wecamp, that's a great idea! Is the PVC stiff enough to do the job? I guess there are different gauges of PVC -- I think Schedule 40 is thicker and sturdier.
The idea of using matching holes as a way of connecting them is really great -- instead of relying on a threaded connection or a slip fitting. Plus, with a little overlap between the outer bottom pole and the inside top pole, the joint would be stronger than if the pieces were end to end.
Five footer segments would fit perfectly into the bed of my truck.
This project is sounding more and more plausible, as long as the wind does not carry the whole thing away. ;)
