The first time I used a CB was back in the 80's traveling to Florida in a Hi-Top van I asked for a radio check and a trucker answered and asked what I was hauling, I told him 3 kids and a wife, he laughed and we talked for hrs and kept me from falling a sleep in the middle of the night. My MH came with an old Cobra, and when I went to Alaska in 2006 with another Rver we used it to communicate about the road condition animals along the Hiway etc. He was a full-timer and had a Copilot nav system so I just followed him. Much of the areas we traveled through had no cell service especially through Canada where there were also roaming charges at the time so it was useful. Also the truckers alerted me several times of accidents and alternate routes to take. Having said all that if I bought another MH I would not buy a new CB for it because I really like the RV Copilot and Waze app's, but if it came with it I would keep it because you need cell service for Waze to work.
