CB Radio - needed?
I have went back and forth with this for over a year. Do I really need a CB in my tow vehicle or not? This year there has been two or three times where we were stopped in traffic out in the middle...

When we suspect something fishy going on up ahead, I use my map and GPS on my smartphone and that's saved us a lot of headaches. We both used to have CB's, but used them less and less til we stopped putting them in newer vehicles. Haven't missed them. Yet.
I agree, sort of. I run a new Rand RV GPS, a regular GPS, I-phone, plus we always have our Verizon MiFi in the truck for internet connection.
However, when traffic stops out in the middle of nowhere for no obvious reason, none of those things will tell you what exactly is going on up front or suggest how long the delay will be.
The last couple of times that has happened to us we were thinking of a re-route, which when pulling 40' of 5th wheel you have to know what roads to detour on, but we didn't want to detour if the obstruction up ahead was going to clear quickly. The only possible way to get up to date information was from the truckers around us. Of course they were getting their information via their CB.
