Starlink mount advice

Just purchased Starlink Gen 3 and looking for a way to mount when traveling in our class C.
Just looking for a temp mount as our cell plan is usually enough
I was considering a flag pole mount, but we don't have a ladder. Our hitch is occupied by our bike rack.
Has anyone found a clamp on bumper mount that works?
Other suggestions?

Here is an alternative to the bumper mount. The pole is a 10 foot, 1-1/2" heavy wall plastic conduit cut into two 4' pieces. That allows it to be disassembled and stored in the bay. The suction cup mounts are from Amazon and have held in place for as much as seven days without turning loose. The hooks are fabricated from aluminum bar stock available at any big box hardware store. I did have to add hose clamps just above the conduit clamp to keep it from sliding down. Adapters for mounting the Starlink are also available on Amazon.

StarLink Receiver Hitch Pole

Here's what I made off my 2.5" receiver hitch, and put 3 guide para cords down to ground rods, about 12ft in height, about 14ft totally off ground. The U shaped cradle on the rear of the hitch is hinged and allows to pivot down the mast and assemble you factory mount onto the 2.5" galvanized electrical conduit pipe you can pickup as any box store, cut to length to get between store trays in you basement. Many people have looked it and like the idea, A person needs to have a welding shop black smith make up will take 50-60 mph winds no problem and nothing touches you coach paint is what I like. toolman100

That looks cool, and would work even though I don't have a slide. But I can't seem to find those suction cups on Amazon. Do you have a link?

I don't mount mine. I just lay it in the grass where I am not blocked by trees. I like having the option to get line-of sight regardless of whether my rig is under trees or not.

I also installed an all-weather sealed Cat-6 jack on the exterior wall of the rig so I didn't have to feed the line in thru a slideout seal.
