    Where can I get a good hammock stand

    So we are traveling the country in our RV now and are finding some places do not have trees or do not allow you to tie to them. Living in an RV I have limited tools so a DIY project is out therefore I'm looking to buy something. Most what I find online are cheap or are super short made for 8-10ft hammocks. Any thoughts on something more professional or useable for 11-12ft hammocks so would probably need a 15ft span. Not worried about weight since it will probably be used at the campgrounds mostly.

    DD hammocks has one : http://www.ddhammocks.com/us/product...nd?from_cat=44 , they partnered with the maker of the Handy Hammock Stand to take on production and sell it on their site. Its super lightweight (46oz), packable and fits any length hammock. It costs $145, and that includes shipping from the UK. They ship super fast too.... I ordered a hoodie and tee from them on a Monday night my time on the east coast, and had my package weds morning, not bad!

    I know you said you're limited in terms of DIY, but I'd recommend this bi-pod style stand (you could make it with just a hack saw and drill):
    https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...od-style-stand

    Alternatively, you could build a pipe stand:

    Or even purchase a car camp setup from Cheryl:

    All of these are excellent options that are much less bulky than most other stands--especially when stowed away (I know you said weight doesn't matter, but in an RV, I'd think that storage space is at a premium, so bulkiness should matter, right?). IMO these are the best all around options for portable, efficient, sturdy stands. They are listed here roughly in order of bulkiness from most to least.

    they make really nice hammock stands, but not really meant for camping, but they do have 8, 9 and 15 footers available

    What about a hitch mounted stand?
    I have no experience with this product or affiliation with this company

    Thanks for the suggestions I will have to look o to these. The hitch style probably will not work since there are 2 of us and we both need 1 for our dream hammocks.

    I've been using a Vivere 9ft steel stand inside for my ~13ft Bossanova hammock for almost a year and am very happy with it.

    I purchased this one from Amazon. They also have a longer one available. It collapses down and is stored in a bag. Weighs about 35 lbs. We take it when we camp in our trailer.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
