Where can a restroom trailer be placed?

The great thing about restroom trailers is that they are mobile and can be placed almost anywhere. There are a few things we want to avoid when placing, or parking a restroom trailer. First, restroom trailers are not allowed to be placed on public streets, alleys, or sidewalks without approval or permission from the local municipality or authority. Second, mobile bathroom trailers are very heavy, especially when the tank is full of water and/or waste. So we make sure the landing surface is either paved or compacted. If necessary, we can place blocks under each support leg to prevent ground sinking and/or damage to the surface. Third, the space where the restroom trailer is parked must be in space for our trucks to maneuver in-out and be accessible on both sides of the trailer. This is important because the backside of the unit is where the mechanical components are located. In the unlikely event of a water or power issue, our technicians must be able to access the service door. So parking up against a wall or a fence is okay as long as there is a greater 5-foot distance between the restroom trailer and fixed divider (wall or fence).

How much do portable restroom trailers cost?

Just like anything most things, it depends. However, you should expect to pay $800-$8000 to rent a portable restroom trailer. On the lower end ($800) this would be for a single-day mid-week rental of a 2-station bathroom trailer. On the high end ($8000) would be a month-long commercial rental for a 9-station luxury restroom trailer. So it depends on the size of the trailer, the duration of the rental, and the season. Depending on whom you rent from their inventory will also be reflected in the price. The size of the trailer is the single largest factor in price. The larger the restroom trailer the higher the prices. And depending on how long the bathroom trailer rental will be needed (night, day, weekend, mid-week, week, or month) will influence the price. However, the longer you rent the portable restroom trailer the cheaper your average daily rate will be. Lastly, seasonality is something that can drive the cost of a restroom trailer rental. For those summer and winter months there aren’t many events, so companies will rent the restroom trailer out for less. But during those peak wedding season months of fall and spring, prices historically have surged and are known to double.

How do I keep my restroom rental maintained during an event?

Luxury restroom trailers are simple to maintain and require little to no effort by those who rent a portable bathroom trailer. The three biggest things are: power, water, and supplies. The Lavatory luxury restroom trailers have air conditioning and heating units installed in them and require a dedicated 20 amp service. Typically a washing machine, home refrigerator, microwave, etc., are plugged into a 20A. They look like your standard 3-prong plug but one receptacle shaped like the letter “T.” Please work with your Lavatory luxury restroom trailer technician to find a dedicated 20A service. The trailer cannot be parked more than 100’ from where it’s plugged in. This will ensure that the heating/cooling and lights operate properly. Each portable restroom trailer can be connected to the city or local water with just your average ½” garden water hose. Similar to the power, this cannot be further than 100’ away from the restroom trailer. In the unlikely event it does, each trailer is equipped with a 200-gallon freshwater tank that can be filled on site. Lastly, keeping the luxury restroom trailer stocked with supplies is an absolute must. Each trailer is clean and fully stocked with supplies to accommodate single-day events. Additional supplies (toilet paper, towels, soap, etc.) can be found under the sink of both the men's and women’s stations.

What chemicals do you put in a portable toilet?

The Lavatory luxury mobile restrooms use a sophisticated pump and filtration system similar to those found in airplanes. This means the use of chemicals is limited. The only thing that we put in our tanks is scent tablets to help eliminate odor. They are used also for RVs and marine use. They are safe for all septic tanks and completely biodegradable, the drop-ins are made with an ultra-concentrated formula that does not contain the toxic, formaldehyde-releasing ingredient bronopol. Other than that, we use basic household chemicals to clean and sanitize the restroom trailers. We use a variety of products including bleach, multiple-purpose cleaner, and glass cleaner. Our luxury portable restroom trailers have Meyers brand hand soap and Purely hand sanitizer. Lastly, for extra freshness, each bathroom trailer has an automatic air freshener that sprays a pleasant smell into the air every 15-30 minutes.

Can portable toilets be used in hot climates?

It's much better and easier to have a portable restroom trailer than porta potties in hot climates. Each of The Lavatory luxury restroom trailers is equipped with an independent air conditioning system. The thermostat is located in the service room and is only accessible to our technicians. We do our best to keep the restroom trailer at a comfortable 68 degrees Fahrenheit. If you have a specific temperature request please let the technician know. Another thing to consider is the steps and handrails to get in and out of the trailer are also metal. When exposed to direct sunlight they can get very hot. So please be cautious when using the entry and exit hardware of a portable restroom trailer.

What are temporary restrooms for long-term rentals?

Long-term portable restroom trailers have exclusive commercial pricing and specific requirements. Having a restroom available to your employees and customers is typically required by most local city, county, and state government regulations. In the unexpected event, something happens to your onsite facilities, a temporary restroom in the form of a portable bathroom trailer rental can immediately accommodate your needs and requirements. Repairing a commercial restroom can be time-consuming and frustrating ordinal. But renting a temporary restroom trailer for short-term or long-term periods doesn’t need to be. Depending on the number of employees or expected customer use, we can help you determine what size luxury portable restroom trailer will accommodate your needs. Once the site has been determined for the presented use cases, identifying the parking location onsite will be the next challenge. Typically for long-term restroom trailer rentals, we tap directly into the local sewage. Where onsite sewage is not available to the bathroom trailer, we will schedule a local third-party pump service. The schedule and number of pumping services necessary will be determined by the portable restroom trailer’s usage frequency. All associated pump servicing fees are passed directly onto the customer. Along with sewage, the restroom trailer will be connected to onsite water and power. These hookups cannot be further than 100’ from the trailer. The bathroom trailer does have locks for security purposes. However, our preference is that the restroom trailer is enclosed in an area that is fenced off from public access. When securely enclosing the luxury restroom trailer isn’t possible, onsite security may be required or other arrangements may need to be made.

What is included in your restroom trailer price?

Customers just want to know what the bottom line price is. The Lavatory luxury mobile restrooms believe in offering flat rate no-nonsense pricing on all our portable bathroom trailers. The single price you’re quoted from The Lavatory is all you’ll ever pay for your restroom trailer rental. After providing the base rate, most of our competitors will add additional fees. Some of these fees can include taxes, sewage, sanitation, delivery, transportation, setup, administration, etc. All these fees can become exhausting and drive up the original base rate. The Lavatory includes all of this into a single, including taxes. Once the restroom trailer is delivered and set up, you’ll be completely stocked with paper products. This includes toilet paper and paper towels. Sanitation supplies, soap, and hand sanitizer will be topped off. Extra supplies can be found underneath each vanity on both the men's and women’s sides. Additional supplies may be found in the maintenance closet on the backside of the restroom trailer. The only exception here is for a long-term restroom trailer rental. Long-term is any temporary bathroom trailer rental lasting one week and longer.

Where will the luxury portable restrooms be set up?

Deciding where to place the portable restroom trailer needs identified before delivery. Several things need to be considered before setting up. The primary thing to consider is where the bathroom trailer will be parked. Once the portable restroom trailer is placed it cannot be moved. The surface area needs to be flat, cemented, or impacted enough to hold up 25,000LBS. The ideal location for setup is patios and driveways. The secondary considerations are the distance from power and water. The mobile restroom trailer cannot be parked further than 100’ from the power and water sources. The trailer’s powered services need a dedicated 20 amp service to adequately power the onsite heating/cooling system and lighting. Anything further than a 100’ run will not provide enough electricity to adequately power the unit. The same applies to the water hookup, if the distance is more than 100’ from the restroom trailer there may not be enough water pressure to service the sinks and toilets. Lastly, and often overlooked is the placement for aesthetic purposes. The bathroom trailer is the last backdrop anyone would want in a photo or be something people have to walk by before getting food. Think about a place where a portable restroom trailer can be easily accessed, but out of the way from everything else that may be going on. No matter where you decide to park the luxury bathroom trailer, a truck needs to be able to get in and out when dropping it off then picking it up.

Luxury Restroom Trailer For Wedding: Why Couples Love Them

More and more couples are moving away from traditional venues and leaning into outdoor settings such as historic barns, farms, ranches, private estates, and festival-style layouts. Honestly, we, too, believe that a wedding under a clear blue sky, surrounded by rolling hills, charming barns, and open fields, creates an idyllic and romantic atmosphere.

But these venues come with their own share of problems. The biggest being the RESTROOMS.

That's why a luxury restroom trailer for wedding celebrations has become a go-to choice for couples who want every detail, including the restrooms, to feel intentional rather than an afterthought.

What is a Luxury Restroom Trailer?

It's literally a normal bathroom, just on wheels.

Unlike standard porta-potties, a luxury restroom trailer isn't made up of individual sweltering plastic units but is a full-sized trailer with multiple private stalls/stations. Each station comes with all the amenities that you would expect in any regular restroom. It has:

flushing porcelain toilets
running hot and cold water in real sinks
interior & exterior LED lights
full-length vanity mirrors
wood-style flooring
air conditioning, heating, and ventilation

A luxury restroom trailer is a big cut above what people think of when they hear portable toilet. It is scrupulously clean, well supplied, convenient, and very functional.

For big outdoor weddings, it's a lifesaver, especially when the venue has no buildings nearby.

At a Glance: Why Couples Choose a Luxury Restroom Trailer Over a Porta-Potty

Feature	Luxury Restroom Trailer	Standard Porta-Potty
Interior Amenities	Flushing toilets, vanity mirrors, AC/heat, hot/cold running water.	Basic toilet seat, urinal, sanitizer dispenser (no running water).
Comfort & Space	Spacious, private, home-style feel.	Cramped, utilitarian, minimal space.
Hygiene	High (foot-pedal flushing mechanism, sink, professional cleaning).	Low (frequent odors, no handwashing station).
Aesthetics	Elegant, blends well with formal decor.	Industrial, often requires screening/tenting to hide.
Guest Capacity	High; better for long events with many guests.	Low; requires high unit count to prevent long lines.

Benefits of Getting a Luxury Restroom Trailer For Wedding

Enhanced Guest Experience

The Knot's data shows that the average wedding now hosts around 117 guests. Standard porta-potties (or even the flushable ones) can’t accommodate this many people. By the end of the Cocktail hour, they are often unpleasant, messy, and the last thing your guests might want to use.

I mean, imagine it: forcing guests in full-length bridesmaid dresses, tailored suits, and formal wear to squeeze into a cramped, unlit box without running water. It will, without doubt, result in a miserable experience.

A luxury restroom trailer ensures every guest's needs are fully accommodated, with enough room to move without ruining an outfit. Even the smallest 2-station restroom trailer comes with a male/female division and can easily accommodate up to 150 event guests. NO long lines. NO excessive wait times. NO overwhelmed septic tank.

A 5-station restroom trailer can accommodate up to 500 guests.

Guests are always amazed by how nice they are, and most say they couldn't tell the difference from a regular bathroom.

Clean, Hygienic, and Odor-Free

In the middle of July, a standard porta-potty acts like a greenhouse in the sun. It traps heat and odors. Plus, the holding tank underneath that carries waste only makes things worse as the day goes on.

A luxury restroom trailer is clean, bright, and very functional, and is sealed more tightly to prevent water from leaking on the floor. It also has a built-in ventilation system that pulls stale air out and brings in fresh air.

Some modern restroom trailers even offer automatic flushing toilets, foot-pedal or motion-activated faucets, and automatic soap dispensers. No need to touch anything.

Lastly, these luxury trailers are professionally serviced and cleaned before delivery, so you start your big day with a fresh, clean, and sterile bathroom.

A luxury restroom trailer ensures your every guest stays clean, comfortable, and healthy.

Privacy, Aesthetics, and Versatility

A luxury restroom trailer is also an upscale solution that fits right in among trees, open skies, and sunset views without looking out of place. It has spacious, private rooms with interior LED lighting, full-length vanity mirrors, wood-style flooring, gel-coated fiberglass walls, and stainless steel hardware.

And if your guest list includes someone who needs extra care and love, ADA-compliant luxury restroom trailers are available as well. These trailers meet California and federal ADA standards, include an easy-to-deploy ramp, and are designed to be lowered during installation for easier access. They also come equipped with an ADA sink, AC and heating, two standard private restrooms, and one California ADA restroom.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many portable restroom trailers do you need for a wedding?

That surely depends upon certain factors such as your guest count, your guests' ages, accessibility needs, the length of the event, and whether alcohol, coffee, or full meals will be served. Weather can also play a role, since colder temperatures may increase restroom use. The American Restroom Association (ARA) recommends one unit per 50–75 guests for a four-hour event. So, for a wedding with fewer than 150 guests, a 2-station luxury restroom is usually a good fit. For larger weddings with 200 to 600 guests, a 5-station restroom is typically sufficient.

What amenities should you look for in a luxury restroom trailer for a wedding day?

Look for flushable toilets, running hot and cold water in real sinks, climate control (air conditioning/heating and ventilation), vanities with mirrors, and a clean, upscale interior. These are the details that make a trailer feel just as nice, if not nicer, than a regular bathroom.

Can portable restrooms be customized to match my wedding theme?

Yes. You can decorate the trailer however you want. We won’t do it, but you can make changes or modifications to the unit itself.

Are restroom trailers suitable for both indoor and outdoor events?

Restroom trailers work well for both. They are especially useful for outdoor settings (like parks, farms, or vineyards) where plumbing is rarely available nearby. But they also complement indoor venues (like historical buildings or large tents) that often rely on septic systems that can't keep up with the number of guests.

What types of mobile restroom trailers do you offer for rental in Arizona?

We offer three main sizes from which you can choose as per your guest count and needs. A 2-station trailer works well for smaller events, up to about 150 guests. A 5-station trailer is ideal for medium-sized weddings with 200 to 400 guests. A 9-station trailer is for big events like festivals, with 500 or more guests. We also offer shower trailers for overnight events. All you need is a garden hose for water and a nearby power outlet. The trailer arrives clean and ready to use, with all paper products and supplies included. All you have to do is book our restroom trailer and tell us where to park it.
