Under Bend's parking code, trailers, campers, boats, and other non-motorized vehicles may not be parked on a public street or lot for more than 72 hours unless attached to a motor vehicle. RV slide-outs may not block a sidewalk, and commercial vehicles over 26,000 lbs are barred from residential zones 9 p.m.–7 a.m.
Bend's parking code limits how recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers can be stored on public streets. Trailers, campers, boats, and other non-motorized vehicles may not be parked on a street or in a public off-street parking facility for more than 72 hours unless they are attached to a vehicle designed for or capable of self-propulsion. In other words, an unhitched trailer, boat, or camper left on the street beyond 72 hours is subject to enforcement. RVs and vehicles with slide-outs or other protrusions may not extend so as to obstruct a sidewalk or travel lane. The code also restricts large vehicles in neighborhoods: commercial vehicles weighing more than 26,000 pounds may not park in residentially zoned districts between 9:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. These on-street rules are separate from private-property storage; for parking an RV or boat on your own lot, check the Bend Development Code and confirm current standards with the City. Bend updated its parking code, so operators should review the City's current parking-code page for the latest provisions.
Parking a non-motorized trailer, boat, or camper on a public street or in a public lot beyond 72 hours, blocking a sidewalk or travel lane with an RV protrusion, or parking an over-26,000-pound commercial vehicle in a residential zone overnight are enforced under Bend's parking code, typically through citation and potential towing by Bend Parking Services.
