My CB came with the Bus. Its a Cobra Soundtracker. My antenna is on top of the coach and its a small antenna, maybe 12 inches in height.
I believe even with the portables you need a antenna on top of you coach and not a built in antenna.
My CB only is good for reception up to maybe a half a mile. Hills, trees, bldgs, etc. all reduce its performance.
Joe C. is correct about the Antenna and the microphone.
Having said all that, I rarely use the darn thing. It's great for caravaning with other members, but its range is very limited. So, a portable s probably a good starting point if you do not want to invest a load of money for a small return.

Sid if I were you I would call in your area, where ever you are at the present and find, a Good High End Car Stereo dealer.

Custom Car Stereo comes to mind in Houston, but call and ask who ever you find in your area if they have ever put in radios, or CB's in motorhomes?

Make sure they have done that kind of work before, and quiz them about their install and any problems they had. Then take nice pictures of your bus, dash and roof area, and take it into them and see what they say about the job after seeing the bus.

I am sure there are custom radio installers that can do an excellent job for you, because that is what they do. I know two different companies here in Houston that I would refer you to, if you were close to Houston.
