Renting an RV in Reno: what to know before pickup
Reno has its own arrival logistics. Reno KOA at Boomtown handles both the first night and the dump station. 3 street-parking ordinances apply to RVs here — each cited in the arrival guide.
Street parking reality
A Class C overhanging the meter strip in the downtown corridor draws an immediate citation. Use the Reno Aces Stadium peripheral lots or stay at a campground and ride RTC Ride.
