Running your propane Refrigerators while traveling?

As a new TT owner, I've found this to be a hotly contested issues and arguments from both sides having some logical merit.

What I've found in my research about LPG and traveling:

* state laws vary
* some states don't allow LPG in some tunnels.
* some states limit number and size of cylinders.
* I was only able to find that New Jersey law prohibits traveling with open LPG containers on highways (I saw reference of this on several sites -but in checking the NJ code I didn't explicitly find this- but i didn't spend much time as I've got no plans to travel in my TT to NJ in the near future).

Someone in NJ area - feel free to contact the DOT and verify the law

You are putting too much thought into it. I have only heard about tunnels having to turn off the propane before going in but never having it not being allowed at all. I never heard about the size or limit of cylinders and have never heard of anyone ever getting pulled over for something like that.

Just enjoy the rv and go, if you see a sign for example going into a tunnel to shut them off then obey the law but otherwise dont sweat it and go and have fun

Well, there's one specific situation I know of, lower deck of the George Washington Bridge. You're allowed to have tanks 30lbs or smaller as long as the system is turned off. If your tanks are bigger than 30lb or your system is open you're in violation of carrying unapproved hazardous materials. We stopped and turned off our tanks before entering the area because we were aware of the issue, also none of the tunnels around NY allow propane at all and the other bridges farther North don't lead to an area where you can really get to where we were going without taking hours and hours on surface roads or taking the expressways which don't allow RVs so the GWB is the only real option if you're visiting the area.
