Are CB radios still used?

Recently bought my new motorhome (1994 Newmar). It has a factory CB radio in it. Was rather surprised, as CBs had long since faded away. However, in looking, I see that CBs are still options in even brand new motorhomes.

Are people still using these? I haven't used one in years.
  • I think cellphones pretty much squashed the CB deal however, they can be useful for weather updates and emergency situations especially if there is no cell service available.
  • I have one in my motor home. If I get in heavy traffic, I turn it on to check for problems. The language has gotten so bad over the years that I don't leave it on.
