San Joaquin County and Camping World have been wrangling for more than a year over the huge flag and the 130-foot flagpole from which it flies.
San Joaquin County officials are flagging what one supervisor is calling a savvy marketing campaign cloaked as patriotism by recreational-vehicle giant Camping World. The nation’s largest retailer of RVs and RV-related accessories and services is flying a giant American flag again outside its store in the Northern California town of French Camp. This time, however, the flag’s appearance is legal.
Although the size of the flag was not disclosed, other Camping World store flags nationwide have routinely measured 40 feet by 80 feet. Meaning if that flag were laid down, it would cover about 70% of a regulation-size NBA court. Camping World in French Camp lowered its flag for an undisclosed time during the permit process. Company Chief Executive Marcus Lemonis then ordered the store to fly the flag again Monday, according to reports from the local Fox News affiliate.
