The motorhome tanks also have an excess flow valve, if there is a sudden release of pressure (rapid leak) the valve closes. This may also happen when you open the shutoff valve too quickly after refilling. If it does, close the shutoff valve and then open again . slowly.

The Baltimore Harbor Tunnel does prohibit propane in over 10 pound containers. but they recommend the using I-695 and the Francis Scott Key bridge to bypass the tunnel.
