Private rooms

The Lavatory: the San Fernando Valley authority on portable shower trailer rentals

Every room in our deluxe trailers is a space of its own, with a door that locks, a bench and a hook for the towel. Nobody waits in a line behind a curtain, and nobody changes in front of coworkers. After years of placing trailers at camps, studio lots and job yards, we have seen that people use a shower far more when the room feels private. That is the standard we hold for every Burbank delivery, so call now to talk through your site, or request a quote and we will match the trailer to your head count.

What sets our deluxe hot-water shower trailer rentals apart on a Burbank job

Fiberglass that wipes clean

Walls, ceiling and floor are gel-coated fiberglass with no seams to trap grime. A quick wipe-down between users keeps rooms looking new after weeks of heavy use.

Stocked and serviced on a schedule

Soap, paper goods and water are restocked on a set routine, and the waste tank is pumped before it fills. Your crew never has to ask.

Hookups or no hookups

Where a studio lot or yard has water, power and a sewer tie-in, the trailer uses them. Where it does not, the onboard tanks carry the job, and a septic tie-in handles long stays.

Sized to the head count

We ask how many people shower in a day, not just how many are on site, and match rooms to the answer. Too few rooms make a line, and too many waste money.

An outside sink bank on the 8-Station

The 8-Station Private Shower Trailer adds an exterior 4-sink hand wash bank, so people wash up before they step into a private room.

One team from quote to pickup

The people who take your call set up the delivery and arrange the pickup, which keeps details from getting lost between departments.

Sized for a tight Valley lot

Studio lots and street yards rarely have room to spare, so we measure the pad, the turn-in and the overhead lines before anything ships and the trailer fits on the first try.

Who we work with

Big names that have used our hot-water shower trailer rentals

Repeat business is the best proof we have, because a bad shower at a base camp or a film set becomes the story of the whole job. Google, Tesla, Target and the Golden State Warriors have used The Lavatory for sites and events, the same kind of work Burbank sends our way from studio lots and job yards.

Google

Hot showers for a large technology campus build-out

Large-scale deployment

Tesla

Target

Golden State Warriors

Private rooms for an arena event day

Event-day setup

Around Burbank we regularly work with film productions, street contractors and relief programs.

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 every unit in the fleet is run, and it is the same standard behind every Burbank booking, from a two-week jobsite to a festival campground.

Inside the trailer

Deluxe hot-water shower trailers sized from one accessible room to a full camp

In Burbank the question is usually footprint. Studio lots and street yards have little spare room, so we start with the combo units and move up only when the head count demands it.

Hot-water shower trailer staged outside Burbank

The lineup runs from a one-room accessible combo for a small crew up to an 8-station camp trailer, and you pick by head count and by what the site already has. A studio lot with shore power can run a larger trailer than a hillside lot with nothing but a gravel pad.

The 8-Station Private Shower Trailer has 8 private rooms in a 29 ft box, or 35 ft with the tongue. It serves about 200 people a day, draws on one 50 amp 220 volt circuit, and carries 200 gallons of fresh water and 950 gallons of waste. The exterior 4-sink hand wash bank is on this unit only.

For smaller or mixed jobs, the ADA + 2 Private Shower Trailer pairs two standard rooms with one accessible room and a self-contained ramp. The 4-Station Shower, Restroom and Laundry Combo gives each bathroom its own toilet, sink and shower, with a washer and dryer in a separate room.

What you find inside the private room

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.

Pick a size

Picking the right hot-water shower trailers for a greater Burbank site

The lineup runs from a one-room accessible shower and restroom combo for a small crew to an 8-station trailer that showers about two hundred people a day. Tell us the head count, how long the job runs and what the site has for water and power, and we will size it.

Local requirements

Film permits, gray water and accessible access for shower trailers around Burbank

Filming in Burbank needs a permit through Film Burbank, and the fire department usually assigns a film safety officer. Permits can come back in a few days, or a little longer when the public right of way is involved. The production handles the paperwork, and we need the footprint, the power plan and the water plan.

Shower water is gray water, and it never goes into a storm drain. It is hauled away or tied into a sanitary sewer connection when the site has one. For a sewer tie-in, check with Burbank public works or Burbank Water and Power. The Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board is the regional regulator for discharge.

Wildfire season brings red flag days and closures to the hills, so crews staging near the Verdugo foothills should expect road closures and plan the trailer location around them. On public works jobs, accessible facilities and prevailing wage rules come up often, so ask the project manager before you order.

Private shower trailer set up near Pasadena for projects

Accessibility and siting in Burbank, handled

  • 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.

Service visits

Set, serviced and picked up: on-site shower trailers

Shower trailer serviced mid-deployment outside Burbank

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 Burbank, 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.

Jobs we serve

Where Burbank uses portable shower trailer rentals, from fire staging to race weekends and more

Most of the calls we get from Burbank start with a crew working long days far from a shower, and the jobs below are where that happens most.

Mobile shower unit rentals for Burbank fire staging and agency field operations

Hot-water shower trailer staged outside Burbank, wider view

The hills set the schedule, and the Walnut Fire broke out on August 8, 2026, on the Verdugo hillside above DeBell Golf Course, burned about 40 acres and kept firefighters on mop-up through the next day. In September 2017 the La Tuna Fire forced evacuations around Brace Canyon Park and Castleman Estates.

In January 2025 the California National Guard grew to 2,500 service members for the Los Angeles fires, handling traffic control, patrols and mop-up beside state firefighters. People on those assignments sleep in camps and park lots, and after a long day they want hot water and a door that closes.

After years of placing trailers at staging lots, we start with where people sleep. A unit close to the tents gets used, and one across the lot gets skipped. We set the 8-Station on flat ground at the edge of camp, add an accessible room for anyone who needs one, and service the stock on a fixed schedule.

The same planning works for agencies far from Burbank. Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton sits beside Oceanside, and our portable shower trailer rentals in Oceanside follow the same camp logic, so send a head count, dates and a site address and we will size it.

More uses

More Burbank jobs that call for private shower trailer rentals

Stunt and water days on location

A stunt sequence with mud, water or stage blood leaves performers needing a rinse before the next setup. A private room next to the base camp gets the next setup started on time and the wardrobe clean.

Brush clearance and slope repair

After fires like the Walnut Fire, crews cut fire lines and repair hillsides in dust and heat. A trailer at the staging lot gives them a hot rinse before they leave the hills.

Evacuation and relief sites

When a shelter opens near the Verdugo foothills, people arrive tired and often without a change of clothes. Private rooms, including an accessible one, restore some normal routine.

Outreach and hygiene days

Public-health programs and street outreach teams use hot showers as a first step toward other services. A trailer at a church lot or parking lot makes the day work.

Terminal teardown and site cleanup

Demolition and haul-off at an airport complex leave workers covered in dust, and showers at the yard keep it off their cars and homes.

What ties these together is that a hot shower changes how a long day ends. Our units are staged across the region, so adding a shower trailer to a Burbank job is something we handle all the time. Call early and we will hold the right unit for your dates.

Cost and value

What relief coordinators lose in one shift without a mobile shower unit

Shower trailer on a field operations job, the San Fernando Valley

Think about what a Burbank 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.

Projects

Hot-water shower trailer rentals for Burbank construction yards and industrial camps

Private shower trailer set up near North Hollywood for races

Hollywood Burbank Airport opened its new terminal on October 13, 2026, after 33 months of work on a 355,000 square foot building at Winona Avenue and Hollywood Way. With the move done, the old terminal complex is expected to come down next, and teardown and site work run long enough that a crew needs a clean-up point.

A bus rapid transit line from North Hollywood to Pasadena is bringing curb, sidewalk, ADA ramp and signal work to Olive Avenue, Hollywood Way, Buena Vista Street and Glenoaks Boulevard. Street work has no break room and no shower, so a 4-Station combo in the contractor yard lets about 30 workers rinse off and wash clothes before the drive home.

Warner Bros. Ranch at 411 N. Hollywood Way has been chosen as the LA28 broadcast headquarters, with readiness work starting in January 2027. Fit-out work like that stretches over many months, and the 2-Station Shower and Restroom Combo has an 11 ft box that fits the tight lots where a bigger trailer cannot.

Dense city sites come down to footprint, so we walk the lot with the superintendent before anything rolls. We also deliver farther west, and our shower trailer rentals in Camarillo serve the Ventura County side of the 101 with the same units.

Races

Self-contained shower unit rentals for endurance races and race weekends near Burbank

Shower trailer set up on a San Fernando Valley site

The Burbank YMCA Turkey Trot draws about 2,500 people to Magnolia Boulevard on Thanksgiving morning, but a one-morning road race mostly needs restrooms. Showers earn their place when the event runs longer or gets muddier.

Mud runs, obstacle courses and multi-day relays send athletes home caked in dirt. Directors working from Burbank usually find open ground outside the city, toward the Angeles National Forest edge or the Santa Clarita Valley, and bring the showers to it.

Trail events in the Verdugo foothills plan for closures. After the Walnut Fire, trails near Stough Canyon Nature Center were shut and a Starlight Bowl concert was canceled the same night, so a staging lot with flat ground and a clear entrance makes a safer base than a trailhead.

Size rooms to finishers, not entrants, because people shower in waves after the finish. Hot water holds up better when a service visit tops off the tanks between waves.

Job planning

How we plan mobile shower units for Burbank-area jobs like these

Production manager planning a multi-day stunt sequence

When a production schedules mud, water or stage blood on a lot off Olive Avenue, we plan one private room for every three or four performers. Cast members clean up between takes, and the next call time is tight, so rooms matter more than a long hose line.

Contractor starting curb and ramp work on Hollywood Way

When a contractor opens a corridor job like this, we place a 4-Station combo in the yard rather than on the street. The crew washes up and does laundry on site before the drive home, and the trailer stays out of the traffic plan.

Staging lead during a red flag week below the Verdugo slope

When engine crews stand by in a park lot, we plan the unit near where they sleep. If a hydrant-side power drop exists, we use it and skip the generator, and the unit is serviced on the same schedule every day so nobody has to guess when it will be stocked.

Burbank districts we serve with temporary shower trailers

We deliver across Burbank and the surrounding Valley, from the Media District to the Verdugo foothills. Farther south, our temporary shower trailer rentals in Irvine cover Orange County with the same units and the same service.

We cover Burbank shower trailer rentals across California. Towns and job corridors we serve include Burbank, Downtown Burbank, Media District, Magnolia Park, Rancho, Verdugo Hills, Glendale, Pasadena, North Hollywood, Studio City, Toluca Lake, Universal City, Sun Valley, Sylmar, San Fernando, Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, Encino, Atwater Village, Los Feliz, La Crescenta, Sunland, Tujunga, Altadena.

Full specifications for every unit are on the 8-Station shower trailer spec page for Burbank and its four sister pages, or call and we will spec it to your Burbank head count. Every configuration, with sizes and station counts side by side, is laid out in our California portable showers for rent. Delivery beyond the city line runs through our mobile shower trailer unit rentals throughout California, sized to the guest or head count. Events outside town are covered too; our mobile shower trailer unit rentals in Burbank shows every corridor.

Media District

Studios and production offices fill the west side. Location shoots spill onto nearby streets and back lots, and base camps need power and a flat pad.

Downtown Burbank

San Fernando Boulevard hosts big outdoor events and, soon, bus rapid transit stations. Street closures here mean trailers go into side lots and yards.

Magnolia Park

This older east-side neighborhood sits around Magnolia Boulevard and the Burbank Community YMCA. Parks programs and community events set up in the surrounding lots.

Rancho and the Equestrian Center

The east edge near Griffith Park has large open lots. The Los Angeles Equestrian Center took in animals evacuated from the Eaton Fire, which shows how this ground gets used in an emergency.

Verdugo Hills

Hillside neighborhoods on the north edge saw evacuations in 2017 and again near DeBell Golf Course in 2026. Staging lots here are tight, with narrow approach roads.

Airport district

Around Hollywood Way and Winona Avenue, industrial yards and construction staging serve the airport. Job yards here have the room and power for a larger trailer.

We offer rapid same-day delivery and 24/7 immediate dispatch across Burbank, and we do our best to deliver as quickly as possible.

Cities near Burbank that use our mobile shower trailers

Glendale

Bus rapid transit construction started here in late August 2026 on the same line that reaches Burbank. The Glendale side of the Verdugo Mountains shares Burbank’s brush fire history.

Pasadena

Work on the same transit line began here in April 2026. Pasadena also sits next to the burn area from the January 2025 Eaton Fire, where rebuild work will go on for years.

North Hollywood

The west end of the transit line runs along the 134 Freeway here. Production offices and location shoots fill the nearby streets.

Santa Clarita

Wide open ground north of the Valley gives race directors and film productions the space Burbank lacks. Large sites here can hold several trailers side by side.

Sylmar

The northern Valley meets the Angeles foothills here. Brush season brings agency staging to lots along the foothill edge.

Common questions

What program managers ask about hot-water shower trailers

When do I need an accessible shower unit on a Burbank site?

Bring one in whenever anyone on your crew, event or relief site uses a wheelchair or needs a roll-in shower. The ADA + 2 Private Shower Trailer has two standard rooms and one accessible room, with a self-contained ramp that meets federal ADA requirements and California’s accessibility code. The Single-Station ADA Shower and Restroom Combo has grab bars, a roll-in shower with a seat and wand, and a ramp. Public works jobs like the transit corridor work often ask for accessible facilities, so check the contract.

How often are mobile shower trailers cleaned and restocked on a long Burbank job?

Service follows a set schedule that we agree on when you order, matched to how many people use the trailer. Each visit restocks soap and paper goods, tops off water and pumps the waste tank. Studio and construction jobs here can run for months, so we plan the route before delivery. If a heavy week needs extra visits, call and we add them.

Do the showers hold up in a Burbank heat wave and in winter rain?

Yes. The hot season runs from late June to late September, with August averaging a high near 88 degrees and triple-digit days common in late summer. The rainy period runs from mid-October to late April, and February is the wettest month at about 3 inches. In rain, a gravel or paved pad and a mat at the door keep mud out of the rooms. In a heat wave, ask for more frequent water top-offs.

Will you set up several private shower trailers together if my Burbank camp grows from 30 to 150 people?

Yes. A crew of about 30 fits the 4-Station combo, and a camp of 150 moves to the 8-Station, which serves about 200 people a day. Multiple trailers can sit side by side on one pad and share a water and power plan. Tell us how fast the head count will grow and we stage the next unit before you need it.

Can I keep a portable shower unit for months?

Yes, rentals run from a few days to many months. A 33-month airport build and a roughly two-year broadcast fit-out show how long Burbank jobs can last. On long stays we can tie into a septic or sewer connection so the waste tank is not the limit. Tell us the expected end date, and we plan the service route around it.

Is the cost of a temporary shower trailer rental based on how many people use it?

Head count matters, but several things drive the quote. They are the number of units, the length of the rental, the distance and site access, whether you have water and power hookups, how often we service, whether you need an accessible unit, and the delivery timing. Delivery, setup, service and pickup are all part of the rental. Call with your details and we quote exactly what you need.

Where can I get a hot-water shower trailer with a restroom and laundry together?

The 4-Station Shower, Restroom and Laundry Combo has four private bathrooms, each with a toilet, sink, shower and outlet. A washer and dryer sit in a separate room, and the unit carries 105 gallons of fresh water. It suits crews of about 30 on multi-week jobs. For a smaller group, the 2-Station Shower and Restroom Combo has two bathrooms in an 11 ft box.

What does a CAL FIRE or other agency camp need to send to rent a private shower trailer?

Send a head count, the dates, the site address and what hookups exist. Tell us whether the camp has water and power, and whether anyone needs an accessible room. Agency buyers can also look at the national mobile shower contract the Forest Service posts publicly, which shows what incident bases usually expect. We match the unit to the camp and the paperwork.

Can a mobile shower trailer sit on a Burbank film base camp under a city permit?

Yes, as long as the production’s permit covers the footprint. Film Burbank handles permits, and a fire safety officer is usually assigned. Give us the pad size, the power source and any overnight parking limits. We then confirm that the trailer and its hookups fit the plan.

How much room does an 8-Station need on a tight Burbank lot?

The box is 29 ft long, or 35 ft with the tongue, and it needs a level pad and room to swing in. It also needs one 50 amp 220 volt circuit if you want to skip the generator. Where space is tighter, the 2-Station combo has an 11 ft box. We walk the lot with you before delivery.

Do you serve hillside staging areas above Burbank when trails or roads close?

Yes. We deliver to staging lots and yards. Trail closures like the one after the August 8, 2026 Walnut Fire are the reason crews choose a lot with flat ground and a clear entrance. Tell us which roads are open and we plan the approach.

How to size private shower trailers for a Burbank job: stations, hot water and a one-day plan

The most common mistake in planning showers is counting people on site instead of people who will actually shower. On a construction job, almost everyone does at the end of a shift, while at a film base camp maybe a third do, and mostly after stunt or water scenes. Start with the number who will shower in one day.

Once you have that number, use a rule of thumb. Plan one room for every 25 people who need a shower each day, which keeps the line short and leaves time for cleaning between users. That is how the 8-Station Private Shower Trailer comes to serve about 200 people a day, and it is the unit we reach for on big camps.

Shift change is the real stress test. If 60 people finish at the same time and everyone wants a shower, even a good ratio makes a wait. Staggering the end of shift by 15 minutes cuts the peak, and a second small trailer at the other end of the yard cuts it even more.

Hot water is the next limit. With 200 gallons of fresh water onboard, a long day needs a hookup or a delivered supply, so we size the water plan to the head count and refill on a schedule.

Power comes next. The 8-Station draws on one 50 amp 220 volt circuit, and the ADA + 2 and the 2-Station combo each use two 120 volt 20 amp circuits. If your Burbank lot has shore power, you can skip a generator and the noise that comes with it.

Federal construction sanitation rules cover washing facilities on job sites, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration explains them in its text of 29 CFR 1926.51. A hot private shower goes beyond that minimum, but the rule is a useful reference when a project manager asks what to provide.

Finally, plan for growth. A job that starts at 20 people can reach 80 in a month, so ask for a trailer that can be joined by a second one without moving the first. That saves a second site visit and keeps the crew’s routine steady.

OSHA sanitation text, 29 CFR 1926.51

A base camp checklist for Burbank film shoots: power, water, permits and parking

Film work in Burbank starts with the permit. The city film office issues them, and the fire department usually assigns a safety officer on public or private property. Permits often come back in a few days, and when the public right of way is involved it takes a little longer. Do not order a trailer before you know the footprint is approved.

Next is the pad. A base camp usually sits on a studio lot, so walk the space with a tape measure. The 8-Station needs 35 ft with the tongue, and the 2-Station combo is only an 11 ft box. Mark the turn-in and check for low wires.

Power is the biggest decision. Many productions run generators for lights and camera carts, and a deluxe shower trailer on the same generator adds load. If the lot has a 50 amp 220 volt outlet, the 8-Station can plug in and run quietly, which helps when sound crews are close by.

Water works the same way. If a hydrant or building spigot is near, a hose can feed the trailer and the onboard tanks become a backup. If not, plan the refill schedule with the water supply in mind, since stunt and mud days use more water than a regular shoot.

Parking is the quiet problem. Honeywagons, talent trailers, grip trucks and crew cars compete for the same curb. Place the unit close to wardrobe and makeup, not at the far end of the lot, because people use what is close.

Waste water needs a plan too. Gray water goes to a sanitary sewer tie-in or is hauled away, never to a storm drain. Ask the location manager whether the lot has a clean-out, and if it does not, we handle hauling on a schedule.

Last, think about the wrap. Pickup should match the strike, not the last shooting day. Tell us when the lot will close so we can pull the trailer before the grip crews do, and a clean handoff keeps the lot owner happy.

Gray water, hookups and where the shower water goes on a Burbank site

People often ask what happens to the water after the shower. It goes into a waste tank under the trailer. The 8-Station holds 950 gallons of waste and 200 gallons of fresh water, and smaller units hold less waste, so they need more frequent service.

California regional water boards treat storm drains as a direct line to creeks and the ocean. Shower water has soap and skin oils in it, so it cannot go there. That is why the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board is the regulator you will hear about on a Burbank job.

There are two legal ways to get rid of the water. One is a licensed hauler who pumps the tank and takes it to a treatment facility, and the other is a connection to a sanitary sewer. On a long job, a sewer or septic tie-in removes the tank as the limit.

If you want a sewer tie-in, check with Burbank public works or Burbank Water and Power about where a clean-out sits and who can connect to it. Some yards already have a line near the pad, while others do not, and hauling is easier.

On the supply side, you have three choices. You can hook to a hydrant or building spigot, use the onboard tanks, or have water delivered. Hookups are best for long jobs, tanks work for short ones, and delivered water suits remote lots like a hillside staging area.

Power and water go together. A hose to a spigot is easy, but the pump and heater need the electric circuit, so confirm both at the same time so one does not hold up the other. We ask for photos of the outlet and the spigot.

Frozen pipes are not a Burbank problem, but heavy rain can wash out a gravel pad. Set the trailer on level ground and keep the drain valves clear. If the lot floods, call and we adjust the setup.

What drives the quote on a shower trailer rental, explained without a price list

A mobile shower trailer quote is not a single line. It is built from a handful of choices you make, and each one is easy to adjust. Knowing them lets you plan a Burbank job without surprises.

The first driver is the unit. A one-room accessible combo costs less to move and serve than an 8-Station. The second is how many units, since two small trailers placed apart can beat one big one when a site has two work areas.

Rental length matters because it changes how the work is organized. A weekend race and a six-month airport project need different service routes, and long rentals often use a sewer or septic tie-in so fewer pump-outs are needed.

Distance and access are next. A trailer going to a flat studio lot is simple, but a trailer going up a narrow hillside road needs a plan, and sometimes a different tow setup. Tell us what the approach looks like.

Hookups come into it too. A site with a 50 amp 220 volt outlet and a water spigot needs less equipment from us than a site with nothing, and if you have power you can usually skip a generator.

Service frequency is the other big one. A crew of 20 needs fewer visits than a crew of 150, and heavy use, dust and mud also raise how often we restock and clean.

Finally, accessible units and delivery timing affect the quote. An ADA unit is a specialized trailer, and a rush delivery uses a different dispatch plan than a planned one. Call with your details and we explain what you are paying for.
