I am thinking about putting a CB radio in my Class A. Any suggestions? How do the portable ones work?

Thanks

CB radios add to clutter and on the road make more noise then they are worth

And they can save your life! Just ask any old time truck driver out there. But you have to be listening to it.

I agree with Pat's post! There really useful when you need immediate road information from something going on up ahead of you. Are someone coming in the opposite direction that seen what is up ahead of you. Very useful to me in the past for information concerning driving, when driving in storms (trees down over the road, snowing and lanes blocked ahead of you due to accidents ahead). I carried a cell phone and it was no use in the middle of the night going up a mountain pass in the middle of the wilderness! The only good a cell phone was to me was calling 911 for someone who was involved in a accident that I drove up on. You can buy different types of CB Radios at different prices to fit your needs. I had a 10 liter CB that was tweaked, had funny channels and I had a 250 watt amp that I used for emergency purposes only. One time there was an emergency out in the wilderness and my cell phone got no reception! I was in Washington State, I turned my amp on (hooked up to my C.B.) and got ahold of a gentleman in North Las Vegas, NV. and he called the Washington State Patrol for me! C.B.'s are a very useful tool when used properly!
