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. There are many ways that a portable restroom rental can help.
Anticipating those things that go wrong make 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 portable restroom rental units 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, and when Fellowship Greenville needed portable restroom assistance at a church-wide event, they found us.
The Importance of Fellowship
Now matter what beliefs or religion you follow, one thing is always encouraged: fellowship. Spending time with like-minded individuals has a way of building us up, and this is definitely a priority at Fellowship Greenville. They are an exciting church that loves welcoming new people into their fold. Read a little bit about them:
“The church’s purpose includes, but is not limited to, establishing and maintaining religious worship, promoting personal evangelism, developing Christian discipleship, and encouraging Christian fellowship. This will be accomplished by building, maintaining, and operating churches, and any other ministries that the church may be led by God to establish. It is also authorized to license, ordain, and commission individuals to the Gospel ministry.
We live in an age and culture full of misconceptions about Christianity. As a result, many people are left with negative impressions of Christians and the church as a whole.
We want to live in such a way that others can't help but see what authentic Christianity looks like. Our hope is that the misconceptions people might have carried for a long time will begin to fade away as we seek to become a community of grace, passionately pursuing life and mission with Jesus. We long for people to be drawn back to Jesus, seeing him and the life he offers in a fresh, new way.”
When this church asked us to help them with a portable restroom rental for their upcoming event, we were happy to help.
EVENT SOLUTIONS WITH A PORTABLE RESTROOM RENTAL
The church had their own brick-and-mortar restroom option, but feared that with the large event ahead, those bathrooms would not be quite enough. They were in need of a small extension to their already existing bathroom, and we were happy to assist them.
After hearing about their needs, we decided on the Three Station Portable Restroom Rental, Comfort Elite Series. This rental, measuring 16 feet with a 125 gallon fresh water tank and 500 gallon waste tank, is compact but mighty. It can service up to 350 visitors before requiring maintenance, which allows the company’s employees to use the restroom comfortably and whenever they need it.
To ensure safe entry, the porch to each of the portable restroom rental’s entry doors is equipped with ample lighting for easy access no matter what time, day or night. The entry ways have two sturdy aluminum steps and railing for additional safety.
On this Comfort Elite Series portable restroom rental, guests will find three private bathrooms: two for women and one for men. All restrooms are designed with style in mind, showcasing earth tone interiors with modern flooring and color coordinated surfaces. They also include water saving flushable toilets, a sink vanity with a shatterproof mirror, hand dryer, and paper towels.
The men’s suite of this portable restroom rental is versatile with a toilet and urinal option.To ensure the entire unit maintains a comfortable climate, air conditioning and heat strips are installed and able to adjust the temperature so that outdoor weather does not affect the interior’s experience. As an added measure, insulated walls and ceiling surround the entire unit, further aiding in keeping the interior temperature just right.
Overall, this is a versatile unit that worked perfectly for Fellowship Greenville’s visitors during their 10 day event, providing a positive experience for every guest.
As we continue to partner with new businesses, we want to highlight the value of purchasing a restroom rental with the Smarter Restrooms App feature. Read ahead to discover three key upgrades that the app provides.
- Receive Timely Notifications
Each portable bathroom trailer unit comes with water saving flushable toilets, running water from sinks, and sometimes, showers and other amenities. This means that fresh water tank and waste tank levels require careful monitoring.
No need to do this math on your own any longer! The Smarter Restroom App sends the fleet managers alert notifications when waste and freshwater tank levels are 2⁄3 full or empty, causing the unit to be out of service shortly. This is sure to boost productivity, allowing your team to have easy access to the information they need to keep restroom rentals operating smoothly.
- All-In-One Control System
Nothing is more important than the experience of your guests. We want to ensure that every user has a comfortable experience in a climate-controlled unit with all the amenities of a brick-and-mortar restroom. This is an easy achievement with the app’s system operations control feature.
The app detects and controls shore power, interior climate temperatures, and up-to-date weather conditions, giving units winter protection from freezing temperatures and keeping things cool when hot. This ensures that restroom fleet managers stay updated from a remote location - they’ll know what changes are needed to the unit and when, which allows for a consistently pleasant restroom experience for guests.
The app also allows for geometric locating, allowing managers to see the exact locations of all portable bathroom trailers at all times.
- Offsite Unit Management
The most tasking part of operating a portable bathroom trailer fleet is basic management. Making the trip back and forth to one or many units takes up valuable time, which can lower efficient customer service. The app addresses this issue as well.
Managers have capabilities to remotely control lights, air conditioning, heating, water heaters, and trailer power. This means managers can operate more restroom trailers off-site, expand their operations, and provide superior service.
Overall, the Smarter Restrooms App was developed to allow businesses who use or own restroom rentals to manage them more effectively. The app allows the management team to get more done in less time, makes fleet operations easier in general, and saves valuable employee time. Now, with the app, portable bathroom trailer renters and owners can ensure that restroom visitors have a top-notch experience with less manual labor.

Winterize Your Portable Bathroom Rentals
For those who experience extreme weather conditions, we know how hard it can get to maintain your restroom trailer. Maintenance issues are bound to arise: what if your water freezes? What if the hose gets clogged by ice? How do you keep your restroom guests comfortable during use?
These are all thoughts we’ve had when thinking about how to continue to improve our product. We want you to have the highest quality experience possible after your purchase. When it comes to cold weather, note these tips to ensure your restroom trailers stay functioning and keep that high quality for long periods of time.
PROTECT YOUR WATER SUPPLY
- Wrap heat tape around a ¾” garden hose. Use duct tape to hold it in place, about every 12 inches.
- Put foam tube insulation around the hose and heat tape. Leave the plugs and power lights uncovered.
- Run duct tape down the insulation, leaving the connecting ends, plugs and power lights uncovered. If you cover them, you will not be able to connect the water or power. Leave test lights and power lights uncovered (for testing and to be sure the hose remains working).
CREATE A BOX
- Place two 1500-watt electric heaters under the unit. Be sure you have sufficient power!
- Build a 2×2 or 2×4 wood frame to fit underneath each side of the unit. This is going to box the bottom of the outside of the unit.
- Fill any gaps with insulation
- Cut ½” plywood to fit frame for each side. Be sure to consider stairs when cutting your wood. Stairs should be out and in place before measuring.
- Measure and cut out a 6”x6” square to cover the drain access. Attach this with hinges so you can access the drain when needed. This will protect drain valve from freezing.
- Eliminate gaps and holes on the tongue side of the unit with R-13 (or greater) insulation.
- Staple insulation inside the wood box
- Cut a piece of insulation in half and lay it on the ground where the box will be placed. This eliminates gaps between the wood and the ground.
AFTER PLYWOOD IS ATTACHED
- Fill any small gaps on the top and bottom of the box with insulation
- Staple bubble wrap around the outside of the wood unit. This closes of gaps and keeps cold air out and heat in.
- Use electrical tape to cover plug connections that will remain outside.
FOR UNITS NOT IN USE FOR THE WINTER
Eliminate the use of power and water until the unit is ready to be used again.
- Drain water from all the lines.
- Add non-toxic RV “Pink Water System” antifreeze
- Unplug
Follow these simple tips and your restroom trailers will maintain their quality for a long time coming!
