toll plaza selection on I-95 - MD to PA

Hi all,
Traveling from Aberdeen, MD to Hatfield, PA, in a class A w/toad and am wondering which toll plaza gate to choose on I-95? I know there are two toll plazas on this route on I-95 and another on the PA turnpike. Have an EZpass on the car(towd) but not on the moho so assume will have to use a "cash" lane. Also, will the EZpass pay for the car or will I have to pay cash for both the car and the moho? Any idea what the tolls will be?
Haven't taken the rig thru any toll plazas before so will appreciate advice from anyone on which toll gates to use on I-95 and and the PA turnpike(or can I just take any "cash" lane)?

Thanks,
Jim

    Grab the EZ Pass out of the car and use it in the MH, and you can take the whole rig thru the EZ pass lane. Doesn't matter that the pass is tagged as a car, they will bill you the difference for # of axles. If you want to pay cash, wrap the EZ Pass in foil otherwise it will get billed also.

    Hi burp man,
    thanks for replying. I'd like to do as you suggest but I called EZpass and they said I couldn't move the car transponder to the moho since it is a different class of vehicle as it has six wheels. Said I'd have to get another transponder for the moho and remove the one in the car or cover it with aluminum foil as you suggested to avoid being charged twice. :(

    Thanks,
    Jim

    I don't know where you got your EZ-PASS, but Mass.issued EZ-PASS allows car and motorhome on same transponder profile.

    Get another EZ pass transponder. I have two, one for the truck alone and another for the truck & 5vr together. I love the EZ-pass lanes (just not the pound of flesh (tolls)).

    I have one EZ pass for my truck and my TT and Boat trailers are registered online with EZ pass. So when pulling a trailer when I go through the EZ pass toll their camera takes a picture and charges me for the trailer with the TV. I would think the same can be done with you towed vehicle as long as your MH has a pass.

    JerryJay11,
    thanks for your response. I have the opposite situation, my car has an EZpass but the motorhome doesn't. I wonder if the EZpass camera would see the moho towing the car and charge accordingly? Since I'm leaving in a couple of days I don''t have time to get a pass for the moho and would only very rarely need it anyway since it's parked most of the time so I'm trying to avoid the hassle of having two EZpasses...;)

    Thanks,
    Jim

    I am sure you'll either be charged or they'll send a letter for you to anti up.

    Mine in De. is the same pass for all my vehicles, but we have always just went and used it not matter and was always billed correctly or sent something in the mail, then all we did was send them the transponder# and then they took it out of the account.
    On 95 I would stay on the right lanes where the trucks seem to go, sometimes the lanes are a little wider, depending where you are getting on in Pa. ( I assume on 476) look for the EZ Pass only lane it is towards the left and high speed so I believe 2 lanes each way.
