trip directions to avoid tunnels

We are new to RVing and are planning a trip to Charleston SC and then to Tampa Fl.  Apparently propane tanks are not allowed through tunnels.  All the trips planners (google maps or GPS)  take us through tunnels in New Jersey and Baltimore Maryland.  Any recommendations for alternative routes and is there a way to download a PDF or somehow to print.

  • you should be able to pick option in the software to avoid tolls and such but there are some rv spicific trip planers that would most likely take you around them but you have to pay for them.  I would double check that you don't just have to turn your propane bottles off when you go through the tunnels.  

  • Is it that propane is not allowed or it has to be turned off? I have travelled tunnels in Baltimore and the Chesapeake bay bridge tunnel many times and the only requirement was to turn off your lp.

  • How about doing it the old fashion way and getting a road map? Extra added bonus you don’t have to download or print, it’s already done for you.
