A legal battle is intensifying over the extensive American flags displayed outside Camping World locations, with the CEO vowing to maintain their presence despite municipal lawsuits. Local governments, including Greenville, North Carolina and Sevierville, Tennessee, argue that the excessive size and height of the flags and poles violate city codes and present safety concerns. Camping World maintains that their flags have been displayed for 20 years without issue, emphasizing the importance of patriotism while addressing compliance with local regulations.
This flag is not coming down. This is the third city in the last several years that tried to sue us to take the flag down. Threatening jail, a variety of other fines.
We've had these flags up for ... 20 years, so it's surprising to me in states like North Carolina and Tennessee that I'm dealing with this.
Excessively tall structures can create visual distractions for motorists, pose potential safety hazards, and impact the scenic views that are a vital part of what makes Sevierville a destination.
This has never been about removing an American flag or the type of flag. It is about bringing the flag into compliance with City Code.
