traveling restrictions

The tunnels in (and under) Boston are likewise restricted--no propane allowed. This means I-90 and I-93 in the immediate city area are not usable routes.

Also there is no RV's allowed on any of the parkways in NY either.

There is at least one exception to this rule, the Lake Ontario State Parkway west of Rochester; but it's very much in the minority. It does have some comparatively low clearances, between 11' and 12' as I recall, so isn't suitable for all RVs, but if you fit it's legal and not white-knuckle driving (ignoring the quite rough, poorly maintained pavement).

Most or all of the parkways in Connecticut are also not suitable for (nor open to) RVs.

We travel north-south (and vice versa) through Baltimore frequently. I always go around the west side of Loop 695. Stay off the F. Scott Key bridge on the east side, too. Going the west loop adds 15 - 20 minutes to our travel and about the same number of years to my life.

Fairly new to rving. can I travel thru the Baltimore inner harbor tunnel with my fifth wheel? I have heard that if I shut off my propane tanks it is ok.

NO

No propane is allowed in the Baltimore tunnels, you must use the Scott Key bridge. There is propane allowed on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel complex ( two 30# bottles and they must be turned off). If going through NYC there is no propane allowed through any of the tunnels from NJ to NYC and no propane allowed on the GWB except on the upper level only, it's best to go over the Tappenzee bridge. Also there is no RV's allowed on any of the parkways in NY either.

Have you reviewed http://www.mdta.maryland.gov/toll_facilities/bht.html ?

“Vehicles carrying bottled propane gas in excess of 10 pounds per container (maximum of 10 containers), bulk gasoline, explosives, significant amounts of radioactive materials, and other hazardous materials are prohibited from using both the Fort McHenry and Baltimore Harbor Tunnels. In addition, vehicles in excess of 13 feet, 6 inches, in height, or 96 inches (8 feet) in width; and all double trailers are prohibited from using the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel. For additional information regarding these restrictions, please call 410-537-1374.”

Or just asked us? The above doesn’t say “shut off” propane. It gives weight per container restrictions. What you “heard” appears...inaccurate. How wide is your RV? By tape measure, not the manufacturer.
