Recently a friend of mine suggested that I install a CB radio in my RV Park office in order to communicate with passing RV's. I was just wondering if this would be beneficial or not. According to him, some campgrounds he recently drove near are using the CB radio to broadcast a short message to RV's in their area, announcing site availability. I would like to hear from some of you to find out if you use a CB radio in your RV and, if so, do you monitor Channel 19 most of the time when you are traveling?

I used one for a very short while years ago (8 or so, when we first started camping). I quickly learned to leave it off due to language if kids were in listening range -- which meant I almost always had it off. So now it sits in my home's basement somewhere.
Years ago I knew a lot of people who used CBs when traveling, especially if in groups. Now I don't know anyone who has one in their vehicle. With cell phones there doesn't seem to be any need or want for CBs. -------------------- 2008 F-250 5.4L CrewCab

I think the last time I used one was 1991, headed to Ocean City MD in a 2 car convoy - in case we got seperated. Other than the nostalgia factor, I haven't really seen much need for one. |

I do still use one on the road some times for traffic info such as back ups and best way through some city's like go through the middle or around it on a by pass.
