Comforts of Home creates original portable restroom trailers. Our luxurious portable bathrooms appear where a clean, comfortable restroom is desired and fixed plumbing isn’t available.
You can often find our units as distinctive solutions for diverse applications outdoors:
- outdoor weddings & festivals
- parks & campgrounds
- TV & movie sets
- construction sites
- corporate events
- disaster relief or emergency response
Portable Restroom Trailers: Mobile Comfort & Luxury
A Comforts of Home portable restroom trailer offers far more amenities, comfort and space than standard porta-potties do. It is a self-contained bathroom that looks and functions as if it were moved from an upscale residence.
With you as the end user firmly in mind, we build your specific unit from the ground up instead of as a universal stock template. This gives us complete quality control as well as greater flexibility with the build materials.
Your trailer-solutions advisor will engage your bathroom trailer’s custom build according to the context you specify. For example, your intended use might be for one of the following.
- Comfort restroom trailer. These mobile bathroom trailers offer many comforts of home but don’t require ultra-luxury features. A comfort restroom trailer might have private stalls with flushing toilets, handwashing sinks with hot & cold water, interior lighting and standard HVAC. Common uses might be for modest weddings, mid-sized public gatherings or constructions sites where personnel prefer more than basic portable toilets.
- Luxury/VIP restroom trailers. Beyond private stalls and rooms, lavishly appointed portable bathrooms can include high-end finishes (e.g. marble, granite), elegant fixtures, full-length mirrors, premium flooring, ambient lighting, decorative vanities, high-tech sound systems and state-of-the-art climate control. They can be common at sites such as high-profile weddings, festivals, corporate events and movie productions.
- ADA-compliant restroom trailers. Designed and built for users with disabilities, custom bathroom trailers can feature ramps, wider doors, grab bars and turn space for wheelchairs. ADA-compliant portable bathrooms are commonly deployed at public events or activities that require them.
- Construction/job-site restroom trailers. Each custom unit is built to endure regular use in rugged conditions. Serving crews year-round, these restroom trailers might contain from two to 20 stalls as well as be fully climate-controlled and have robust freshwater and wastewater tanks. Because of the conditions they operate in, some might emphasize simplicity, reliability and ease of maintenance over certain luxury amenities.
In some cases, an application might also call for deployment of luxury custom combo trailers, which include both restroom and shower facilities.
Portable Restroom Trailers: Core Components
At Comforts of Home, we design and build each portable bathroom ourselves to ensure optimal service, efficiency and cost-containment for your objective.
That includes using only materials we know from experience will provide the durability to withstand the elements, especially water. A Comforts of Home bathroom trailer helps protect your investment by hindering premature damage and wear.
We also rigorously test and inspect new features and materials for enhancing our units and look to include U.S. components whenever we can.
For your portable restroom trailer, the following are several common aspects with supporting examples you might discuss with your COHSI trailer-solutions adviser.
Structure & Design durability, mobility, long-term value
- Chassis & frame: heavy-duty steel, corrosion-resistant coating, reinforced floor
- Walls & roof: insulation to keep interior temperature stable and reduce condensation or odors
- Non-slip flooring: vinyl or rubberized floor that resists water and is easy to clean
- Trailer exterior material: aluminum skin for weather resistance
- Skirting/Access panels: covers to hide tanks or wheels for a clean, professional appearance
Plumbing & Water crucial reliability
- Flush toilets: porcelain or stainless steel for desired luxury
- Freshwater tank: onboard storage (often 100–500 gallons) if no direct water hookup
- Waste-holding tank: often 350–1,350 gallons depending on usage requirements
- Water pump & pressure system: consistent water pressure for flushing and sinks
- Hot water heater: tank or tankless heating
Electric & Power energy for lighting, plumbing, climate control
- Power source: shore power (30–50 amp) or generator-compatible
- LED interior/exterior lighting: efficient, bright and durable
- Battery backup: reinforcement for essential systems during brief power loss
- GFCI outlets: the standard for safety in wet environments
Climate Control comfort for year-round usage
- AC & heating: roof-mounted HVAC or ducted unit
- Ventilation fans: air freshness and odor reduction
- Insulated windows & doors: energy efficiency and soundproofing
Interior Design & User Comfort features for an even greater guest experience
- Private stalls or suites: increased privacy and hygiene
- Sink & countertop materials: stainless steel, solid surface, faux granite
- Lighting & mirrors: enhanced grooming and comfort
- Touchless fixtures: faucets, soap dispensers, paper-towel dispensers
- Decorative finishes: wall panels, trim, flooring options
Portable Restroom Trailers: Design Considerations
In addition to the core components for your custom restroom trailer, you and your trailer-solutions adviser can discuss important design factors for striking the right balance of functionality, comfort, safety, health, mobility and serviceability.
Examples of design considerations might include:
Structural & Chassis
- Axle rating & suspension: handling the trailer’s full weight including water and waste tanks (can exceed 10,000 lbs.)
- Towing & balance: distributing weight for stable towing, also factoring tongue weight and axle placement
- Weatherproofing: sealing all joints, corners and openings against rain and dust infiltration
Layout & Space
- Traffic flow: ensuring clear entry/exit paths; including doors that open outward for safety
- Mechanical/service room: allocating space for tanks, heater, pump and electrical panels (often in the rear or under the floor)
- Ventilation: routing airflow from ceiling vents or powered fans to exhaust upward, not toward users
Water-System Design
- Tank-size ratio: making the waste tank 2-3X the freshwater capacity to prevent overflow
- Pump sizing: selecting pumps with proper PSI and flow for multiple simultaneous users
- Drain slopes: ensuring gravity-fed waste lines to prevent pooling or clogging
Other design considerations could be:
- dedicated circuits for different systems to prevent power overloads
- 6’5” minimum ceiling height for airflow comfort and code compliance in HVAC design
- light interior color scheme for greater visibility and perceived cleanliness
- external service hatches for tanks, pumps and valves
- quick-disconnect fittings for hoses and power cords
- custom exterior wrap or logo placement for agency or professional use
You have many possibilities for providing attractive, clean and efficient restroom facilities. Together, you and your trailer-solutions adviser can define the design that will offer noteworthy convenience and comfort for users and guests.
