We are on that route now, though we are taking more than two days.
A few tips:
You cannot take the Baltimore Harbor Tunnels with propane. You will need to take 695 around. Across the bridge (to the east) is faster but you have to pay a toll.
Whatever you do, avoid the George Washington Bridge. Take the Tappan Zee or, even better, The Newburgh-Beacon Bridge. It is cheaper, faster, and gets you north away from a lot of the traffic.
You cannot drive on Parkways in New York (Taconic, Sprain, etc).
You cannot drive with propane in the Boston tunnels.
You don't say where you are in Northern Va but the easiest, least traffic route from that area would be: 66 or 270/70 to 81N. At Scranton, take 84E/N to 495N around Boston. Then take 95N through Maine. Though the route is longer in distance, it is typically shorter in time so the gas works out about the same. If you have limited miles due to having a rental, straight up 95 is your best bet.
