WOW........... I wouldn't try it........... if there is any other way to go. We measured ours hitched and it was just at 13' ........... Please remember that if they have done any work on road that 13'6" may not be correct (if they have redone the asphalt. Of course if you follow a semi!!!

Height is no problem, but propane tanks are not allowed.

Propane tanks are allowed, but the gas valves have to be off. Check here: Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel -- GAS REGULATIONS

13'6" is the maximum height of most semis on the road....that is kinda the standard. I can't imagine the Columbus being any higher, but measuring it would probably give some peace of mind.

Go through there all the time with our crusader 320 rlt. Height not an issue, semi's use it all the time. Person working toll booth only asks if propane bottles are shut, they don't check........

Thanks for the replies. Think we will measure just to be safe.
I would think if semi trucks can fit we would be fine.
But with our luck, we will measure.
