buy your vignette for Romania online beforehand. Much better than queuing up for it at the border.

Easy crossing in our camper from Bulgaria to Romania. €2 to cross the bridge (on the Bulgarian side). Bit of a queue with lorries on the bridge as only one lane in.

Report Check-InIt is a good idea to save a little Lei for the payment of bridge money. (15LEI) However, you can also pay in euros (3euro), but not dollars. If you want to buy a vignette at the petrol station before the bridge, you must also pay with LEI. They do not accept cards.
Do not use ATM at the border, has high exchange fee.
