In unincorporated San Bernardino County, residential parking is governed by the County Development Code rather than a dedicated RV ordinance. Parking is not allowed in the front-yard setback except in the driveway, and required parking areas cannot be used to store boats, campers or trailers. RVs may not be occupied as dwellings.
In unincorporated San Bernardino County, the Development Code permits driveway parking for single-family homes but bars parking elsewhere in the front-yard setback. Driveways and off-street parking areas must be surfaced (typically two inches of asphaltic concrete in the Valley Region), and driveway widths and dimensions follow Development Code standards.
San Bernardino County Development Code Section 83.11.100 directly regulates parking of commercial vehicles (truck tractors, trucks and trailers over 10,000 lbs GVWR) in residential zones. Such vehicles generally must be parked off the street, behind the front setback, and meet acreage and setback thresholds that vary by region.
On streets in unincorporated San Bernardino County, no vehicle may be parked or stored in one spot for more than 72 consecutive hours under County Code Section 52.0119.

Unincorporated San Bernardino County does not impose a general overnight on-street parking ban or permit requirement. The main limit is the 72-hour continuous-parking rule in County Code Section 52.0119, so a vehicle may legally remain on the street overnight as long as it is moved within 72 hours and is legally parked.
