Restroom Trailer Tips & Education

A bathroom trailer is a convenient item to have. It is ideal for outdoor events. It provides comfort to work crews who work onsite for long hours.  But portable bathrooms face one common problem. They are not all equipped to handle winter weather. The cold temperatures may cause hoses to clog with ice. They may cause water tanks and equipment to freeze.  Fortunately, there are ways to protect your bathroom trailer from the winter weather. Here are some helpful tips.  Keep the Water Supply from Freezing You can prevent your water supply from freezing by wrapping heat tape around a ¾” garden hose. Hold it in place with a piece of duct tape. Place foam tube installation around the heat tape and hose. Then use more duct tape to secure the foam. Leave all connecting ends, plugs, and power lights exposed so you can still connect the water and power. Leave the test lights exposed to ensure the hose continues working.  Ensure the Interior Temperature Stays High Your bathroom may need some help maintaining a temperature that prevents elements from freezing. You can do that by setting electric heaters below the unit. Here are the steps you must take. Construct a 2x2’ or 2x4’ wood frame that fits under the unit. The box should fit over the bottom of the unit. Fill gaps (if any) with insulation.  Cut a ½” plywood to fit each side of the trailer’s frame. The stairs should be out and in place before measuring for accuracy.  Measure and cut a 6x6” wood square to block drain access. Attach it with hinges so you can access the drain when necessary. The step will prevent the valve from freezing. Eliminate gaps and holds below the unit with insulation at a minimum strength of R-13. Staple the insulation inside the box.  Cut the insulation in half and place it on the ground where the box will be installed. This step removes the gap between the wood and the ground protecting the unit from the cold. Fill small gaps with insulation.  Bubble wrap the outside of the wood unit and staple it in place to close gaps between the boards and corners and keep heat in and cold air out.  Use electrical tape to cover exposed plugs.  How to Store Your Bathroom During the Winter If you don’t plan to use your bathroom trailer during the winter, you must store it safely to keep it in good shape. You must temporarily prevent water or power use by: Draining the water from the lines Adding non-toxic RV ‘Pink Water System” antifreeze to the system Unplugging the unit We are Your Recommended Bathroom Trailer Provider A bathroom trailer is a useful item that will endure every season with the right maintenance steps.

When it comes to managing an event or project, it seems that nothing runs from start to finish without something going at least a little bit south. Whether it’s a mistake with the caterer, an incorrect meeting reservation, missing equipment, and other nuances that come with the job, something at some point will simply go wrong. There is no such thing as a perfectly run project or event - what separates the good managers from the great is how those mistakes are handled. When it comes to facilities, a portable bathroom trailer has been known to save the day. Anticipating those things that go wrong makes you an excellent manager, especially when it comes to events and special projects. Ensuring that you have access to the necessary contacts, tools, and resources that can save an event from those mistakes is a big part of the job. That’s why we are proud to partner with managers and provide a portable bathroom trailer when needed. When all else goes wrong, the last thing you want to worry about is the bathroom. Many outdoor venues may not have an upscale option, and offsite work projects may take your team to locations where a restroom is not provided. It’s our job to make sure that you are equipped in the sanitation department. Here are three ways that a portable bathroom trailer can literally save your project or event. Suprise! There is no Bathroom We have seen it happen before. An event planner arrives onsite for the big day. They begin getting set up, everything seems to be going according to schedule. Then, a staff member looks for the restroom - and doesn’t find it! When a brick-and-mortar restroom is not an option, a bathroom trailer rental is the next best thing. We design our trailers with intention and style them in a way that can complement any event atmosphere. We deliver quickly and efficiently, so rest assured your restroom will arrive on time! For project managers, a similar storyline can occur. For industries like construction, electricity, or engineering, when leaving the office becomes a part of the job, you’ll find yourself in locations where restrooms are not even a thought. In industries like these, working in empty lots, fields, and other secluded or removed areas is common. Be prepared and ensure your staff has the amenities they need. A portable bathroom trailer guarantees that a great restroom is checked off of your to-do list.  Outdoors = Porta Potty Party In the event and project management industries, we have all been faced with the dreaded porta-potty experience. That row of blue or beige lets you know that an upscale bathroom is not on the menu for the day. Extreme temperatures make the trip uncomfortable, The cleaning team is nowhere to be found, and you are seriously contemplating “holding it.” Or finding a secluded bush! No need to fear the porta-potty any longer. With a portable bathroom trailer, you experience all the amenities of a home restroom. Climate-controlled trailers, spacious stalls, flushing toilets - all those little things that we take for granted when in the office, but in this moment are MUCH appreciated. Cancel that porta-potty reservation and ensure that you, your staff, and/or your guests have the best possible restroom experience.  Is it working? Is it Clean??  Sometimes, you show up onsite at a new event or project and find that the restroom is… not up to par. From clogged toilets to damp floors to no toilet paper or towels, a public bathroom can get ugly, quickly. Your staff may be amazing and willing to do anything to ensure that all goes smoothly for the day, but cleaning a bathroom? It’s simply not in the job description. When the provided restroom is not the solution, a portable bathroom trailer is a quick and easy answer. Our team is equipped to get your rental to you as quickly as possible, and we can guarantee that it will arrive in clean and elegant condition.
