CB Radios Handy For Emergency Information

A couple questions:

My antenna is below the camper by 2-3 feet but, 18 inches away. Will it work okay for more local use?

Are there any channels that they are not allowed to talk so foul?

Nope. CB doesn't have a police force to police how people use it.

So it works mostly by line of site then? Thank you.

Probably pick up the direction that is away from the camper. I have used them before and if the antenna is blocked lets say to the rear the reception is almost nil if I recall correctly.
