When we run with friends we use the hand held radios. They have good rang and don't require any installation. We travel with up to 5 RVs and they work very well. No problem with getting from front of column to back.

The only reason I decided to install mine is because if cellular or satillite is down the CB might just get me trouble if I ran into a problem. Also they aren't that expensive for the extra safety, so no biggie. Happy Camping
