I had one in the MH when I bought it so I kept it, I would not go out of my way to buy another one in a new MH. Having said that it is useful when coming into a traffic areas, the truckers usually know the best routes to avoid traffic delays. Usually the trucks coming from the opposite direction give you a good description of what is happening. I also use it when traveling in a group to communicate with fellow travelers. There were many areas out west and in Canada and Alaska where we had no cell phone service and the CB was very useful. The fellow I went to Alaska with was a full timer and he had been there several times before and he traveled ahead of me and gave me a blow by blow description like a tour guide which helped past the time of a long trip.
