Portland ME. Parking a dually

Hey all

Planning a trip to Maine after Labor Day. We want to visit Portland and heard that parking can be quite bothersome with a dually. Anybody have experience with this? Apparently the train isnt running due to track work. We’re planning to go during the week.
  • Streets are definitely too narrow for parking, some are even difficult just to get through!

    Main drag where the lots are located is plenty wide.
  • Stick to the paid lots and you'll be okay. Streets are definitely too narrow for parking, some are even difficult just to get through!
  • Some of the on-street metered parking is big enough but I would stick to the parking lots mentioned above.
  • Parking a dually just about ANYWHERE can be a PITA. LOL

    Good luck with your adventure.

  • If you go to the north end of the main waterfront street (Commercial?) there are several large,unpaved lots. Close to everything.
