Why the Journeyman 5th Wheel Mount is the Last Flag Holder You’ll Ever Buy

by Patrick Donnellan

If you’ve spent any time at a campground, you’ve seen them: flimsy flag mounts that wobble in a light breeze, probably falling off and blowing away. Plastic brackets that snap under pressure, or—worst of all—those kits that require you to drill permanent holes into your expensive rig. You will likely find yourself replacing these cheap mounts within a year or two.

Journeyman RV Flag Mounts stand in a league of their own.

1. Tool-Free, Grease-Free Installation

Most 5th wheel mounts are a headache to install. Ours are designed to be quick and easy! No tools or engineering degree required.

  • The Journeyman Edge: Our mount slips directly over your trailer’s tow pin (the kingpin). You simply hand-tighten the large, easy-to-turn threaded knob, and you’re done.

  • No Mess: Our unique "self-contained" design means you will not get 5th wheel grease all over your hands during setup or tear down like other designs.

2. Built by a Journeyman Tool Maker

We do not compromise on quality because we know that precision is the difference between "good enough" and "built to last." Our founder is a certified Journeyman Tool & Die Maker with over 25 years of specialized metalworking experience. Every Journeyman Flag Mount is built using the same exacting standards, technical precision, and craftsmanship required to produce high-end tooling for the auto and aerospace industries.

  • The Materials: While competitors use thin 1/8" steel or plastic, our mounts are crafted from 3/8" thick heavy-duty aluminum. It won’t bend or snap, and it’s built to outlast your trailer.

     

  • The Finish: Every mount is professionally powder-coated black and utilizes high-grade stainless-steel fasteners to ensure it never rusts, even after years of exposure to rain and salt air.

     

3. Compact & "Shallow-Site" Friendly

Standard kingpin mounts are often bulky, sticking out twenty-four inches or more from the front of your rig. This makes it a nightmare to walk around your trailer in a tight camping spot.

  • The Design: The Journeyman mount is only 14 inches long. It’s compact, sleek, and stays out of your way while still providing a rock-solid anchor for your flagpole.

4. Built-in Security

Protect your investment with an added layer of defense.

  • Anti-Theft Feature: Our mount includes a 1/2" diameter hole for a pin lock. Using a lock helps hinder unauthorized removal of the mount or your trailer, adding a tough hurdle for anyone looking for an easy target.

     

The Bottom Line

When you choose Journeyman, you’re supporting American-made quality. We offer a Lifetime Warranty against factory defects and a 30-day money-back guarantee because we know once you feel the weight of this mount in your hand and see the craftsmanship, you won’t want anything else!

  • Don’t settle for magnetic attachable mounts that are easily broken or fly off due to cheap magnets and wind. They will also scratch your pin box, eventually causing it to rust.

  • Don’t buy into tire mount flag holders, where you will eventually end up with cosmetic damages to your trailer. It is only a matter of time.

  • Avoid ladder mount holders to prolong your trailer's life by reducing the stresses induced by the winds.
