Let’s be honest, when you’re planning an event, there are a million things on your plate. You’re juggling caterers, entertainment, seating, and a thousand other tiny details. But here’s a secret most event planners learn the hard way: nothing makes or breaks your guests’ experience quite like the bathrooms. Yep, we said it. The humble restroom trailer is the unsung hero of every great event.
You might not notice a top-notch restroom trailer, but you will remember the ones that make you hold your breath and cross your legs. No one wants to wait in a line that wraps around the block, sweat through a heatwave in a stinky porta-potty, or try to gracefully navigate a dark bathroom while wearing a fancy dress.
So, if you want your event to be memorable for all the right reasons, you need to get your restroom game on point. But here’s the catch: not all restroom trailers are created equal, and not all companies have your back like true bathroom heroes.
We’re Mobile Thrones, and we’ve been in the luxury restroom trailer business long enough to know what separates a smooth flush from a total flush failure. This guide will walk you through the key questions you need to ask before booking, so you get exactly what you want: comfort, cleanliness, and a little peace of mind.
Picking the right size trailer is kind of like picking the right shoes for your event... if you guess wrong, you’re in for a world of discomfort.
Here’s the lowdown:
Pro tip: Don’t just guess your size based on gut feeling (or how many drinks your guests plan to have). Tell us your guest count, event duration, and whether alcohol is flowing. We’ll crunch the numbers and make sure you don’t get stuck in a bathroom bottleneck.
This isn’t just a math problem — it’s an art. The number of restrooms depends on:
Here’s a quick checklist for estimating:
If you’re running a 200-person event that lasts several hours, two smaller trailers placed strategically might be better than one giant one.
Accessibility isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s the law (and the right thing to do). Make sure your restroom trailer has:
We even have a fancy ADA 6-stall trailer that’s roomy, elegant, and accessible. Because everyone deserves a throne fit for a king or queen.
Let’s get real — nobody wants to walk into a trailer that smells like last week’s gym socks. So ask:
At Mobile Thrones, we clean like your grandma is coming to visit.Every surface, every time. Because clean trailers = happy guests = event planning karma points.
You might think climate control is a luxury, but trust us, it’s a necessity. Imagine stepping into a trailer on a 90-degree day without A/C… yeah, no thanks.
Make sure your trailer has:
The goal: your guests should feel like they’re stepping into a clean, comfy bathroom - not a sauna or a freezer.
Running out of toilet paper or soap mid-event? That’s a party foul. Confirm your trailer comes stocked with:
Extras that show you really care:
For multi-day events, ask if restocking is part of the service - no one wants to discover an empty soap dispenser halfway through day two.
Not all trailers are created equal when it comes to power and water:
If your event is off the grid, a remote music festival or a construction site, knowing this is critical.
You’d be surprised how often people forget to think about whether a giant trailer can actually get to the spot you want it.
Ask yourself:
Mobile Thrones can scout your location or work with your planner to make sure the delivery goes smoothly.

Surprise fees are the worst, so get clear upfront on:
We keep it transparent. No shady “extra fees” lurking in the fine print.
Many companies ask for a deposit in case of damage or extra cleaning needs.
Ask:
Knowing this ahead of time saves headaches later.
Nobody plans for bathroom disasters, but they happen. What you want is:
At Mobile Thrones, we’re standing by to save the day if your event’s restroom hits a snag.
Events don’t always stick to the schedule. Ask about:
We get it — flexibility is the name of the game.
Beware providers who:
You deserve a rental company that’s honest, responsive, and experienced ...someone who treats your event like their own.
A great restroom trailer is the quiet MVP of your event. It might not get the spotlight, but everyone notices when it’s missing or subpar.
