I have to come up with some kind of mod to my pin box flag mount also to be able to use it in conjunction with the Tailgater.
On second thought, I make just trash the Tailgater mount and come up with another one that will let me use both at the same time. I like the automatic dusk to dawn light on the flag.

National RV came up with and patented that design just before it went under in the industry crash. The company that bought the remaining assets from the bankruptcy supposedly did it primarily to get that design, but I don't think it's been used all that much.

Sure was a pretty 5er on the inside. Bedroom was spacious. Looks like a major headache if anything would go wrong with either slide.

Well, discovered we had a first time event in 39 yrs of towing yesterday coming home. The passenger side rubber plug came out of the bumper and deposited itself and TOWTA's laundry board somewhere between Mocksville, NC and home. SO, off to Lowes this morning and got a 6' 1x4 pc of clear poplar to make a new one to her latest design. Old one was 84" long with 1-1/8" x 2" figure 8 slots on 6" centers. NOW, she wants one only 72" long with 1-1/4" holes on 3" centers. As usual, she got what she wanted. The new one is made, sanded, stained and sitting in the sun drying. I bet the new rubber plugs never leave the bumper as I will pop rivet a stainless steel hinge to one side of them and rivet the hinge to the bumper and pin them closed.

So THAT's what you've been up to! Just told Fritz I hadn't seen you post anything since yesterday. Told him I was worried you or Ms. Frankie had gotten sick or somethin'. Shoulda known you were out in the shop makin' somethin' for your 5er again.
And YEP, Weezer DOES have those two satellite mounts (the ladder one having been dubbed the "LH thingamajig" by OC) thanks to my BFF! And here's a {{{{{HUG}}}}} and another thank you!

Too soft and it splits too easy in an application like this.
BTW, we know if Ms. Amy wanted one, she'd have to make it herself.

Funny thing is Ms Amy can do more than most women or at least she trys.
But she's NOT ALLOWED to handle power tools.
I already made her one out of aluminum. She's good.

From what I've seen, you'd be hard pressed to try an enforce that ridiculous statement.
Ms. Amy just LETS you think you're boss. We all know she is a TOWTA also.

Just move the light above your sat.

The Tailgater covers the area the flag pole holder bolts into. Would have to move the Tailgater out at least 10" and then it would be in the way walking around it. I might just scrap the original mount and forget it. Besides, it keeps us from hooking up the night before so I will probably just mount it on the tripod instead of using the pin box mount.

Well, the jokes on me, just went to put TOWTA's new laundry board in the bumper and found it wouldn't fit because the 6' ladder is in there also. Looked in the rear fence post cover and lo and behold there's TOWTA's old laundry board. So, the only thing lost was the bumper end and an old slinky about 2 hrs labor and $11 for the board. New laundry board is now on top of a cabinet inside the camper. Sheesh! CRS bites me again. Now she has 2 laundry boards.

You're #3 on the request list. I will have to say you are much prettier than the first two people that ask for it.
May have to start a lottery.
