Private Luxury Shower Trailers Delivered Statewide
The Lavatory ranks as the top shower trailer rental company in New Mexico. Homeowners, work crews, and event teams book our private, luxury shower trailers all over the state. You get a heated, air-conditioned room with real hot water and a door that locks. We haul the units to any New Mexico address, and each one carries its own water and makes its own power, so it works with nothing plugged in.
These trailers cover a lot of ground. They go out for disaster response after wildfires, floods, and winter storms; for oilfield crews in the southeast; for film and television shoots around Albuquerque; for military and government field operations; for farm, ranch, and dairy jobs; for hazmat decon; for festivals and sporting events; for rural and tribal community programs; and for street outreach. Some rentals last a single weekend and others run for months, and we keep a share of them on a standing route we service on a schedule.
We own every trailer and service it ourselves, with no middleman. Nobody hands you a unit we have never inspected, because we do not broker other people’s equipment. Our crews have completed more than 20,000 deliveries, and dispatch answers around the clock, seven days a week, anywhere in the state. Send us the address, the dates, and a headcount, and we will price it.

We run one of the largest fleets in the nation, over 200 trailers. That much equipment lets us match a unit to your headcount, your site, and your calendar anywhere in New Mexico, then add a second one if the job outgrows the first. Every unit is self-contained and every unit ships from our own yard. Most big jobs start with the 8-Station.
8-Station Private Shower Trailer
This is our largest shower-only unit, built with eight separate rooms. Running eight showers at the same time keeps the line short when a full Permian crew or a packed wildfire shelter arrives all at once.
Fresh, grey, and black tanks ride onboard, so it stands alone with no hookups. Each person gets a locking room and steady hot water, and the finishes hold up under heavy daily traffic.

ADA + 2 Private Shower Trailer
This trailer puts one accessible shower suite next to two standard private rooms. A single drop gives you wheelchair access plus a bit of extra capacity. Shelters, festivals, and county programs lean on this unit often.
The accessible side has a flat roll-in entry, grab bars, a fold-down seat, and room enough to turn a chair around. It runs with no hookups, the same as the rest of the fleet.

4-Station Shower, Restroom & Laundry Combo
The combo adds laundry to the mix, which pays off on a long job. Your crew can shower, use the restroom, and wash a load of work clothes without ever leaving the site.
One climate-controlled trailer holds four private showers, restroom stalls, and working washers and dryers, and it powers itself. It suits weeks-long jobs where the crew needs to stay near the work.

Single-Station ADA Shower & Restroom Combo
This compact trailer combines one accessible shower with a restroom. Its small size lets it fit a narrow lot or handle a small job like a rural community program.
Even with the smaller footprint, it still carries the roll-in entry, grab bars, hot water, and air conditioning of the larger units. It brings everything it needs, so it can set down almost anywhere in the state.
View this trailerWhy Our Shower Trailers Outperform a Basic Unit
Plenty of companies will rent you a box with a shower inside. Few of them can set that box on a lot with no water and no power and still keep a hundred people in hot showers all week. Three things set our trailers apart.
Hot water that does not run out
Cheap units heat the first few showers and then go cold. Ours run commercial heaters sized for real demand, so the last person in line gets water as hot as the first. At a Carlsbad camp where a whole shift lines up at once, or a wildfire shelter where families arrive worn out at the end of the day, that is the line between useful and useless. We spec the heaters so they never run cold.
Runs with no water or power
The job out here rarely sits near a water line or a spare outlet. A lease road in Lea County, a mesa in the San Juan Basin, or a new shelter lot after a fire almost never has either. So each trailer carries its own water and makes its own power, so it works with nothing plugged in: a fresh-water supply, sealed grey and black tanks, and an onboard generator. That setup delivers hot, pressurized showers with nothing to connect to. If a site does offer power and water, we tap it and keep the onboard supply in reserve.
Clean and fully stocked
We sanitize each unit and refill the soap, towels, and paper on a set schedule, not whenever we happen to get to it. The climate control handles both ends of a New Mexico day, a 100-degree afternoon in the Chihuahuan Desert and a freezing night at 7,000 feet. People use a clean trailer and steer clear of a dirty one, which is exactly why we keep on top of it.
Industries and Jobs We Serve Across New Mexico
If a site has no plumbing, it is a site for our trailers, and New Mexico has that kind of work everywhere, across desert, oil country, high mountains, farmland, and tribal land. Long drives and bare ground come with the territory, and that is exactly what our self-contained units were built for. Here are the jobs they take on most across the state.
Oil and gas crews in the Permian
The New Mexico side of the Permian Basin, around Carlsbad and Hobbs in Eddy and Lea counties, is one of the busiest oil regions in the country. The basin as a whole pumps more than six million barrels of crude a day, and the New Mexico side drives a large share of that growth. Crews work remote leases for weeks at a time, often far from the nearest town. Man camps stack workers into rows of trailers, and the plumbing on hand rarely matches the number of bodies. We drive 8-station and combo units straight to the camp, set them up to run on their own, and keep them serviced until the job wraps. When the shower is right there at shift change, nobody burns an hour of daylight driving to town and back just to rinse off.
Pipeline, wind, and solar construction
A pipeline crew inches a few miles down the right-of-way every week, and there is almost never a building along the way. Southeast and central New Mexico are also filling in with wind and solar farms on open range and mesa land, and new pipeline keeps going in to carry Permian oil and gas to market. The work is remote and strung out, and town falls further behind the crew every week. We stage shower and combo units that travel with the job and run off their own water and power, so hot showers and clean restrooms follow the crew no matter how far it gets from the last roof.
Wildfires
New Mexico burns, and the fires here run large. The Calf Canyon and Hermits Peak Fire in 2022 grew to more than 341,000 acres across San Miguel, Mora, and Taos counties, the largest wildfire in state history, and it destroyed more than 900 structures. It started from two federal prescribed burns that got away and merged during a wind event. Recovery ran for months, and recovery crews, ranch hands, and displaced families all needed a place to wash up while the work went on. As a FEMA disaster-relief partner, we set self-contained units at shelters and staging points, run them on their own water and power because the sites often have neither, and keep them serviced for as long as the response lasts.
Floods and monsoon storms
Burn scars flood fast when the summer monsoon hits. Ground that lost its trees and grass to a fire sheds water instead of soaking it up, so a hard rain miles away can send mud and debris through a town below the scar. Communities downstream from the 2022 fire have flooded again and again in the years since, and towns can lose water and power for days at a time. A hot shower is one of the first normal things a family gets back after that. We stage units at shelters and cleanup sites and keep them going until the recovery winds down.
Winter storms and drought emergencies
Winter storms in the northern mountains and long droughts across the whole state both leave people without safe running water. New Mexico has spent much of the last decade in drought, and small water systems and private wells feel it first. A dry well, a frozen line, or a failed rural system all end the same way, no safe water at the tap. Because each trailer heats water from its own onboard tanks, we can stand up hot showers at a warming center, a shelter, or a staging area while the local supply is still out. Fresh water comes in on our truck and the waste leaves on it, so the site handles neither.
Military and government
New Mexico holds one of the largest military footprints in the country. White Sands Missile Range covers more than two million acres across five counties and is the largest military installation in the United States. Holloman Air Force Base sits next to it near Alamogordo, Kirtland Air Force Base anchors Albuquerque, and the McGregor Range at Fort Bliss reaches up from the south. Field exercises, testing, and National Guard operations put troops far out on the range with no building for miles. Our SAM.gov federal registration lets us take these jobs, place shower units out on the range, keep them serviced through a weeks-long exercise, and hold to the standards a defense contract demands.
Farms, ranches, and dairies
Field crews put in their hours a long way from any building. New Mexico grows roughly a third of the nation’s chile and pecans, and dairy leads all its farm products, with some of the biggest average herds in the country. Cattle range across open country, and the Hatch and Mesilla valleys and the Roswell area put large hand crews in the field through harvest. Federal rules say every one of those crews needs a toilet and a proper handwashing setup close by, stocked with soap, clean water, and towels. A single combo unit covers the showers and the restrooms, and we keep it on a route all season so the grower stays in the clear and the crew stays clean.
Hazmat and industrial cleanups
Decon showers are a standard part of hazmat and heavy industrial work. Before anyone leaves a contaminated zone they have to rinse down, which takes genuine hot water and enough stalls to clear a whole shift without a backup at the gate. That situation turns up at New Mexico’s oil and gas facilities, its mines, and its federal sites. We bring trailers with the hot water and the throughput to handle a full crew at shift change, and they run on their own on sites with no hookups.
Festivals and large events
A handful of the nation’s biggest gatherings land in New Mexico, and the grounds rarely carry enough plumbing for the crowds, let alone the crews working them. The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta drew more than 838,000 visits across its run in 2024 with 551 registered balloons, and it is the largest balloon event in the world. The Gathering of Nations in Albuquerque is the largest powwow in North America, and the Roswell UFO Festival fills that town every July. These events run for days and put staff, performers, vendors, and grounds crews on site around the clock. We bring shower trailers for the people who stay on the grounds for the whole event and keep them clean and serviced through the weekend.
Film and television
Albuquerque is a major production hub. Netflix runs its expanded ABQ Studios on more than 100 acres at Mesa del Sol, and it has spent hundreds of millions of dollars filming in the state and employed thousands of New Mexicans. Productions shoot all over the state, often on remote desert, mesa, and small-town locations with nothing built for the cast and crew. A shoot can put a hundred or more people on open ground for days, and they still need a clean, private place to shower and change. We deliver units sized to the production, place them clear of the set, and service them around the shoot days so the schedule never waits on us.
Sporting and outdoor events
Marathons, trail races, mountain bike rides, and tournaments often run at parks, trailheads, and open sites with no showers anywhere close. New Mexico has plenty of that terrain, from the high country around Santa Fe and Taos to the desert around Las Cruces. We stage shower trailers by the finish line so athletes, volunteers, and staff have somewhere to rinse off. One unit keeps a steady line moving all day on its own water and power, so the event does not need a building anywhere near it.
Construction and large building projects
New Mexico has major projects underway, from data centers and chip-related plants around Albuquerque and Rio Rancho to highway, pipeline, and water infrastructure work across the state. Intel has run a large fab in Rio Rancho for years, and new construction keeps drawing big crews to the metro. They run for months at a time with large crews and no fixed facilities on site. We park self-contained units on site, pick a spot that stays clear of the equipment, and time the servicing around the work so the job never slows down for it.
Rural and tribal community outreach
Access to running water is not a given everywhere in New Mexico. A large share of households on the Navajo Nation still haul their own water and live without indoor plumbing, and other rural and remote parts of the state face the same thing. Tribal programs, nonprofits, and churches run hygiene and relief efforts for these communities, and they often set up on land with no water or power at all. Our trailers are made for exactly that. We deliver self-contained shower units to community sites and outreach events, haul in fresh water and haul the waste out, and keep the units serviced on a set schedule so the program can run week after week.
Homeless outreach
Cities like Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Las Cruces, and Farmington operate hygiene services for people who are unhoused, and churches and nonprofits fill in the gaps statewide. Getting clean is a first step toward getting back on your feet, and these efforts usually work out of a lot with no water or power. What they need is dependable, repeating shower service, not a single visit. We put those stops on a fixed schedule and keep every unit clean and stocked so the program can rely on it.
Hunting camps and the outdoors
Hunting and outdoor recreation bring people onto remote New Mexico land for the season. The state draws elk, deer, and antelope hunters onto huge tracts of private and public land, and outfitters run camps far from any town. Guest ranches, glamping outfits, and state parks lean on our units as a bathhouse wherever there is nothing to plumb into. All of that work happens off the grid on the trailer’s own water and power, which is precisely the job ours were designed for.
How We Handle Delivery, Power, and Water on Any Site
Setting a shower trailer on the ground in New Mexico takes more than a drop-off. The rules change from one county to the next, and change again on tribal land. We serve the whole state, and we settle the site details before the truck leaves the yard.
County and tribal permits
Permit rules turn on the county and on whether the site sits on tribal land. We lay out what your location will need before any inspection.
Power: hookup or generator
If shore power is on site, we plug into it. If it is not, the trailer’s onboard generator handles the whole load.
Water: spigot or tanks
We connect to a spigot when one is available. When no plumbing is nearby, the onboard fresh and waste tanks do the job.
Heat and AC in every room
Each room carries its own heat and air conditioning, set for a scorching desert afternoon or a cold high-country night.
Statewide coverage
We keep units staged across the state and send the closest one to your job to shorten the drive.
Built to run off-grid
Because a unit carries its own water and makes its own power, it can go live on a bare lease road, a mesa, or a shelter lot with nothing built on it yet.
What a New Mexico Shower Trailer Rental Costs
No two jobs price the same, so we write a quote for each one instead of posting a flat rate that would only mislead you. Take two crews of identical size on two different sites and the numbers can end up far apart. A handful of factors move the price up or down.
Distance is the first. New Mexico is a big state with long hauls, so a run to a lease near Hobbs or a job on the Navajo Nation eats more road time than a drop inside Albuquerque. Timing is the second, since wildfire season, harvest, and big event weekends like the Balloon Fiesta all book the fleet at the same time. Rental length counts too, because a month-long oilfield job prices out differently than a weekend event. An off-grid setup adds servicing, since a truck has to haul fresh water in and pull the waste out on a regular cycle. Station count factors in as well. Give us the location and the calendar and we will hand you a firm figure, with no surprises later.
Why New Mexico Crews and Event Teams Book Us
We run one of the largest fleets in the nation, over 200 trailers. That kind of depth lets us fit a trailer to your job and send backups when one will not cover it. In a single week we can place eight stations at a Permian camp and an accessible unit at an Albuquerque shelter and still have plenty left in the yard.
Every trailer is ours and our crews service it, start to finish. Since we are not reselling gear we have never seen, we control the condition, the setup, and the timing. We hold full licensing and insurance, the kind the producers, agencies, and energy companies we work with require. Our SAM.gov registration also opens federal and military contracts that many rental yards cannot bid.
We have also worked New Mexico for years. We know the long desert hauls, the way county and tribal permits differ, and the daily swing from desert heat to a hard freeze up at altitude. More than 20,000 completed deliveries have shown us how to put dependable hot water on a site that starts with nothing at all.
Recent Shower Trailer Jobs Around New Mexico
Here are a few recent jobs, with the client names left out. Each one shows what the trailers can do when a New Mexico site starts with nothing.
A fire in the northern mountains opened a shelter for families who had lost power and water at home. The call came in early, and within hours we had several shower trailers parked at the staging lot. With no utilities at the building, the units ran on their own tanks and generators, and people were cleaning up by that afternoon. When the response ran past a week, we added laundry and restrooms and kept up the servicing.
An operator in the southeast needed showers for a crew camped near a far-out lease during a long drilling stretch. The nearest town sat close to an hour away. We dropped a combo unit, ran it on its own water and generator, and put it on a standing service route, so the crew got hot showers and clean restrooms at shift change rather than driving that road twice a day.
A production filming outside Albuquerque set up on bare desert ground with nothing for the cast and crew. We sent self-contained shower trailers sized to the shoot, parked them clear of the shot, and timed the servicing around their filming days. The production ran for weeks, and we never missed a scheduled service.
What Our New Mexico Clients Say
The fire left families at our shelter with nowhere to wash up. That same day, The Lavatory rolled in fully self-contained, set up right there in the lot, and kept every unit hot and clean for the whole recovery. Honestly, we would not have made it through without them.
We are way out past the last stoplight on this lease. For weeks on end the trailer ran off its own tanks and generator and never once quit on us. For the crew, a hot shower at shift change out here in the oil patch was no small thing.
These were on a shoot in the desert with nothing for miles around. They arrived on schedule, took care of every service call before we had to ask, and the cast actually enjoyed using them. The inside is much nicer than I expected.
We booked two units for a big outdoor event on grounds with no hookups at all. They handled everything, showed up early to set up, and the showers stayed spotless all weekend long. For next year, they are the first call we make.
Common Questions About New Mexico Shower Trailer Rentals
Do you deliver shower trailers to my area of New Mexico?
Very likely. We cover the state end to end, from Albuquerque and Rio Rancho to Santa Fe, Las Cruces, Roswell, Farmington, and the Carlsbad and Hobbs oil country. We also get out to the remote leases, mesas, and tribal land that many yards avoid. Send us the address and the dates and we will confirm the run.
My site has no water hookup or power. Is that a problem?
That describes most of the jobs we handle here. Each trailer carries its own water and makes its own power, so it works with nothing plugged in: it holds a fresh-water supply, seals grey and black water in onboard tanks, and runs off a built-in generator, giving you hot, pressurized showers with nothing to connect. If the site does have hookups, we will use them instead.
Are any of your shower trailers wheelchair accessible?
Yes. We keep two fully accessible units: a single-station ADA shower-and-restroom combo, and an ADA suite paired with two standard private showers. Both have a roll-in entry, grab bars, and a fold-down seat, and both run self-contained like the rest of the fleet.
How quickly can you respond to a wildfire or emergency?
Fast. As a FEMA disaster-relief partner with 24/7 dispatch, we can get shower trailers to a New Mexico shelter or staging area in a hurry. Each one carries its own water and makes its own power, so it works with nothing plugged in, has people cleaned up that day, and we add laundry and restrooms if the response drags on.
How far ahead should I book a shower trailer?
Earlier is better, particularly around wildfire season, harvest, and packed weekends like the Balloon Fiesta when the fleet fills up. Booking early lets us review the site, handle any county or tribal permits, and hold the unit you need. If it is an emergency, our 24/7 dispatch can usually turn it around fast.
What areas of New Mexico do you service?
Every area. Our heaviest coverage runs through Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, Las Cruces, Roswell, Farmington, Carlsbad, and Hobbs, but no matter where your job sits in the state, we can place a unit on it.
How do I know how many shower stations to rent?
It depends on how many people you have and how fast they cycle through. A smaller trailer usually covers a couple dozen users. A shelter intake or a shift change where everyone showers at once tends to need the 8-station or a second unit. Our coordinators help you land on the right count.
Can you handle federal and military contracts in New Mexico?
Yes. With our SAM.gov registration we can take on military, federal, and government shower trailer contracts. We have supported field operations near installations such as White Sands Missile Range and Holloman Air Force Base, keeping self-contained units serviced for the full length of the operation.
Can I rent long-term for an oilfield or construction crew?
Absolutely. Permian leases near Carlsbad and Hobbs, pipeline spreads, and large construction sites keep our units for weeks or months at a time. We set the trailer at the camp or job site, run it on its own water and power, and hold it on a set service route.
Will your trailers satisfy farm field-sanitation requirements?
Yes. Federal law requires toilets and proper handwashing, stocked with soap, clean water, and towels, close to every hand crew. A single combo unit brings the showers and restrooms together, and we keep it serviced right through the chile and pecan harvest so the operation stays compliant.
