A restroom trailer is a towable enclosed building with flushing toilets, sinks with running water, mirrors, lighting, climate control and often separate men's and women's sides, used for weddings, corporate events, film sets and long-term office sites. It needs level ground, electrical power and either a water hookup or an onboard fresh water tank.
Level ground is the flat, firm surface a portable toilet must sit on so the door swings correctly, the unit does not rock or tip, and the tank contents stay away from the door. Operators place units on shims or plywood when the ground is uneven.
