Chesapeake Bay Bridge

We will be leaving Jackson NJ Saturday and want to explore the Outer Banks before heading home to Texas. Will our 34' motor home, towing a Vibe have any trouble with the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and tunnels? Wind an issue? We were thinking of taking highway 13 all the way down. Good idea or not? Thanks.

  • We have taken it without a problem. We just keep,the propane turned off that day. Its a little unnerving when a tractor trailer passes you coming the other way, but there is room! We have done it three times in the winter and haven't encountered high winds yet. It is expensive, but an easy way for us to go when heading south.
  • 1 tank no more than a 45 lb cap. two tanks not adding up to 200 ibs. cap. I think I read it right
  • go to the bridge & tunnel web site and click on commpressed gas restiction.
  • If there is to much wind they close it to trucks and RVs. We take it often, it's a nice drive.
