Looking to pick up a pair of handheld 2 way radios. Any recommendations? Plan to use for talking when backing up and around campground.

$15 models on eBay work just fine. Mine were budget priced and sound great and can go across an RV park.

We have a pair of Motorolas that work well for us. Laura travels behind the rig in a car on travel days, so we use them to communicate on the road. We also use them when she spots for me backing in.

We bought a new set a couple of years ago...Midland T71VP3 X -Talker Series. Lots of features, pretty much crystal clear voice. They come with a twin charging stand or they can be charged via a standard USB micro cord. We use them every time I'm backing in and Midland is a pretty good quality product. IIRC, they were on Amazon. Yep, and here is the link to them... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...0?ie=UTF8&th=1

We used to use walkie talkies until one failed at a crucial moment. Now we use our phones and if theres no signal (which isn't often) we go the old way with hand signals

LOL....the simple and common sense answer to that problem ^^^^ was to STOP all movement until you figure out what was wrong and you weren't able to communicate anymore. Walkie-Talkies are like any other tool that is used. If something fails, then fix the problem and proceed.

Absitively! She stopped, I stopped. We haven’t used them since for backing in. They were perfect for vehicle to vehicle for our trip to Big Bend with two RVs. Then they actually worked for a near 5 mile line of sight shot on our hike up a mesa.

I just purchased the Motorola T801's. So far so good. They do link to your cell when there is no cell coverage so you can text via cell to cell.
