We put ours right next to the front door. The theory was there would be a stud right next to the door, and there was.
An added benefit is that it is really easy to reach and put up or down from the inside. If it starts raining, we can just reach outside the door and bring the flag in.
Our Rig:
2005 Dodge 3500 - Dually- Cummins
2006 Outback 27 RSDS
We also have with us two rescue dogs. A Chihuahua mix & a Catahoula mix.
