Travel Restrictions for traveling So in NJ

I am leaving next Saturday and trying to plan my trip through NJ to FL in my 28 ft C Class.and cant find restrictions for the Garden State Parkway or NJ turnpike. Im using Good Sams trip planner. I want to cross the Hudson over the Tappen Zee or as a back up the Beacon Newburg bridge. I am going So to a stopover around North Brunswick NJ Wall mart but cant determine the best way to link up with the NJ TPK. I am concerned with truck and weight restrictions.

Any advice would be a great help and appreciated.

Thanks

    Both bridges are ok with propane and no wt. or ht. restrictions.
    Take I-287 into jersey. take it to the NJTP to I-295 then to 95 and Delaware Bridge, Happy Travels.

    There are no RV restictions on the Turnpike or Garden State Parkway. For less traffic take I-287 over the TZ Bridge and continue on 287 to the Turnpike in Edison, NJ. I-287 in NJ is toll free.

    I-295 does parallel the NJTP to the Delaware Memorial Bridge, but there is not an exit directly to I-295. The first opportunity to get on I-295 Southbound is the I-195 exit(7A). I-295 South will take you across the Delaware Memorial Bridge which has a toll Southbound (no propane restrictions) and back to I-95. I-195 will also connect you to I-95 South which does not have a toll but will take you through Philadelphia.

    I was born and raised in NJ...we now go around it rather than through it...too congested and not a nice drive. Try 2 am.:B

    The Tappan Zee Bridge scares the cr@p out of me in a car... I'd hate to drive over it hauling the fifth wheel. I find the NJ Turnpike vastly preferable to I-295, even with the tolls. There are fewer exits and (in my opinion) friendlier traffic once you get down around the middle of the state.
