Most Coaches come equipped with a good old fashion CB radio. Its been a decade since I had a vehicle equipped with one and was curious if most drivers or co pilot used the device often and what channels are used.

I generally find very little talk on my CB even on 19. But it is helpful when there is something backing up traffic that you can't otherwise tell what is going on.

This is the way that I see it also.
Some years ago there was constant chatter on the CB...much of it unpleasant. I remember a trucker CB fight that had my grandson rolling on the floor laughing till he cried.
But today I hear only a passing conversation. Closer to cities may have more chatter as the day drivers are more numerous in those areas.
I have CB on about half the time to monitor traffic info but rarely hear anything any more.

I can tell you a CB saved us last October. Driving home from OR, about 40 miles north of Grants Pass on I-5... The transmission in our 96 Cruise Master went out. NO CELL SERVICE.... . A trucker on the CB called for help and a tow truck. While waiting the week in Eugene OR for the trans to be fixed we visited Country Coach, and Premier RV in Junction City...ended up buying a 2001 Country Coach Magna.....
