A restroom trailer typically has a built-in heating system. This is a standard feature because the plumbing and water tanks must be protected from freezing.
For a December holiday market with temperatures below freezing, the heating system is essential to keep the interior warm for guests and to prevent the fresh water supply and waste lines from freezing. The heating unit runs on electricity, so it is part of the overall power requirement for the trailer. When you rent a restroom trailer, confirm with the rental company that the heating system is operational and included.
The presence of a heater increases the total electrical load. A standard generator for a restroom trailer must be sized to handle the combined demand of the lights, flushing pumps, and the heating system. You will need to specify the expected outdoor temperatures so the rental company can provide a generator with sufficient capacity. A smaller generator may not power the heater and other functions simultaneously.
For your event with 150 people per day over three weekends, a single restroom trailer with multiple stalls is a suitable solution. The service frequency for a restroom trailer at a weekend event is typically once between the two days or after the event, but confirm the schedule with your provider. Ensure the placement is on level ground with clear truck access for delivery and pumping.
