Quick Answer (NJ): Which restroom trailer do I need?
Most NJ events choose a trailer based on peak guest count, event duration, and whether ADA access is required. As a starting point: 2–3 stations for smaller/private events, 4–5 stations for many weddings & corporate gatherings, and 8–10 stations for festivals or high-traffic venues. Your final plan depends on site power/water, layout, and service access.
1) Start with your event or site type
- Weddings & private events: prioritize guest experience, décor, privacy, and easy access from the tent/venue.
- Corporate & VIP: look for upscale interiors, climate control, and efficient flow for high-volume breaks.
- Festivals & large crowds: prioritize capacity, fast lines, and a layout that supports service access.
- Construction offices & long-term sites: prioritize durability, consistent weekly service, and predictable site logistics.
- Film & production: plan base-camp placement, talent/VIP separation, and quick repositioning if needed.
If you’re not sure what category you’re in, tell us the location, duration, and expected peak use — we’ll recommend a setup that keeps lines down and guests comfortable.
2) Estimate guest or user count (peak window matters)
- Use the Unit Calculator → for a fast starting point.
- Include staff, vendors, and crew — not just attendees.
- Plan for the busiest time window (arrivals, intermission, after speeches), not the daily average.
3) Understand trailer sizes & common use cases
Need premium + backup coverage? Many successful events pair a restroom trailer with standard units and handwash stations to keep flow moving.
4) Accessibility & ADA considerations
- Confirm whether your venue/event requires an ADA-compliant trailer or an ADA-accessible restroom option.
- Plan an accessible route from parking/seating/tent areas to the restroom.
- Allow space for ramps, landings, and maneuvering at entry points.

5) Power, water & site requirements
Restroom trailers perform best when the site is planned like a “temporary restroom build.” For the full checklist, read: Trailer Power, Water & Generator Requirements Guide →
- Power: plan dedicated circuits or a generator solution for remote sites.
- Water: on-site hose water is ideal; alternate options exist when needed.
- Access: confirm a clear truck route and a level setup area.
6) Match trailers to common NJ scenarios
- Backyard or barn wedding: 4–5 station trailer + separate vendor/staff restroom plan.
- Corporate appreciation event: mid/large trailer + ADA option when required.
- Festival or fair: 8–10 station trailers in primary areas + standard units for overflow.
- Film production: VIP/talent separation + crew restrooms near catering/crafty.
