We have the 21' flag pole connected to the ladder with the two brackets (top & bottom) that came with the pole. I did add a light t the top bracket.

Hi
We use one with a plate on the bottom where you just part the TV on the plate and that holds it up. It is 2 pieces and I think a total of 16 ft.

We got everything we need from Flagpole buddy. We went with a shorter one because we are frequently in windy areas and wanted to cut down on the rattling.

Whats DQdick said. We have the 21 or 22 ' using the flagpole buddy mount. Also have a very nice solar light above the flag so it can fly at night. I just love it and get many compliments.

Iknow most folks want to show the colors and we do. I chose to make my own flagpole using a $7.00 adjustable bracket and a pair of $4.00 swivels from ebay and a piece of 1" aluminum tubing that was originally a tent pole that was residing in my odds and ends pile.
That bracket is attached to the 5th or 6th step of the ladder - four 1/4-20 bolts and a couple straps made up, again from my odds and ends pile, of scrap aluminum. Remove one 1/4-28 set screw, pull and stow the pole and flag then we ready to travel
We were using a well used mid size flag, 20"x30" but it started to shred so have a 16"x20". The smaller size lets it stay out in the wind and wont shake the trailer like a 15 or 21 footer would in a heavy wind as we sometimes get along Lake Champlai.
I like the Flag Buddy flag poles, but they are just too much to store for our needs

We have a 22' from flagpole buddy you can put (2) 3' by 5' flags on it but I wouldn't do if it's really windy out! we have a solar light for at night so we can fly the flag. I did add some pad to the top mount so we have no rattle at all. It's easy to store to takes up very little space.

Flagpole Buddy, They have different size poles and it come with the hardware...…
But if it starts to get real windy, take it down. I have seen poles snap in the higher winds. To decide on length, if you camp a lot where trees may effect the taller pole.

When we still had the sticknbrick I wanted a high quality flag pole that I could use on trips plus have in my front yard at home. We went with the 22' one made by Uncommon USA. It was very simple to put the pvc sleeve in the ground at the sticknbrick and we are currently using a base plate that a tire sits on while camping to hold it.

I previously had the aluminum expandable flag pole from Camping World ($160.00), that could hold two 3' x 5' flags, and I mounted it on a 2" receiver mount ($40.00). But after a year of having to remove my bicycle carrier in order to mount my flag mount, and the fact the aluminum pole was slightly now bent from winds, I went with a fiberglass 22' pole from "Poles and Holders" for $56.00. I also bought their ladder mount for $22.00. It also mounts two 3' x 5' flags. The new flag pole also accepted my circular LED flag light and the top red/white & blue beacon light. All I can say is the company is awesome, speedy service, great product, great prices, and the new pole is better suited for winds. The company is also a father/daughter company, located in California, and has been in business for 20 years.

Flag poles.
I certainly recommend Flag Poles, attached to the receiver hitch. My American Flag has flown in 44 States. It is always lighted at night. After shore power, is connected, slides out, American Flag goes UP!

22 ft ladder mount but at moderate windy times I do not raise the last section or as others stated on really windy days I take it down. I also padded the top mount so I have zero pole noise

We have the 22 foot Flag Pole buddy pole. I mounted the brackets to the flange on the door side slide out (yes, permanently bolted to it) bottom and top of flange. Doesn't interfere with slide out at all. For the rattle, FPB sells what they call "sleep baby" inserts for the upper bracket, which quieted it right down. We ordered the new "4 flag" clips option. We fly a 3X5 foot US flag at the top, next down is a 2X3 MIA/POW flag, next down is a 3X5 Vietnam Veteran flag, then last is a 2X3 US Navy flag. All flags are lightweight nylon, would not try flying a heavy cotton one. We've had them flying in up to 35 MPH winds, with no problems. Yes, the pole is bending a bit, but never had a problem with it. For lighting, we never used the "road side" scare light, so I installed an LED garden style spot light in it's place (using weathertight fittings/conduit" and it really lights it up at night. We get lots of compliments on it.
