The History Behind Portable Restroom Trailers

Most people have used a porta potty at some time in their lives. Whether it's traveling in a remote area or attending an outdoor event, you have probably needed and used this necessary commodity. The original porta potties were manufactured in the 1960s, and they have continued to grow in popularity due to their convenience. Any outdoor adventure or event can be ruined without the accessibility of a restroom.

After porta-potties had been introduced to the world, it became obvious that there were occasions when nicer mobile restroom facilities were needed. People who were dressed for certain occasions such as graduations, parties, concerts, weddings, or other outdoor events found porta-potties to be somewhat distasteful, lacking space, cleanliness, and atmosphere. A cleaner and more luxurious product needed to be developed to accommodate these types of events and the mobile restroom trailer was the perfect solution. Created to be portable, versatile, and upscale, many event coordinators rent bathroom trailers to offer a cleaner solution to their guests. There are numerous options for bathroom trailers including the number of stalls, handicapped accessibility, elite sinks and woodwork, and more.

When Restroom Trailers Are Useful

Many outdoor events call for bathroom trailers. These include outdoor parties, weddings, black-tie events, wedding receptions, movie sets, sports events, carnivals, and any outdoor VIP event where you want to offer your guests luxury accessories such as running water, air conditioning and toilets that flush. Construction site managers also often take advantage of bathroom trailers as their workers like to clean up and enjoy comfortable bathroom facilities in an otherwise dirty environment. Disaster relief organizations need to rent toilet trailers after hurricanes, floods or major storms that leave people stranded without modern plumbing.

Types of Portable Restroom Trailers

Toilet trailers come in plenty of sizes, costs and amenity options for you to choose from. Of course, these are a step up from a porta potty, so you can expect a cleaner, more spacious bathroom experience. Restroom trailer rental prices are dependent upon the type and size of trailer you rent.

Standard restroom trailer:

A standard restroom trailer can house from one to eleven bathroom stalls for both men and women. Trailers can specify restrooms for men and women or make all restrooms unisex. Restrooms specifically for women have enclosed stalls, while those for men often have urinals and at least one enclosed stall. There are sinks available, as well as lighting, heating, and sometimes air-conditioning.

Upscale restroom trailers contain all of the accessories of the standard toilet trailers, but they also offer a nearly unlimited number of amenities from which to choose.
