How do I pick the correct size bathroom trailer for my event?
The answer depends on two things:
- Expected guest count
- A few key details like the event duration, whether alcohol will be served, and if the trailer is the main restroom option
Bathroom Trailer Sizes by Guest Count
Here are our general recommendations for restroom trailer sizes:
- 2-Station Trailer: 0 to 100 guests
- 3-Station Trailer: 50 to 150 guests
- 4-Station Community Style Trailer: 100 to 200 guests
- 4-Station Private Stall Trailer: 150 to 250 guests
Your guest count gives you a good starting point, but the details of your event may mean moving up a size.
When to Consider a Larger Trailer
Even if your guest count falls into one range, you may need the next size up if:
- Event duration: Longer events mean more restroom trips
- Alcohol service: Serving alcohol increases restroom use
- Primary vs. secondary restrooms: If the trailer is the only restroom available, it needs to handle more traffic
- Concerns about lines: If you want to minimize wait times, going with the larger option is the safest choice
Examples
80 guests, 4-hour wedding, alcohol served, primary restroom → 3-Station Trailer
80 guests, 3-hour birthday party, no alcohol, secondary restroom → 2-Station Trailer
200 guests, all-day event with alcohol, primary restroom → 4-Station Private Trailer

Choosing the right restroom trailer size helps your event run smoothly and keeps your guests comfortable. When in doubt, it is always better to size up, especially for longer events, when alcohol is involved, or if you want to avoid long lines.
