Running your propane Refrigerators while traveling?

There are a handful of places that prohibit propane cylinders completely. Boston prohibits them in the tunnels there. Same goes for the tunnels crossing from NJ to NYC.

Baltimore also prohibits propane bottles from the 1-95 and I-895 tunnels under the Baltimore harbor. Of course at Baltimore, you can either go inland on I-495 or across the water on I-695 Francis Scott Key Bridge.

All others that I know of just require the bottles be turned off. This includes all tunnels in the Hampton Roads/Tidewater area of Virginia. Also, most if not all ferries require the propane be turned off.

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
