tunnels and bridges

[eric.henning]

I'm having a slight panic attach here. Taking my 9 week old GMC from
Philadelphia down to Myrtle Beach tonite. I've never
driven a Class A (or Class C, B...) before. You listees in the Baltimore area,
can I go thru the tunnels in Baltimore or do I have to go around? What about in
the rest of the country? Do tunnels allow us thru with our propane tanks?

Please respond directly to me as I am on the digest and my not get responses in
time.

Thanks!

If there were any direct responses, I would like to have them posted to
the mailing list also, as it would be interesting information to know.

Well, I've gone South thru the Baltimore tunnel in the GMC a couple of
times with no problem. Last year we went North across the Bay Bridge-Tunnel
from Va Beach with no probem. I believe Dallas Jensen has made the passage
acros the Bridge-Tunnel a number of times.
