Fairly new to rving. can I travel thru the Baltimore inner harbor tunnel with my fifth wheel? I have heard that if I shut off my propane tanks it is ok.

Have you reviewed http://www.mdta.maryland.gov/toll_facilities/bht.html ?

“Vehicles carrying bottled propane gas in excess of 10 pounds per container (maximum of 10 containers), bulk gasoline, explosives, significant amounts of radioactive materials, and other hazardous materials are prohibited from using both the Fort McHenry and Baltimore Harbor Tunnels. In addition, vehicles in excess of 13 feet, 6 inches, in height, or 96 inches (8 feet) in width; and all double trailers are prohibited from using the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel. For additional information regarding these restrictions, please call 410-537-1374.”

Or just asked us? The above doesn’t say “shut off” propane. It gives weight per container restrictions. What you “heard” appears...inaccurate. How wide is your RV? By tape measure, not the manufacturer.
