Many RVers choose the 20-foot telescoping pole from Harbor Freight for their campsite because it is a fantastic, budget-friendly option. However, if you’ve ever unboxed one, you’ve probably noticed that the included wall bracket is designed for a flat residential house, not a fiberglass RV.
Relying on that standard cheap bracket at a breezy campground is a recipe for disaster. High winds can easily rip weak house mounts right out of your rig, and a flying aluminum pole can quickly scratch your vehicle’s paint or damage your siding
Instead of worrying about campground winds, you can use our heavy-duty RV mount. We designed a custom mount lineup specifically engineered to grip your budget pole perfectly. This setup provides an unbreakable, wobble-free base that keeps your vehicle completely safe from damage, making your affordable gear truly equal to the road
The Perfect Match for Your Budget Pole
Whether you already own a Harbor Freight flagpole or are planning to pick one up for your next trip, securing it properly to your RV is crucial. As we mentioned, standard home brackets are designed to be screwed into solid, flat yard walls or wooden posts. When you try to adapt those residential brackets to the curved, moving, and wind-battered exterior of an RV, they simply cannot handle the heavy wind tunnels that frequently whip through open campgrounds.
To solve this problem, we created a specialized line of RV mounts designed exclusively for life on the road. Our custom holders are engineered to grip these budget-friendly poles tightly and securely lock them directly onto your RV’s rear access ladder. The specialized internal sleeve design ensures a snug fit, meaning your pole won’t rattle, slip, or keep you awake during breezy nights.
As an added bonus, this is a future-proof investment. If you ever decide to upgrade your setup down the road, these exact same mounts will fit our premium heavy-duty telescoping fiberglass flagpoles perfectly.
