Aluminum flag pole and lightning?
I was looking around the shop to find a way to fly the Flag at campground. I thought about driving a piece of rebar in the ground between A frame of TT. Slide a telescoping aluminum tarp pole over rebar and steady it using a bungy cord around the TT frame. I have everything on hand to do this. I like the pvc flag poles but dont have stuff to finish before camping this weekend. I am worried about lightning sticking the aluminum pole and damaging the family or camper. I see alot of flag poles mounted to rvs but I dont think they are touching the ground either. Is my mounting idea a bad idea?
