Re: Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnell
I seem to recall from years ago that NO propane tanks are allowed in that tunnel. Don't know about the clearance.
On edit. There is still a restriction, but it looks like it is for 45 pounds per tank and greater (the way I read it) unless it is the vehicles fuel source.

I did a Google on the bridge and came up with 13'6" "Both tunnels have a height limit of 13 feet 6 inches" on Wikipedia.

Tractor trailers use it all the time. The view from the bridge is spectacular. There is a great parking area with restrooms on the Eastern Shore side of the tunnel. We stop there to turn off the propane on the way south and then to turn it back on going north. Usually the gate is open into the wildlife refuge and we take a good walk with the dogs. DO NOT stop at the restaurant in the middle of the bridge tunnel as there is little room for RVs to maneuver.
A few miles north of the bridge tunnel on the Eastern Shore is Stingrays restaurant. There is good RV parking and we always buy lots of barbecue sauce and Virginia Diner peanuts.

If you have anything that sets off that height detector, they will stop you ahead of the toll booth and run you thru a clearance detector. We used to drive a tractor trailer, our antenna on the mirror was just a tad over 13'6" - we'd get stopped every time for a height check, but they cleared us and we traveled it many times. Fireman Bills video is pretty cool - check it out!
