My wife and I boondock a good portion of time and have had problems locating where our rig was parked (upon returning from shopping).We noticed that some of our distant neighbors were flying different type of flags that you could see from a distance. We thought how could we personalize our fiver with a raised flag.We searched around, asked questions until we found a website called Orencoflags.com. Our inquiry was met with someone at this company who discussed our options and we made a purchase of a 30' collapsible pole and a 4x6 Betsy Ross flag. The pole collapses to approx. 36 inches and has its own storage sleeve.We are so happy with the personalize service to meet our rv'ing needs for our trailer.Today, we are as proud as the first day we flew our flag. A Betsy Ross is a unique symbol of our historical heritage.

Always fly my colors while camping....With the best on the market Poles And Holders

Camping, Tailgating, Races....We always represent Texas & our American Pride where ever we go !We use a 20 foot Camco aluminum telescoping flagpole, it collapses to 5 feet & has its own heavy canvas storage bag.

I am flying the stars and stripes from a Sunsetter, I think it's 20 (or 24) Feet, I use this pole for multiple jobs.. But sunup yesterday it raised the Stars and Stripes. and then later in the day I slapped a set of LED racing lights on it to light the flag at night.. I will take it down Monday Evening. some flag facts:If you fly multiple flags from the same pole, as someone is doing PROPERLY up above, then only the top flag can be a "National" flag the rest can be state, local, group or faternity, or even a personal flag.IF you fly multiple NATIONAL flags, all must be at the same height, To fly, for example, a Canadian flag on a seperate, shorter, pole is,, an act of war.. But note this only applies to you. .IF you flay Old Glory from a 25 foot pole and your friend from what I call "South of the border" (I am from Detroit the only city in the continental US where you go SOUTH to enter Canada) only has a 20'er, that's ok. The US Flag always takes the place of honor in the US (The lead flag or if in a straight line the flag on the flag's right or speaker's right, EXCEPTION A CHURCH flag may take that spot (God is greater than the US is what they admit there).Bunch more, but you can google it. Flage code.

Seems like they would be a big lightning rod in a thunderstorm.Do you take the poles down for the weather?

I usually take my flags in at night (mostly to avoid any damage from storms or high wind).Flag etiquette says (if its made of all weather material i.e. nylon) then you can leave it up in bad weather....I try not to, but thats just me.
