guess.

OC is that something you fabricated or bought? I have the same pinbox and would love to have the same setup.

Mine is mounted on the rear ladder. Flies high enough to be seen in front of MH. It is a two piece pole. When not in use, I store it in the original plastic bag inside the rear bumper. Purchased from CW.

I fabricated it out of scrap pcs of pipe and steel plate. The light is controlled with a dusk to dawn switch so I don't have to remember to turn it on and off.

I would wager that little problem could be overcome.

I bought a collapsible flag pole several years ago at Walmart cheap it was a NASCAR one but I use it for our country flag. It's about 16ft high. I attach to rear latter. Works great. Collapse to 4ft. You can buy at CW but the want an arm and a leg for them. Later RJD

That set up is great. Did you purchase it somewhere? Or is it homemade?
Thanks,
