Why choose The Lavatory

Trusted across Corona for on-site shower trailer rentals that keep crews on the job

We own more than 250 units. That is the largest luxury trailer fleet in the Western U.S., and your job never gets handed to a broker. Thirty years in event and equipment rental sits behind it, plus eight years staging shower units in this market. Now put the trailer next to what a Corona crew actually costs in a day: wages, lodging, trucks, fuel. It is the smallest number on that list, and it is the one people bring up at the end of the shift. We keep units ready for shower trailer rentals across California, licensed and insured, and a person answers the phone at two in the morning. Call us or get a free quote and we will size it with you.

The fleet is ours

More than 250 units, owned outright, the largest luxury trailer fleet in the Western U.S. When you ask if a unit is free for the 14th, you get a yes or a no, not a phone call to somebody else.

Locking rooms, not a shared space

Every shower is a private room with its own hot and cold controls and a door that locks. Smooth gel-coated fiberglass on the walls, ceiling and floor means it wipes clean instead of holding onto a job site.

Service is built into the job

Stocking and cleaning are part of what we do, set to a cadence that matches the deployment rather than a default weekly visit. On long Corona jobs we will put an attendant on site.

We route Corona deliveries around the circle and the canyon roads

The 8-Station runs 29 feet of box and 35 feet with the tongue, which does not belong on some of the historic cross streets inside the Grand Boulevard ring or on the switchbacks above Foothill Parkway. We look at the approach before we quote and bring the build that actually fits. The Lavatory in Riverside takes bookings for sites 11 miles from Corona.

★★★★★
“We ordered at nine at night and the unit was on the apron before the first rotation came off. Eight rooms moved 40 people in under two hours. That is the whole review.”
Renee P.project superintendent, Temescal Valley
★★★★★
“Six months on a graded pad and I never once had to chase the service truck. They set the pump schedule against my shift plan in the first week and then it just ran. My guys stopped complaining about the drive home in August, which for a framing crew is saying something.”
Tony V.location manager, film and TV
★★★★★
“Quiet placement, clean rooms, and the driver actually understood where camera was pointed. Rare.”
Real numbers

The mobile shower units that get booked again and again in Corona

The companies that could rent anything still call us, because a bad shower at a base camp or a film set becomes the story of the whole job. The Lavatory has provided trailers for names like Google, Tesla, BMW, Mercedes, eBay, and Target, for hospitality at Caesars Palace, and for pro sports including the Golden State Warriors, Oakland A’s, and Las Vegas Raiders.

The reason those bookings repeat is simple. A hot shower at the end of a long day is the one thing a crew remembers about the camp, so the trailer has to be stocked, heated and serviced every day of the job, not just the first one. That is how we run every unit in the fleet, and it is the same standard behind every Corona booking, from a two-week jobsite to a festival campground.

Three decades in event and equipment rental, running the largest luxury trailer fleet in the Western U.S. Every unit ours, never a broker’s.

Inside the trailer

Station support and base camp showers for Corona fire and EMS

In Corona the 8-Station usually goes to a fire assignment or a civil job, and a combo goes to a downtown lot where 35 feet of trailer will not turn. We pick by head count, access, and what the site can hand us for power and water.

Shower trailer set up on a northwest Riverside County site

Corona Fire staffs seven stations plus headquarters at 735 Public Safety Way, from Station 1 on Magnolia Avenue and Station 3 on South Smith to Station 5 on Canyon Crest, Station 6 on West Upper Drive and Station 7 on Bedford Canyon. South of the city line, county crews work out of CAL FIRE Riverside Unit Station 22 at 24530 Temescal Canyon Road. When a dorm shower goes offline for a remodel, or a strike team rotates in and the apron becomes a camp, our 8-station private shower trailer rentals cover the gap. Eight locking rooms. Hot and cold in each one. A multi-station, hot-water shower trailer, CAL FIRE approved, which is the first thing an agency asks us.

The reason this city buys hot water differently comes down to one number. Corona counts roughly 3,000 structures inside the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone and just over 14,000 more within half a mile of it. New building inside the Wildland Urban Interface Fire Area has to meet Chapter 7A of the California Building Code, a rule the city put teeth behind with Ordinance No. 3034 back in 2010. The fire department finished a Community Wildfire Protection Plan in 2021 and runs a resident and officer group called FireSafe Corona. The city sits at the base of the Cleveland National Forest. That is not a brochure line, it is an address. Sports complexes ask about showers for athletes on tournament days, so we wrote a post.

Room by room: what a shower unit gives you

Private rooms with a lockable door

Every shower is its own room with a door that locks, a bench and a hook, so a crew or a camp showers with real privacy instead of a curtain in a row.

Hot and cold water controls

A water heater and onboard tanks feed hot and cold controls in each room, with 1.5 GPM shower heads so the hot water lasts through a full shift of people.

Air conditioning and heat

Climate control in every trailer, so a shower in a July heat wave or a January storm response feels like the one at home.

One-piece gel-coated fiberglass

Walls, ceiling and floor are one molded fiberglass surface with no seams, which is why the rooms clean fast, stay clean and never smell like a locker room.

Runs with or without hookups

Fresh and waste tanks on board, a generator when the site has no power, and the option to tie into on-site septic on a long deployment.

Serviced, stocked and pumped

We deliver the trailer stocked and come back to pump, restock and clean on longer jobs, so day twelve looks like day one.

We have watched what that produces. The Green Fire started at 6:32 p.m. on July 25, 2025 at Palisades Drive and Green River Road, pulled five air tankers and three helicopters, and crews held a line that saved houses on Nutmeg Drive before containment on the 27th. Go back further and the pattern is uglier. The Freeway Complex Fire ignited at 9:01 a.m. on November 15, 2008 in the Santa Ana riverbed along the 91 here in town, then ran to 30,305 acres and 314 destroyed homes. The Blue Ridge Fire in October 2020 started near Green River Road by the golf course and burned 14,334 acres. In May 2026 the Bain Fire pushed 1,473 acres of river bottom smoke straight over the north side of the city. Our crew can plan power and water for both, including guest restrooms for Corona events.

We plan for the ugly version. Units go out before dawn when an incident orders them overnight. We bring a generator when Southern California Edison has a Public Safety Power Shutoff running, because the canyon circuits are the ones that go dark and the utility has said 2026 shutoffs may last longer and reach more customers. On assignments past a week we swap in the laundry combo, since turnout liners and base layers carry smoke home otherwise. We set the pump cadence with the incident, not after it.

Full specifications for every unit are on the 8-Station spec page and its four sister pages, or call and we will spec it to your Corona head count.

The full shower trailer fleet is one page over; below is how we size a unit to a California job.

Matching private shower trailers to crews, camps and productions in Corona

Five shower units cover everything from a single ADA-compliant room to a camp that showers two hundred people a day. Every one has hot water, private rooms and climate control. Tell us the head count, how long the job runs and what the site has for water and power, and we will size it.

8-Station Private Shower Trailer staged for northwest Riverside County jobs

8-Station Private Shower Trailer

Eight completely private shower rooms in a 29-foot box, built for crews, camps and relief sites of up to about 200 people a day. Hot and cold controls, 200-gallon fresh and 950-gallon waste tanks, an exterior four-sink hand wash bank under the roof line, and it can tie into on-site septic for long deployments. CAL FIRE approved for wildfire camp service, the spec incident teams ask for in every western state.

ADA + 2 Private Shower Trailer, delivered to sites from Corona to Riverside

ADA + 2 Private Shower Trailer

Two standard private shower rooms plus one ADA room with a self-contained ramp, built to federal and California ADA requirements. The right unit when a site needs accessibility without giving up capacity, with 210 gallons of fresh water on board.

4-Station Shower, Restroom and Laundry Combo for rent near Eastvale and Corona

4-Station Shower, Restroom and Laundry Combo

Four private bathrooms, each with a toilet, sink, shower and power outlet, plus a washer and dryer in a separate room. A self-contained hygiene block for a crew of up to about 30 on a remote or long-term job.

2-Station Shower and Restroom Combo available for fire and EMS around Corona

2-Station Shower and Restroom Combo

Two private bathrooms with a toilet, sink and shower each, in a compact 11-foot box. The pick for a small crew, a ranch job or a production base that needs both functions in one footprint.

Single-Station ADA Shower and Restroom Combo staged for northwest Riverside County jobs

Single-Station ADA Shower and Restroom Combo

One fully accessible room: ADA china toilet with grab bars, roll-in shower with a seat and hand wand, ADA-height sink and vanity, and a ramp that deploys in minutes. It pairs with any other unit so every person on site is covered.

Bigger jobs run several trailers side by side, and long deployments get a service schedule instead of a one-time drop. If you are between sizes, we spec it to the head count rather than nudge you into more trailer than the job calls for.

We serve crews, camps and productions with shower trailer rentals throughout California, sized to the head count.

Fair warning

Our shower trailers, and the kinds of sites we set them up on. Base camps, jobsites, race weekends, productions and the relief sites where the trailer has to run for weeks.

Plainly put

What one shift without a self-contained shower unit costs remote jobsites in Corona

Side view of the 4-Station Shower, Restroom and Laundry Combo trailer, bookable for Corona jobs

Think about what a Corona deployment actually costs to run. Wages, lodging, fuel, the schedule pressure, the people you are asking to work long days away from home. Then picture the end of that shift with nowhere to get clean. A shower is the one thing every person on site uses, and it is the detail they quietly judge the whole camp by.

A private shower trailer protects everything else you are spending. Crews sleep better and stay on the job, a production keeps cast and crew comfortable through a long schedule, and a relief site gives people back a piece of normal. Set against the cost of the deployment, it is a small line item that carries a lot of the morale, which is why the managers who have run a camp without one book the trailer first the next time.

Crew shower trailer rentals for Corona construction and industrial sites

Shower trailer on a film and TV job, northwest Riverside County

The biggest job in town is on the river. The Army Corps of Engineers put the Prado Dam spillway modification under contract with Barnard Construction, and the work is expected to run about six years from a start in spring 2026. Crews are replacing a 15 foot linear ogee weir with a labyrinth spillway standing over 35 feet, rebuilding approach walls, chute walls, slabs and underdrains, setting rock anchors, and raising the embankment connections by 20 feet. There is no building to walk into out there. Flood control land, a working river bottom, and a workforce that shows up filthy. We have sized more than one setup exactly like that.

Roadwork keeps pace with it. RCTC is pushing the I-15 Express Lanes 15.8 miles south from El Cerrito Road through Temescal Valley to State Route 74, widening up to 15 bridges, with SC Constructors on the progressive design-build contract approved in May 2026 and construction possible in late 2027. The city is lifting McKinley Street over the BNSF tracks and the Arlington Channel between the 91 and Magnolia Avenue. Crews are grinding through roughly 167 lane miles of pavement rehabilitation, with Cajalco Road queued for August 2026. County work along Temescal Canyon Road from Dawson Canyon to Dos Lagos Drive has meant slope grading, storm drains and retaining walls.

Private industry here is heavy and hands-on. All American Asphalt employs roughly 840 people out of Corona. TWR Framing runs about 750. Fender builds American series and Custom Shop guitars at 311 Cessna Circle, and Monster Beverage keeps its headquarters in town. Down in Temescal Valley the Temescal Valley Commerce Center is seven light industrial buildings totaling 637,718 square feet on about 33.73 acres. Add the heat. Cal/OSHA Title 8 section 3395 puts shade on site at 80 degrees, high heat procedures at 95, and a quart of cool drinking water per person per hour, and Corona sits above 85 degrees most days from June 27 to September 26.

What that means at 3 p.m. on a grading pad is simple. A crew that can rinse off under hot-water showers before the drive home stays through August. That is the whole case for portable shower units on a summer job. We level on decomposed granite instead of guessing, run the 50 amp 220 volt feed off temporary power when the site has it and a generator when it does not, pull construction water through the city utility inside city limits, and set a pump schedule sized to 950 gallons of waste rather than waiting for a superintendent to call it in.

Other jobs we stage showers for in Corona

Three kinds of calls fill most of our week here. A station apron off McKinley, where a mobile shower unit parks for a week. A graded pad along Temescal Canyon Road. A production base camp in a dirt lot with nothing on it but a generator. Same hot water, three completely different setups.

Disaster and relief sites

Flood response in the Prado Basin, wind events, and evacuation points all need hygiene before anything else gets organized. We run emergency dispatch around the clock and can be rolling while the call is still open.

Utility and pipeline crews

Line crews working canyon circuits and the city reclaimed water system, which runs about 41 miles of pipeline on three pump stations, often finish a shift nowhere near a yard. A self-contained shower unit at the staging point fixes that.

Agency and military field operations

We are SAM.gov registered, licensed and insured, and our paperwork moves at the speed agency contracting needs. Accessible rooms and ADA ramps are available on the same order.

Sports camps and tournament weekends

Corona-Norco Unified enrolls more than 48,000 students across 53 schools, and weekend fields at Santana Regional Park and El Cerrito Sports Park fill up fast. Team and staff showers keep a long day from turning into a short one.

Shower access for outreach teams

Street outreach in Corona coordinates with the police department liaison under the city homelessness plan, and regional programs already run scheduled shower days. We supply the units and service them on your calendar.

Festival build and vendor crews

Setup and strike teams at the Civic Center lawn and along Main Street work before the public shows up and after it leaves. A deluxe private unit behind the vendor row handles them without touching the event footprint.

What ties these together is that a hot shower changes how a long day ends. Because our units sit staged across the region instead of a couple of states away, getting a shower trailer to a Corona site, even on a short-notice call, is an ordinary ask here, not a scramble.

The working details

What happens after mobile shower units land on a Corona site

The ADA + 2 Private Shower Trailer, two standard rooms plus one ADA room, available for rent in Corona

We handle the whole thing, not just the drop-off. Our team delivers the trailer, levels and sets it, connects water and power or stages a generator and a water supply, fires the heater and stocks every room before the first person needs it. When the job wraps, we come back and haul it away.

On longer or higher-traffic bookings in Corona, we pump and restock on a schedule, and an on-site attendant is available for camps and productions where the trailer runs all day. That always-clean standard is the difference between a shower people use once and one they are glad to use every night of the job.

From the yard

Placement, permits and ADA for private shower trailers in Corona

Start with the one that decides everything. Riverside County Ordinance 650 makes it a violation to let septic effluent or greywater from sinks, showers or laundry discharge onto the ground anywhere in the county. Every unit on every Corona job is a closed loop. Water in, waste to the tank, tank to a licensed hauler. The 8-Station holds 950 gallons of waste and the combos hold 300, and those two numbers set how often a truck has to come.

Hauling is permitted work, not a favor. A liquid waste hauler needs a permit to dispose at the Riverside Water Quality Control Plant, renewed every year, with a current business license, a completed application and a swipe card issued by the Environmental Compliance Section to even operate the dump station. Insurance limits run to seven figures per occurrence on general liability, with more in the aggregate, plus auto coverage. The county Department of Environmental Health liquid waste office sits at 4080 Lemon Street on the 10th floor in Riverside and can be reached at 951-955-8980.

Then the crew side. Cal/OSHA Title 8 section 3395 requires shade on an outdoor site once the temperature passes 80 degrees, puts high heat procedures in place at 95, sets drinking water at a quart per person per hour for the whole shift, and asks supervisors to watch new hires closely for their first 14 days. Smart contractors out here treat washing the same way they treat shade: plan it, do not improvise it. Accessibility is its own requirement, and our ADA accessible shower trailer rentals meet both federal and California ADA with a self-contained ramp, so a public works or school district job clears that box on the same order. Inside city limits the temporary water and the power both come from the City of Corona utility, which keeps the approvals in one building instead of three.

The Single-Station ADA Shower and Restroom Combo, with a ramp entry from our own fleet, rented to Corona customers

The ADA and site access details we take care of

  • ADA-compliant shower units with a ramp, roll-in shower, seat, hand wand, grab bars and an ADA-height sink.
  • Guidance on where to place the trailer so it is easy to reach, easy to service and level.
  • Water and power sorted before delivery, with a generator and a water supply staged when the site has neither.
  • Licensed and insured on every unit we put on the road.

One thing we always say plainly: some sites, agencies and city permits have their own rules on placement, accessibility, greywater and temporary hygiene facilities. Tell us the site and we will help you plan around them, but confirm any permit requirements with the property or the agency as well.

Our take

Booking a shower trailer for Corona in four steps

Booking should be the easy part of running a site. Four steps, a straight answer, and one team that owns the whole thing.

1

Tell us about the site

Share the dates, a rough head count and where the trailer will sit. That is enough for us to point you to the right unit and count.

2

We match the trailer and the hookups

We confirm whether the site has water and power or needs a generator and a supply, and pin the exact spot so delivery is one clean trip.

3

Delivery and setup

We arrive on your schedule, level and set the trailer, connect it, heat the water and stock every room so it is ready before the first shift ends.

4

Use it, we handle service and pickup

The trailer holds up through the whole deployment while our line stays open. When you are done, we come back and take it away.

Film and TV base camps around Corona, with real showers on site

The 8-Station Private Shower Trailer, our highest-capacity unit from our own fleet, rented to Corona customers

Base camp is everything parked away from the shot. Cast trailers, hair and makeup, wardrobe, the production office, catering and the restroom wagons. Federal rules set a floor of one toilet per 20 workers, but IATSE, SAG-AFTRA and DGA expectations run higher: climate controlled, running water, mirrors, lighting that someone can actually work under. Showers enter the picture the moment a day involves water, dust, mud, stunts, prosthetics or a night shoot that hands off into morning. Wrap a wet gag at 4 a.m. and the difference between a good crew and a bitter one is eight locking rooms with hot water.

Permitting in town is quick if you plan it. Corona Municipal Code Chapter 17.97 covers film permits and the packet goes to 400 South Vicentia Avenue with a location map, a full prop list, and a description of every activity including stunts, pyrotechnics, weapons and aircraft. Minimum two days ahead. Four days if you have effects, stunts or traffic interference. Ten if you are closing a road. Inland Empire Film Services processes Corona permits, and the Riverside County Film Commission at 951-955-2044 handles locations and crew across every jurisdiction in the county.

There is more to shoot here than people expect, and more money chasing it. California more than doubled its film and television tax credit, with a 35 percent base rate and bonuses that stack toward 45, and the first year of that expansion awarded 147 productions and logged 5,928 filming days statewide. Location departments come out for the Grand Boulevard circle, a true three mile ring around downtown. For Corona Municipal Airport, one 3,200 foot runway sitting inside the Prado Basin with 300 plus general aviation aircraft on it. For Glen Ivy Hot Springs on its 14 acres in Temescal Valley, for Tom’s Farms on Temescal Canyon Road, and for the chaparral ridgelines off Skyline Drive.

Placement is where we earn it on a set. The 11 foot 2-Station Combo fits a narrow shoulder where a 35 foot box would block the picture car. Generators go far enough out that sound does not fight them. On a two week schedule the laundry combo saves a runner three trips a day. Tell us the crew count, the call times and whether you are holding over, and we will stage it so nobody walks past camera to get clean.

Ask us anything

What planning private shower trailers looks like for typical Corona work

Side view of the 2-Station Shower and Restroom Combo, a compact crew unit, bookable for Corona jobs

Battalion chief, canyon edge above Foothill Parkway

Red flag week, strike teams rotating through a staging area with nothing on it but graded dirt and a water tender. He needed throughput for 40 people between 0500 and 0700. We set the eight room unit on a generator, ran the feed off the tender, and had the first crew rinsing at 0455. He kept it nine days and added the laundry combo on day four.

Project superintendent, river bottom civil job

Tuesday call, mid morning, three weeks before a concrete placement ramped his headcount up by half. The problem was not the showers, it was the 950 gallons of waste and a hauler schedule nobody had set. We mapped the pump cadence against his shift plan, added a second unit before the ramp instead of after, and he never lost a crew hour to it.

Location manager, two week shoot in Temescal Valley

She had a narrow shoulder. A sound mixer did not want a generator anywhere near him. A wet gag was scheduled for the second Thursday night. We put the 11 foot combo on the shoulder, ran the generator 120 feet out behind a berm, and staged a second unit at base camp for the night crew. The gag wrapped at 3:40 a.m. and everybody was clean before the drive.

Shower trailer delivery across Corona neighborhoods and the canyon edge

The northwest Riverside County corridors we cover with shower trailers

We cover the whole city and the ring of communities around it, from the 91 corridor and the Grand Boulevard circle out to Temescal Valley, and over the line into Norco, Eastvale, Riverside and Lake Elsinore. Our service area reaches every state, but this page is a local hub with units staged nearby, which is how a same-day call gets answered with a truck instead of a timeline.

We cover Corona shower trailer rentals across California. Towns and job corridors we serve include Downtown Corona, North Main, Central Corona, South Corona, Sierra Del Oro, Coronita, Home Gardens, El Cerrito, Eagle Glen, Mountain Gate, Dos Lagos, Temescal Valley, Green River, Trilogy at Glen Ivy, Horsethief Canyon, Bedford Canyon, Norco, Eastvale, Jurupa Valley, Riverside, Lake Elsinore, Chino Hills, Yorba Linda, Anaheim Hills.

Jobs outside town are covered too; the California shower trailer coverage map shows every corridor.

Sierra Del Oro

The city’s west end sits in the throat of the Santa Ana Canyon, which is why it feels the wind first. Emergency hygiene is the real need out here, and we keep units reachable for Green River Road and the Palisades Drive side at any hour.

South Corona and Eagle Glen

Eagle Glen and Mountain Gate back right onto the foothills, with Eagle Glen Park and its golf club as the center of the area. Work here is canyon edge fuel reduction, home hardening and school fields, so deliveries come off Foothill Parkway with a generator on the truck.

Temescal Valley

Long jobs, graded pads, and county rather than city jurisdiction along Temescal Canyon Road. Between the commerce center buildout and the I-15 express lanes alignment, this is where our multi-week deployments sit.

Downtown Corona

Tight historic streets inside the Grand Boulevard ring, with the Civic Center lawn hosting the Summer Street Fair on Thursday nights in July. Build and strike crews get the small combo because nothing bigger turns in there.

El Cerrito

Semi-rural lots, equestrian property and El Cerrito Sports Park, plus El Cerrito Road as the north end of the express lanes extension. Supply gets confirmed before the truck rolls since water and sewer authority changes from the city side.

North Corona and Home Gardens

Industrial blocks, the McKinley corridor and about 12,000 residents in Home Gardens. Warehouse builds and outreach programs both run here, and most of these addresses already have power we can use.

Planned rentals are usually scheduled the same week, and we do our best to cover last-minute Corona dates when a trailer is nearby.

Reviews from the crews, agencies and productions we serve

Angela M.safety manager, industrial site off the 91
★★★★★
“Our heat plan had shade and water covered and nothing for washing up. Adding showers changed the tone of the whole crew by the second week. Cleaning and restocking were handled without me asking.”
Priya S.emergency services coordinator, Riverside County
★★★★★
“We needed accessible and they had it on the same order, ramp included. Paperwork went through without a single callback, which never happens. The unit stayed out eleven days.”
Luis R.grading contractor, Temescal Canyon Road
★★★★★
“They looked at my pad before they quoted and told me straight that I needed to level a corner first. Saved me a mess.”
Brianna T.production coordinator, Temescal Valley shoot
★★★★★
“Night work, wet gag, forty crew. The laundry combo meant wardrobe was not driving wet stuff back to the valley at two in the morning. Genuinely the best money we spent on that schedule.”
Megan L.outreach program lead, Corona
★★★★★
“We run hygiene days twice a month and the unit shows up the same way every time, stocked and clean. The private rooms matter more than people realize for the folks we serve. Service has never slipped.”
Sam O.utility line supervisor, Sierra Del Oro
★★★★★
“Power was off for a shutoff day and the trailer still had hot water because they brought a generator without me asking for one.”
Across the board

What relief sites ask about private shower trailers in Corona

Exterior of the Single-Station ADA Shower and Restroom Combo trailer, a unit we deliver to Corona sites
What happens to the hot water when twenty people shower back to back?

Nothing, if the unit is sized and fed right. Our heads are metered at 1.5 gallons a minute, which keeps the draw low enough that recovery stays ahead of the line, and every room has its own hot and cold controls so nobody is fighting a shared mixer. The limit is almost never the heater, it is the supply. On a hookup or a delivered feed the 8-Station will run about 200 people across a day without a cold surprise at the end.

When do I need a water hookup in Corona, and when can the trailer run on its own tank?

The onboard tank carries 200 gallons on the 8-Station, and a 12 minute shower at 1.5 gallons a minute is about 18 gallons. The tank alone covers roughly eleven showers before it needs help. Inside city limits we usually pull a temporary supply through the City of Corona utility, which keeps water and power approvals in one place. Out on a Temescal Valley pad or a canyon staging area we bring a delivered feed instead and top it on a schedule.

How often do you clean and restock a unit on a job that runs for months?

We set the cadence to the deployment, not to a default weekly visit. A three shift warehouse build usually gets daily service. A fire assignment gets service between rotations, which sometimes means nights. On long jobs like the multi-year civil work on the river we will put an attendant on site so the rooms stay right through the whole shift instead of looking good at 7 a.m. and rough by 3 p.m. Stocking is included, not billed as an extra visit.

Do your units meet CAL FIRE and county agency requirements?

Our 8-Station Private Shower Trailer is CAL FIRE approved, which matters here because Riverside County Fire works under a cooperative agreement with the CAL FIRE Riverside Unit across 100 stations and 15 battalions. We are also SAM.gov registered, licensed and insured, and part of an A plus BBB rated network with a 99.9 percent incident-free record. For accessibility we bring units that meet both federal and California ADA with a self-contained ramp. Send us the solicitation or the incident order and we will match the paperwork to it.

Will a standard outlet run your crew shower trailer, or do I need a generator?

It depends which build shows up. The 8-Station wants one 50 amp 220 volt circuit. The ADA + 2 and the combo units run on two 120 volt 20 amp circuits, which a lot of Corona sites can already hand us off temporary power. If the site has nothing, or if Southern California Edison has a Public Safety Power Shutoff running on the canyon circuits, we bring a generator and place it far enough out that the noise is not a problem.

Can you tell me what actually changes a private shower trailer quote?

Seven things, mostly. Station count, how long the unit sits, where the water comes from, how much waste you generate and therefore how often a truck pumps it, whether power exists on site, how hard the access is, and whether you need an attendant. An accessible room or a laundry room changes the build, and a same-day emergency call is a different job than a booking made in May for July. We will walk all of it with you on the phone instead of sending a number with no explanation.

Is greywater allowed to drain on the ground in Riverside County, and where does our waste go?

It is not allowed. Riverside County Ordinance 650 makes it a violation to discharge greywater from sinks, showers or laundry onto the ground surface anywhere in the county, so the unit runs as a closed loop every single day. The 8-Station holds 950 gallons of waste and the combos hold 300. A licensed hauler pumps it and takes it to a permitted disposal point, and that hauler needs an annual permit and a swipe card from the Environmental Compliance Section to use the dump station at all.

Where does the trailer need to sit on a Corona site, and how level does the pad have to be?

Reasonably flat and firm, with room to get a truck in and back out without a three point turn on a live road. The 8-Station is a 29 foot box and 35 feet with the tongue, so the historic cross streets inside the Grand Boulevard ring and the switchbacks above Foothill Parkway rule it out on some jobs. We level on decomposed granite and graded dirt all the time, and after a February storm we check the ground before we commit a loaded trailer to it. Leave the service side clear so the pump truck is not blocked.

Do you have an option for a tight downtown lot near the Grand Boulevard circle?

Yes. The 2-Station Shower and Restroom Combo is an 11 foot box with two private bathrooms, each holding a toilet, sink and shower, and it fits behind a vendor row or on a narrow shoulder where nothing longer would work. It needs two 120 volt 20 amp circuits and holds 105 gallons fresh and 300 waste. For build and strike crews at the Civic Center lawn during the Summer Street Fair it is usually the right call.

What do productions around Corona usually order for a sixty person crew?

Most commonly the 8-Station at base camp plus a small combo closer to the work. That gives the crew eight locking rooms with hot and cold controls and keeps a short walk available for people who cannot leave a setup. On shoots longer than about ten days the 4-Station laundry combo earns its spot fast, because wardrobe stops driving wet material off location at two in the morning. Tell us call times and whether you expect to hold over and we will stage for the worst night, not the average one.

Are showers and restrooms available in the same trailer?

Three of our five mobile shower builds combine them. The 2-Station and the Single-Station ADA units put a toilet, sink and shower in one private bathroom, and the 4-Station does the same across four bathrooms and adds a washer and dryer in their own room. The 8-Station is a multi-station mobile shower unit with showers only, and the exterior four-sink hand wash bank sits on the outside of that unit. Which way you go depends on whether you need throughput or a self-contained bathroom per person.

How to size shower stations for a Corona crew, shift by shift

Head count is the first number people give us and the least useful one on its own. Forty people is an easy job if they trickle through across nine hours. The same forty is a hard job if they all come off a rotation at the same minute. The real question is how wide the window is, and almost nobody has thought about it before the call.

Here is the arithmetic we use. Our heads run metered at 1.5 gallons a minute. A normal work shower lands around 12 minutes, which is about 18 gallons of water and, more importantly, about 12 minutes of room occupancy. Eight rooms in a 90 minute window gives you roughly 40 turns with a little slack for the person who takes too long. Push that same crew through two rooms and you are looking at three hours and a line, and the people at the back will skip it.

What to ask before you rent a shower trailer in Riverside County

Most quotes look the same on paper. Same number of stations, same delivery line, same weekly service note. The difference shows up on day nine, and by then you are stuck with it. These are the questions that separate the companies.

Ask who owns the unit. A lot of the market brokers equipment, which means the person selling you the trailer is calling somebody else to find one. When the unit breaks, or the dates move, or a second unit is suddenly needed, you are two phone calls away from anyone who can act. We own more than 250 units outright, so the answer to a date question is yes or no on the spot.

Site prep and access: getting a shower trailer onto a Corona lot

The spec that decides most Corona deliveries is length. Our 8-Station is a 29 foot box and 35 feet hitched. That number is fine on a warehouse pad off the 91 and a real problem on a historic cross street, and the difference between a smooth delivery and a wasted morning is usually a five minute look at the approach.

Downtown is the tightest part of town. The Grand Boulevard circle is a true three mile ring with about a mile across the middle, laid out in the 1880s and paved for road races in 1914, which means the streets inside it were never drawn for a 35 foot trailer and a tractor. During the Summer Street Fair on Thursday nights in July, the Civic Center lawn and the surrounding blocks carry vendor rows on top of that. Build and strike crews here get the 11 foot combo and a placement we walk in advance.

What changes the cost of a shower trailer rental in Corona

We will not put numbers on a web page, because a real quote depends on your site and anyone who pretends otherwise is guessing. You deserve to know what moves the figure, so you can shape the job instead of reacting to it. Here is the honest list.

Station count and build come first. Eight locking rooms in a 29 foot box is a different piece of equipment than a deluxe 11 foot combo with two bathrooms, and the 4-Station with a washer and dryer in its own room is different again. More rooms is not automatically the answer. Matching rooms to your shift window usually costs less than oversizing to feel safe.
