Why should I choose a restroom trailer versus a port a potty?

Portable restroom trailers have come a long way in recent years, and today they offer many of the same amenities as your average home bathroom. Running water, climate controlled interiors, flushable porcelain toilets, and interior running lights are just some of the features that make them so popular. Porta-potties are often gross and smelly, but we have a solution. Bathroom trailers offer all the amenities of your own toilet at home.

Are restroom trailers cleaner than port-a-potties?

Restroom trailers do give off a cleaner appearance than port-a-potties. This is due to the fact that port-a-potties don't flush, frequently smell, are extremely cramped and uncomfortable.

Can restroom trailers accommodate more guests than a port-a-potty?

In terms of capacity, portable restroom trailers can easily accommodate two times as much traffic or even more. Restroom trailers usually have more than one restroom, so they can accommodate multiple guests. Compared to a port-a-potty which can only accommodate one guest at a time.

Is a portable restroom trailer better than a port-a-potty for my event?

In general, bathroom trailers are going to offer a more spacious place for guests to use the facilities especially during something like a concert or wedding. When you are in an area that's extremely rural keep it mind that you need a flat level ground for the restroom trailer, so in that case a port-a-potty might be a more suitable option for your event. An often overlooked aspect to consider is the weather. Restroom trailers provide AC and heat, so they are comfortable year round, but port-a-potties on the other hand do not provide these same comforts. Finally, consider your budget. Restroom trailers are definitely more expensive to purchase than a port-a-potty, but we think the benefits outweigh the costs.

Do you offer financing for restroom trailers?

We can recommend several different trailer financing options if you need assistance financing your restroom trailer purchase.

A fresh water source is a must-have for many of our larger trailers. All that is needed is a garden hose and some additional equipment, and you'll be able to hook up your trailer to an external water source in no time at all.
