Traveling through interstate tunnels with propane

[mandalay07]

Has anyone had personal experiences on interstate highway tunnels when carrying onboard propane? Have you been turned away? Can you turn off the propane and be allowed to pass through?

Hi mandalay07,

The road signs will tell you what the rules for each tunnel are. There are also books on this subject. I follow the posted rules and have never had a problem. As to the Baltimore Tunnel, don't do it. It has never been available to vehicles carrying propane. Just choose an alternate route.

Traveling over Boulder Dam, where propane is restricted, MH propane tanks are not a problem. Same was true for the short tunnel below the runway of the Las Vegas airport.

You can find reference material in both the Trailer Life Campground and Passport America books that shows which tunnels in which states where propane is prohibited. There are only a few states where carrying propane in a MH or TT are prohibited.
