The company specializing in mobile restroom trailers highlights the importance of winter-proofing and shares its essential trailer tips for cold weather.
(PRUnderground) February 4th, 2025
As temperatures drop and winter weather sets in, Portable Restroom Trailers is here to remind businesses, event planners, contractors, and more of the importance of properly winter-proofing and heating portable restroom and shower trailers. Without the necessary precautions, freezing temperatures can wreak havoc on the equipment, causing costly damage and operational disruptions.
Keep Portable Trailers Winter-Ready
Portable restroom and shower trailers are essential for outdoor events, work sites, and disaster relief, even during the coldest months. However, these units require careful preparation to handle freezing conditions. If left unprotected, trailers can face significant damage, including:
- Cracked plumbing
- Broken faucets
- Damaged toilet bowls
- Split holding tanks
- Broken waste clean-out systems
“Failing to properly winterize a portable trailer can lead to costly repairs that quickly add up,” said Teri Pahon, CEO of Portable Restroom Trailers. “From a $250 faucet fix to a holding tank replacement exceeding $8,500, these expenses are avoidable with the right preparation. Our goal is to help customers protect their investment and ensure their trailers remain operational during the harshest winter conditions.”
Portable Restroom Trailers’ Essential Winter-Proofing Steps
To keep a portable shower or mobile restroom trailer in top condition, follow the company’s tried and true guidelines:
- Keep Heaters Running 24/7: Trailer heaters must remain on at all times during freezing temperatures to prevent damage.
- Use Heated Water Hoses: Replace standard water hoses with heated, insulated hoses to keep the water supply flowing.
- Skirt the Trailer: In areas with temperatures consistently below 10°F, use hay bales or insulated panels to skirt the trailer and retain heat.
- Prepare the Maintenance Room: Ensure the maintenance room heater is on and the door is closed to prevent freezing.
- Turn Off Water When Not in Use: If the trailer is unattended, shut off the water supply while keeping the heat on.
- Storing a Trailer During Winter: Proper storage is also essential for trailers not in use to avoid damage. Drain all water lines, add non-toxic RV antifreeze to the system, and unplug the trailer after completing these steps.
Portable Restroom Trailers is committed to offering winter-ready solutions with a wide selection of units equipped for freezing weather, including three- and four-season models designed to withstand extreme temperatures. “We want our customers to be able to rely on their trailers year-round, regardless of the weather,” continued Pahon. “By following our proper winter-proofing steps, our clients can avoid costly repairs and provide uninterrupted service during the colder months.”
