Shower Trailers and Other Specialties

One Step Summer Camp is a kid’s camp located on Lake Geneva in Williams Bay, Wisconsin. It’s a little extra special: this camp is for children battling cancer. The concept of this camp is that just because a child has cancer doesn’t mean that he or she can’t get the same childhood experiences and memories that other kids have. The summer camp has many different programs ranging from standard summer camp to a camp that focuses on water sports or even one that focuses on adventuring. The programs are for children from seven years old to nineteen years old so that everyone has the opportunity to make friends and have fun with other kids that understand what they are going through.As summer camps are starting this month one hundred more kids have signed up for the camp and more kids means more restroom needs. With the influx of campers the camp decided to purchase two more restroom trailers from Portable Restroom Trailers. They have purchased an 8 unit shower combo trailer and a 12ft ADA trailer. The trailers provide a clean, safe and comfortable restroom for both the campers and the counselors. The shower trailer has toilets as well as showers. Because the camp is on a lake the shower trailer is the perfect choice because it gives the kids a private place to rinse of after a fun filled day of activities.The camp also bought a smaller ADA compliant trailer. Our ADA restroom trailers provide the same amenities as all our other restroom trailers with an added bonus of being handicap accessible. The ADA trailers have a no slip ramp and the restroom is large enough for a full 360 degree rotation of a wheelchair. These features provide a safe portable restroom for the kids that may be in a wheelchair or the kids that have limitations because of certain cancers.Imagine knowing that your kids have the benefit of a great summer camp, a clean, safe, private and comfortable restroom, and they are at a lake! We are proud to help a camp that has such a great mission. Keep it up One Step Summer camp!   

As we head into warmer weather, spending time outdoors will increasingly become the desired activity, especially since Memorial Day is this weekend! It is imperative for facilities to provide safe and healthy restroom accommodations. But portable restrooms aren’t always the only accommodations some facilities require.Shower Combo Trailers offer an additional benefit…showers. They are a great long or short term solution for facilities whose guests want to grab a quick shower after a long day. They provide a clean, comfortable, and private environment. Shower Combo Trailers are ideal for marinas, beaches, campsites, mining facilities, and government use. The following are some locations where we’ve recently sent portable shower trailers:Coast GuardOne of our most popular 24-foot Shower Combo units just went to the Coast Guard Training Center in Yorktown, VA. TC Yorktown is a facility that educates and trains in order to be ready to support the Coast Guard as a whole. The 6-station portable restroom and shower trailer contains six private suites, each with their own toilet, sink, shower, and changing area. It is also climate controlled for the comfort of those using it during the upcoming hot summer months. The trailer has a large 950 gallon water tank for plenty of uses without worry. While the unit can be put in place to function as a permanent station, it can also be easily relocated if necessary.Camp SunshineCamp Sunshine, located on Sebago Lake in beautiful Maine, is celebrating 30 years of providing families with children with life-threatening illnesses with a place of joy, peace, and rest. In order to help make life a bit more comfortable, they have just purchased a 2010 Shower Combo unit as an additional solution for their campsite. The trailer will provide each person total privacy and comfort while showering. The shower trailer is climate controlled for respite from the heat and each shower suite contains its own sink, toilet, and small changing area for convenience and peace of mind.City of MarquetteThe City of Marquette, MI purchased and received a Shower Combo Trailer for a marina that suffered damage to their main shower room from the harsh winter just in time for Memorial Day weekend. Now guests can continue to have the private, comfortable shower experience they had before. They also purchased an ADA compliant Single Shower Combo unit with a ramp to accommodate and keep guests with disabilities safe.While Memorial Day helps us to remember and appreciate those who have died while serving our country, it traditionally marks the beginning of summer vacation. The busy season for outdoor businesses is right around the corner. If you’re looking for portable restrooms or shower trailers for additional solutions, now is the time to call. 

There isn’t one state that hasn’t been affected by the crazy winter weather of 2014. Even Florida has experienced some unusually cold weather and had some snow blow through. As Valentine’s Day weekend approaches, the latest storm, Pax, isn’t showing any mercy. In fact, some states have “rescheduled” Valentine’s Day this year for February 18th!With all this winter mayhem, almost every aspect of life is being affected. Here are some examples from around the country of how badly these storms have affected so many.School districts have run out of snow days and are scrambling to find ways to make them upHundreds of car crashes have been reported (more than 200 in Georgia alone as a result of the latest storm)Power outages that have caused hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses to be in the darkLivestock and grain deliveries disruptedBusinesses losing money due to snow closings, road shut downs, power outagesAlthough it may seem that the storms only have a temporary affect, in reality, we may be seeing affects from this two or four months down the road. For instance, schools will have to make up the days during vacation weeks, holidays, and even at the end of the year. Some kids may still be going to school at the end of June.Since the weather has caused so much disruption of business around the country, Portable Restroom Trailers would like to remind you to plan ahead. Because of the massive storms that have blown through, manufacturing and production of portable restrooms has experienced delays. If you plan on ordering portable restrooms for the upcoming season, please do so as soon as possible so that you get your order in and started right away.If you are in an area being hit by the latest storm, please be careful and stay warm!

We’ve had a pretty cold and snowy winter all around the country thus far. For instance, in January alone, we’ve had Winter Storm Hercules who wreaked havoc with sub zero temps and piles of snow in the Midwest and Northeast, and just today, Winter Storm Janus who dumped about a foot of snow or more from Mid-Atlantic to southern New England.In order to keep things moving through all this crazy wintery mayhem, whether you have an outdoor work site, or you’re remodeling, or you’re hosting a large event, you may need a portable restroom trailer that will provide the extra space but that can function in the coldest, most grueling weather. Restroom trailers can come equipped with a full winterization package so that things can still operate smoothly without any delay. The package might include full climate control so you can utilize the heat, which may be baseboard heating or hot air, special seat covers to protect you from a cold toilet seat, and waste tank thermal protection so there’s no freezing tank or pipe issues. Some models even come with a working fireplace to create that at-home warm feeling. It’s all designed to make your life easier.Depending on where you are around the country, you may be experiencing unusually cold temperatures or massive amounts of snow, or both. And according to the Farmer’s Almanac, it’s not going to get better anytime soon. As a matter of fact, it’s predicting a frigid and possibly messy 2014 Super Bowl. So if you’re planning a Super Bowl party, get ready with lots of hot chocolate and warm snacks, and let Portable Restroom Trailers handle the bathroom accommodations for you.

Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, it’s starting to feel a lot more like winter. Holiday decorations are sprouting up on people’s lawns and the temperature is dropping quickly. While the snow and cold temperatures may be dreaded by some, there is one group that is definitely looking forward to the season; outdoor skaters!Whether on an outdoor skating rink or on a frozen pond, winter is the only time of year for lacing up your skates, bundling up, and enjoying the winter weather. For cities and towns that have outdoor skating rinks they are a great seasonal activity for tourists and locals alike.The City of Appleton, Wisconsin provides a total of four outdoor ice skating locations. They are free to the public and include warming areas and restrooms. For this and many other reasons, Appleton was voted one of the best places to live by Money Magazine in 2010.Outdoor ice rinks aren’t just for northern states. Fort Worth, Texas just got their first outdoor ice rink. The Coyote Drive-In is adding an outdoor rink to their business for the 2013-14 season. The ice skaters will have access to the same restrooms and concessions that the drive-in patrons will enjoy.Drive-In theaters that aren’t open year round could take a page from Coyote’s book. Adding an ice rink during their off-season could be a great way to add to the business.For new and established ice rinks, it is important to have the necessary restroom facilities. If your pond or outdoor rink does not have permanent restrooms, consider a restroom trailer to keep the skating going all day. Our climate controlled restroom trailers are perfect for cold weather conditions. We offer winterization packages for areas that experience extreme climate changes throughout the year, including additional heat, extra insulation, and waste tank protection from near-freezing temperatures.

Since 1775 women have served in various roles within the U.S. military. The largest number of women in the military was at an all time high during World War II, but most were discharged afterwards. The 70’s brought change and there was a climb in numbers of military women, with its peak in the late 80’s. Then in the late 90’s there was a substantial dip in the number of women serving, but once again women in the military are on the rise. Today there are more than 200,000 women in active duty, according to the Pentagon.To accommodate the large demographic of women serving, the government has had to come up with some modifications. Women and men need their own separate and private quarters, whether it’s for sleeping, showers, or bathrooms. Yet they need facilities that still correspond with the high standards of the military…good quality, safe, and sanitary.The demand for better restroom and shower facilities is now higher. That’s why the government has been testing restroom and shower trailers, as far as demographics go, so they can customize the trailers and place them in locations according to the results they find.Restroom trailers and restroom/shower combo trailers are perfect solutions. They can be modified and customized to fit specific needs. As well, the mobility and the combination of both amenities together is the ultimate convenience.Women in the military today are a new generation and have paved new roads, but they have integrated easily and their valuable contributions bring balance to the military. Thank you to all those serving in the military…we salute you!
