Why Not RV: Episode 118 - Travel Trailer Starlink Mount. This is just the method I chose to use for mounting the starlink on my airstream. There are several options out there, I just felt this was best for me and my use.

Love your content! Thanks for this very important coverage!
I appreciate it!!!!
I like the idea. The only suggestion at the moment would be to drop the base of the pole to the ground to provide a little bit more stability to the pole.
Depending on wind conditions could easily do so.
Looks great! One neat thing I saw once was someone used a plumbing fernco to mate the starlink to an old satellite dish mount on his house. Probably cheaper than the starlink pipe adapter and easier to install!
Interesting. I’d like to see a picture of that.
@@WhyNotRV if I get by that house again I'll take a pic for you!
Well I actually got back to that house today and took some pics! But I can't figure out how to put them in this reply... I'll try and out it on your Facebook group.
Looks like you had a chicken supervising at times. LOL Great video.
Ya they were all hanging around waiting for me to throw them some corn 😂
Nice video and thank you for sharing your experience. Three questions, One: does the "little" movement you get with the antenna extended interfere with your signal at all? Two: How high have you raised it when you have used it when camping? Three: Would you do anything different now that you have a year experience under your belt?
Thank you. The wiggle does not interfere at all. I’ve put it maybe 16-18’ tall to clear some trees. I’m still using the same setup. Nothing is change as of now
How did you "break" off the bottom section of pole?
Carefully lol. No but seriously there’s a plastic tensioner ring that holds them together. I just kind of cracked that by extending the pole at the joint I wanted broken and working it loose
I do not like that adapter, its a accident waiting to happen just my 2c
What do you mean specifically?
Great video. Thanks for posting. I have a question about the receiver hitch flagpole holder you linked to. I just purchased a 20' flagpole from Harbor Freight that looks just like the one you show in the video. It looks like you took off the bottom section of the pole because the diameter was too big for the holder. That means the "new" bottom section is about 2 3/16" in diameter (at least on my Harbor Freight pole). The flagpole holder you linked to shows it is for flagpoles up to 2" in diameter. What is the diameter of your new bottom section? If larger than 2", does that holder actually accommodate poles slightly larger than 2". Thanks, in advance.
The holder is pretty much 2 inches on the dot. It might have room for 2 1/16 but I took at least one section off the bottom. I don’t recall if I took two off at Paul or not. But it’s a 2 inch pole of this point.
@@WhyNotRV Ok. Thanks for the response!
Absolutely!
Does your front windscreen open with the pole there? If so I’m getting that to run the tallest flag in the campground haha
So, with the current set up that I have in this video, no, You cannot open up the front window. However, you can easily get a hitch extension tube that will kick it out another six inches or even less and you’ll be able to open the window no issues.
How would this attach to Gen 3?
I think gen 2 and 3 are very very similar. Head over to flagpolebuddy.com to see the latest stuff
We are setting up our airstream, could you please update the link for the pole? Thanks
Thank you for the update. I went ahead and updated the link.
Can you still open the front window with the flagpole mounted?
Good question. I believe there’s clearance but I’ll have to test next time. It can definitely open. Question is how far if it’s limited….
I just received all the parts that were ordered from the link. The pole DOES NOT fit in the holder as it is the same diameter as the holder. Question: Do you have to remove the first section and use the second section as the base section? Also, is there an easy way to remove the first section so it fits?
Yes. I talk about that in the video. Go to 5:25 in the video. You can basically just remove that first section by taking the rest of the flagpole up past the first section, loosen the ring and break it out with a little force.
@@WhyNotRV ok I am good a breaking things! Don't get too aggressive and dent the aluminum sections or you will have to bu a whole new pole... yeah, I know
Perfect lol
I don’t see the link for the flag pole. Do you have a product number
It’s right in the description. I believe it says 25’ flagpole
@@WhyNotRVhey thank you for your patience it was in a drop down menu great video 💯👍👍👍😎
Thank you!!!
Your flagpole mount link is wrong
Thank you. I will look into it.
