Baltimore Tunnel??
Anybody know of a good way to travel pulling a camper from northern New Jersey to Williamsburg Va? Can't go straight down 95 through tunnel due to camper propane bottles.
Thank you!

I695 is the beltway that goes around Baltimore. You can go either direction, as it is almost the same distance. The eastern side will take you over the Francis Scott Key Bridge. I've pulled my RV many times through this area.

Personally I would take the outer loop of I-695 coming south. Be careful the time you go through Baltimore and DC, That is a challenging area to pull a camper, I-95 South of DC is packed with traffic.
If you take US301 South after you come over the Delaware Bridge and follow it to MD 50 and take the Bay Bridge and continue on 301 you will avoid some traffic. If you want a real adventure Take US13 out of Wilmington and follow it all the way down the DelMarVa peninsula crossing the Bay Bridge Tunnel ($20 toll with camper), that will drop you in VA Beach and you just need to head west on I-64 to Williamsburg.

It’s about 125 miles longer than taking I95. However, it might well take less time. IIRC, the only toll is the bridge near Phillipsburg.
Seriously!

I peronally try to avoid the whole mess. For me since I live more western I'd rather make my way towards Harrisonburg pa and either stay on I 81 or you could take US 15S towards Gettysburg, passing thru Frederick on down to the DC beltway.
All those tolls and then I95 being the disaster it is, I would avoid it unless it is mid day or at night, like after 8 pm.

The bridge is not too bad if there is no cross wind. I have been on that bridge with cross wind. Yeah it was a fun time for me in the old trailer. If I am going south, I generally go the western side of the 695 loop. Baltimore and DC are the pits when it comes to traffic.
Good luck with the trip planning.
