Trailer Questions
Are Royal Restrooms trailers accessible for people with disabilities?
Royal Restrooms does offer a trailer that is specifically designed for people with disabilities. It has an easy access ramp, a spacious interior, and is fully ADA-compliant with specifications.
Are Royal Restrooms trailers climate controlled?
The restroom trailers have heat and air-conditioning for the comfort of your guests.
Where can Royal Restrooms trailers be placed?
Royal Restrooms trailers can be placed almost anywhere. Consult with your local Royal Restrooms office to locate the best area. Ideally a restroom will be placed on level ground with access that is not obstructed with low hanging branches, low hanging power lines or fencing. Safety is Royal Restrooms’ primary concern, so a location should be chosen where the guests can see and get to the trailer easily but without taking from the events appearance. For long-term rentals, placement is important for servicing and pick-up. A service truck must be able to get within 25 feet of the drain valve on the trailers.
How many restroom and shower trailers do I need for my event?
Consulting with a local Royal Restrooms office is the best way to evaluate an event’s needs. Their experience with past events will be the best authority on the number of stalls needed. Restroom capacity is quoted on what type of event is being held, the number of people attending, and the length of the rental. For instance, a black tie fund raiser with alcohol with 200 guests which will last 4 hours will have very different needs than an all day family festival with 200 guests. Please be realistic when estimating the number of guests expected so that tank capacity and “wait in line time” can be evaluated. As a general rule, the following estimates may be used:
- Single-Stall Restroom – 100 or less
- Two-Stall Restroom – 200 or less
- Three-Stall Restroom – 400 or less
- ADA-Plus Two-Stall Restroom – 300 or less
- Ten-Stall Restroom – 1000 or less
Do portable restroom and shower trailers produce any odor?
Royal Restrooms strives to keep their restroom and shower trailers as clean as possible. This includes cleaning out the waste holding tanks so that they do not accumulate an odor as well as the most technological cleaning and disinfecting products. However, a Royal Restrooms restroom is a bathroom and therefore may develop an odor after extended use.
What sizes do the restroom and shower trailers come in?
The restroom and shower trailers come in different sizes to accommodate every situation. Floor plans and brochures are available on our website.
How do I choose the right restroom or shower trailer for my event?
Royal Restrooms employees will help you decide which restroom or shower trailer will be the best for your event. Considerations are number of guests, length of rental, and “wait in line time”.
How do I get pricing or reserve a restroom or shower trailer?
Royal Restrooms has a 24-hour hotline phone number, 800-969-7434 for reservations. You may also reserve a Royal Restrooms trailer on our Contact Us page.
How far in advance should I reserve a restroom or shower trailer?
Royal Restrooms recommends reserving a restroom or shower trailer as soon as it is decided that it will be needed. The trailers are on a first-come-first-serve basis. In order to confirm a reservation, the deposit amount located on the contract must be paid. All quotes are subject to availability at the time of quote.
Restroom Trailer Questions
Can a restroom trailer be placed inside a tent?
Tents with a center pole (giving ventilation through the roof) are typically okay. Other styles of tents may trap the venting fumes causing an unhealthy/unpleasant situation. Use of tents is subject to approval by your local inspectors.
When will the restroom trailer be delivered?
Special deliveries and pickups may be set up upon request. There may be an additional charge for this service.
Does someone need to be onsite when the restroom trailer is delivered?
It is not necessary to have someone on site for the trailer to be delivered. However, if there is a specific location that the trailer must be in, then it would be best for someone to meet the driver of the trailer.
How much does it cost to rent a restroom trailer in my area?
The cost of portable restrooms varies depending on what city and state the Royal Restrooms trailer will be delivered to. Offices are nationwide and individually owned and operated and therefore have different price rates.
Shower Trailer Questions
Do you provide shower trailers?
A Royal Restrooms shower trailer has a toilet, sink, and of course, a shower in each private stall.
Trailer Water & Power Requirement Questions
What are the water requirements for restroom and shower trailers?
There are two options for water requirements for Royal Restrooms trailers. First, the trailers can be hooked into a normal water spigot via garden hose. The second option is to fill the unit’s fresh water holding tank for usage. Once empty, the fresh water would need to be filled as needed.
What are the power requirements for the trailers?
There are two options for power requirements for Royal Restrooms trailers. First, the trailers can be run off of a generator. (The generator would need to be filled with gasoline once empty.) The second option is to use a 110 volt outlet (or regular electrical plug-in).
Can your restroom or shower trailers be used where water or power is unavailable?
The Royal Restrooms facilities may be used where water and power is unavailable. Most of the Royal Restrooms trailers utilize one 110 volt outlet and the water supply hooks into a normal water spigot. The units can be run off of a generator and the fresh water tank can be filled for usage as well. Once empty, the fresh water tank would need to be filled as needed and the generator would need to be filled with gasoline once empty. If the unit is used via garden hose and regular electrical plug-in, the usage would be continuous until the waste tank is full.
