WHAT IS NEEDED
Spivey Services will deliver the Restroom trailer. The delivery site for the restroom trailer should be reasonably level, dry and well drained. If the rental is long-term, choose a site with enough space for a pumper truck to park close to the trailer for service.
Electricity powers the restroom trailers. We recommend providing each restroom trailer with at least two independent, dedicated 20-amp power power circuits. A winter package with electrical heaters requires additional power. A dedicated circuit means there are no other power draws on that circuit. Generally, supplying power cables to the trailer is the site owner’s responsibility. Ensure no other equipment or devices draws electricity from the circuits or lines connected to the trailer.
Most electrical problems in the restroom trailers occur due to insufficient power supply. For example, an air conditioner might start but trip the breaker shortly after, as it requires adequate power to operate properly. Ensure each power cord is an appropriate size (gauge) for the distance it runs and the 20-amp load it carries. Lightweight cords can experience significant power loss over long distances. We recommend using a generator if the power source is more than 150 ft from the restroom trailer.
Every restroom trailer requires a garden hose with a minimum water pressure of 40 psi and a flow rate of 5 gallons per minute. The trailer is equipped with a city water connection located beneath the mechanical room.A standard ¾” garden hose supplies pressurized fresh water for the toilets and sinks.
We have several trailers with on-board freshwater tanks. Check the floor-plans to verify the location of the (OR) which ones have a water tank it’s usually located in the mechanical room between rooms. The water pump must be turned on in order to draw the water from the tank. Additionally, when the restroom trailer has an on-board freshwater tank, the water needed for toilet flushing or hand washing draws from this tank.
A large waste tank is built into the frame structure of the restroom trailer. All toilets and sinks are positioned directly above the waste tank and drain straight down into it. A 3” dump valve is installed on the towing end of the trailer to allow a pumper truck to remove waste from the restroom trailer.
The standard toilet is a low-flush model that uses a foot pedal to allow water into the bowl and open the ball valve at the bottom of the bowl to release waste into the waste tank.
Helpful hint:
When using the toilet to deposit solids, first press the foot pedal halfway to allow water into the bowl. After use, press the pedal fully to release waste into the tank.
The sinks installed in the trailer come standard with water-conserving faucets, which are operated either by pressing down the top valve or via a hands-free sensor. The valve is set to shut off after approximately 10-20 seconds.
The restroom trailer comes equipped with a roof-mounted AC unit that ducts cool air to each separate room. The unit operates on 110v power and is controlled by a wall-mounted thermostat.
Most issues with the restroom trailers arise from insufficient power to operate them properly. Start by confirming that you have the necessary utilities in place before setting up and operating the trailer.
