The secret to not getting gouged if you are pulling a TT or 5 th wheel on a toll bridge is to SIT on your EZ pass so it doesn't go off and just pay at the cash booth. It will be double your car, but not 6 times! I learned this from a NJ/PA bridge toll collector this fall . He told me if it picks up your EZ pass electronically, it will charge as if you are a commercial tractor trailer rig with 4 axles. I tried this and it works! If the toll is $1 , I paid $2 by paying cash. If I had let my pass activate, it would be $12, 6 times the cost of just the TV. Check it out!
What's the point of having an E-Z pass if you are going to sit in the cash line anyway?To Save $10.00?
While I don't want to be randomly overcharged.I want the convenience of the E-Z pass
I love the convenience of an EZ pass too and this is never an issue when you are not pulling a trailer or 5th wheel. And to clarify, on a 2500 mile camping excursion this fall, I only encountered this on the NJ/PA Delaware River bridge tolls, not interstate charges in any other state, nor any other state's bridge tolls. So beware of the Delaware River Bridge authority rates if you are towing!
