CB radio usage

Have the Cobra with Weather Channels, priceless. Like others, keep on 19 and low, but when severe weather is out there, it makes a loud shrill, and we tune in. Safe travels.

I think we should all go back to the old way and start pushing 13 for the rver's! I've been thinking of getting another, that's why the question. Over.
Lol

I miss CBs...

Sounds like several people agree, RV'rs use channel 13. Now make it so!

When I get the new truck, I'll mount the CB, and "have my ears on" for you all.

I always use the CB on channel 19. If anything it does a great job giving info on traffic jams, lane changing and alternate routes. Came in handy navigating around DC last summer on our way back from Fla.

Just at a sign company in our home town. I made come clips and hung in on the latter. I could take it off if I needed to use the latter.

I don’t have a CB now, but when we first retired I had one. Channel 19, the truckers channel can have some interesting language. I had read that Channel 13 was for RVers. Didn’t have much luck with it until I put a sign on the back of our MH that we were monitoring channel 13.

Where did you get your sign made???

Didn’t have much luck with it until I put a sign on the back of our MH that we were monitoring channel 13. Got some calls, but more important was the good info we did get; places to see, good places to eat that were RV friendly, and the best place to get fuel. Even some truckers would call us on 13. The sign helped.

I still have my old 23channel mounted in TV. I use 19 and 13, in the old days 13 was the RV channel. But yes it is always ON.

I have one and monitor 19 and 13. I was told a long time ago 13 was the "good sam" channel. I have never heard anyone talk on 13...

We have had one in the truck for years. Seldom turn it on except to check on traffic problems or to park. DW takes a handheld CB when we park in a tight spot. Works much better than FRS walkie talkies. Speeding ticket concerns should not be an issue with a 5th wheel trailer in tow if you are towing safely.
