That's the only solid place I see so far. Saw their satellite mounts. While nice, we sometimes camp where I need the mobility of the portable dish

OK, good...I wasn't sure if you were going to come up with a way to mount it elsewhere. I should receive the mount next week, also should be getting my trailer back on Tuesday.

Tracking on the satellite dish, I always carry a tripod and 75ft of cable...where I am at now for long periods has the yard guys hitting the tripod every week. Would be nice to get it off the ground.

Cale -

Could not go into the steel vertical framing as the pole would have broken the rain gutter downspout.

That top portion, is it solid? How long are the screws you put into it?

It is the plywood the fiberglass is bonded to. They were 1" long

Don,

Did you get the 22ft pole? Probably a dumb question, since you did the mod....but, do you feel confident that the plywood will be able to handle high winds? I have the white flag holder for the right and satellite dish for the left....want to make the least amount of holes as possible.

Walmart has a flagpole mounted light by Annin for $33.33, 4.5 stars, 167 reviews....

Off topic, can I text you a couple pics tomorrow of my slide rails? I keep getting damp carpet in the corner of my Main slide, I added some sealant tonight, but want to compare to what you may have. I have literally sealed the molding and all the screws and I am flummoxed at how its getting damp.

Wished you were coming for the Richmond race, I would meet you down there....

Cale

I had existing poles and took a chance that these would fit mine and they do. Worst case I'll lower them in high winds like I did with my homemade ground mounts. Sure thing on the pics.
