All I can say is that I probably haven't taken my last dump in one their campers on their sales lot.

I've seen the large flags flying at many of their locations and liked it plenty.

Here's another shot of the pole. It's nowhere near being within 100' of the street. However, when the flag is fully extended by the wind, it could be within 100' of the street. Also, they could be counting that sidewalk as part of the street right of way. Either way, the suit appears to be just BS. Pretty sure that's not the Statesville location. The Statesville Gander RV location is just up I-77 from me and I pass it fairly regularly. I doubt the flag pole is within 100 ft of the Interstate but it well may be within that distance from the right of way. Have to take a closer look next trip by. Gander Outdoors here in town flys one that looks to be about the same size but I doubt Mooresville would sue to take it down anyway. Nice bit of color in a good breeze. Good reminder of what we have others want to take. But the CEO is begging publicity. Just back the pole up to minimum distance and carry on. With a flag that size even another 100 ft won't matter. Or line up 5 or 6 in the same spot but in spec. Dumb fight to pick.

In this case, I am on the side of the POS owner of Camping World. Won’t be buying anything there, but I support flying BIG American flags.

Because of the camera angle, it's hard to judge how large the flag is.

Because of the camera angle, it's hard to judge how large the flag is. Yeah that looks more like it. Don't know the dimensions of the flag but it's BIG. And looking at that pic the flag pole has to be way over 100 ft from pavement but I'm not sure about right-of-way. Could be the chain link fence. In that case if ROW is the standard they need to back it up a little. Just don't see a big issue. They're not banning the flag, just keeping big stuff back off the road.

If they measure from the pole, I don't see a problem. However, if they measure from the full extent of the flag, which is 80' long, it could be a problem. That would be 180' from the pole. From looking at this photo, I'd call the whole thing BS. That flag isn't endangering anyone.
