The GSP allows travel trailers, you just have to pay extra (by the axle)
and go through attended booths (no change baskets, no aiming
problems!). I'd imagine a boat would be the same deal.

I don't recall a designated truck route next to the GSP (I think the
Jersey Turnpike has separate truck/car lanes separated by rail & median)
but US9 runs parallel all the way to Cape May.
