That happened to us we spent 2 hours setting up a 40x40 plus chairs,tables and a restrooms company showed up and it was more expensive than us. Now we are trying to get into the restroom business
Thanks so much for sharing this info! What kind of insurance do you recommend for it? And approximately what is the cost per year? (If you don’t mind my asking). Also, do you require a security deposit? Is so, how much do you charge? Do you find things get broken often? Thank you for your help! I appreciate it greatly!
Can you explain on how the legal side of it goes as long as figuring out how to split the money with your business partners, and how you figured out how it works with putting in 50% of the money and getting paid as if you were putting in 100% of it even though physically or on paper you put only 50% of it? That parts confused me, I'd LOVE to know how you get that worded up in a contract. Do you work with a lawyer or lawyers to create your contract or ironclad contracts?
You travel with waste in the trailer? The manufacturers highly recommend against that. Mine holds 450 gallons. While, it will rarely reach that limit, that is a lot of weight that creates more wear and tear during transport, to the trailer and the tow vehicle.
Yes we do. I know what they say, but I’m not getting a septic company to go to every site. We have not had any issues, but I know that we could one day. The more people you talk to in this business you’ll find that most transport it back to the warehouse.
Hey curious how you’re allowed to dump trailer potties at campgrounds. By law aren’t you supposed to take it to a authorized facility or you face massive fines if caught?
What size would you recommend me starting off with? Unfortunately I will have to look for one on marketplace and kind of started from scratch sincerely your nail tech that's looking for a new side hustle because people think 65.00 is too much for a set of nails and I am not about to go back to a 9 to 5 !! Thanks again!!!!
Hi there, any concerns with evacuating using just gravity? Would you need a vacuum truck or slide on tank to make sure the washroom tanks are fully sucked empty?
They vary on size, capacity, features, quality and luxury (which luxuries would fall under features). Mine is a 16ft long and 10ft tall with men's and women's rooms. 2 stall women's room, 1 stall and 1 urinal men's room. Both rooms have vanities, stall partitions, faux granite tops. It is equipped with a 450 gallon waste tank, 140 gallon fresh tank, a/c and heat hvac, wall heaters, waste tank heater and trailer brakes. Mine is 6k pounds empty. Cost difference from this unit in the video is a little over $30k. Minor truck modifications to the suspension were needed, because I own a chevy 1500 3.0 duramax diesel. The trailer is quite a bit forward heavy, which means more tongue weight. I added an air bag system to level the squat of the truck which also levels the trailer. The unit in the video is probably in the 3k-3500 weight range at the most.
awesome! love it..going to sign up for the patreon. Just curios how you structure a deal like that. You own 30%..Does that mean of the revenue forever!? would love to learn more about this. Love the vids man
I'm just curious as to how you advertise the toilet trailer? I checked craigs list in my area and there are no such ads. I'm from Phoenix, AZ and we don't really have outdoor weddings here due to the heat. Wondering who would use it here in this climate?
Not exactly sure who would use it, but it does have air conditioning. I advertise on Facebook, and people find it on my website when searching for Party rental companies. I think craigslist is a bad place to be looking for these advertised. Check to see if any local Party rental places have them in inventory
Not needed. I’m not the venue. It’s not our responsibility. They make Ada ones if needed. But like I said, not our responsibility. If a business is renting it they have to have a solution. Backyard events Ada would not apply. I’m never the person throwing the party. Just supplying things that are ordered.
Hey boss love this so much this has been on my mind for three years now. I work in a lot of new construction jobs for solar farms. Is it cool if I reach out to you personally on email I’m just super curious but also kinda scared to start my own company
I will follow up 2 weeks later. I know I’m high by doing the research of pricing around me. If if not listed I’ll call up, or have someone else call saying we are planning to do an event next year. Not sure what we need. Can we get a price list emailed over. If I’m calling I give them a non business email.
@@thetentguy excellent, thank you. Now what if you got other prices and you were higher than others by let’s say a couple hundred? Not sure if I am yet. I’m finding out. And you already sent out “cold call e-mails” to different event planner companies, with a price sheet attached ? I was thinking of maybe doing a loyalty program to where planners get $150 off their rentals with the 3rd rental on for the remainder of 2022. Or do I resend in a couple months with a prices reduced, I’m just not sure I appreciate you’re knowledge and advice
I would follow up with them and let them know that you have been doing some price research and might be high. I’ve heard of companies doing an 8%-10% commission at end of year. That way they will rent from you, pass the cost onto their customer and then get the commission.
Hey man thanks for making video. What state are y’all in? I’m 100% interested in this being my second company and would love to talk to you- If you’re up for that? Let me know how I can DM you
How is your 2 stall unit working out for you Im very curious, and have just received a quote on a 2 unit trailer … I’m in southern Ontario it’s 40k so I’d luv to have it paid back in 2 years with revenue I would have to have it rented out 12-14 times per season at 1500 per event
No. These are not Ada compliant and they don’t have to be. It’s not on us to provide it, it’s on the event holder. If they need to provide it they need to find the solution. Usually it’s an Ada porta pottie. You can buy Ada trailers but they are way more expensive to buy.
The same. All our prices are for the day they need it. We just deliver before the event and pick up sometime after to make it easier on us and them. If a place has same day in/out requirements we actually add $50-$100 more because of the inconvenience. Having people not able to do other jobs during that time or possibly having to wait around.
We drip it off for the weekend but it’s for a one day event. The customer died mot need to be worried all morning in the day of their event if it’s coming or not so we deliver 1-2 days ahead. Makes everything easier. They can only use it during their event otherwise they will run out of water and we will charge them a bunch to come out and empty the waste and refill the fresh.
Hey man I love the channel, are you still seeing success and a decent ROI on the restroom trailers? I own a small businesses and have a full time job, call me a glutton for punishment but I’m seriously considering getting one or two of these because we have a lot if backyard weddings and special events year round. If the juice is worth the squeeze I think I might give lang trailers a call. My main question…where do you dump the waste or do you take it to a septic company to pump out? Thanks for your help love the page 🤙🏼@@thetentguy

I worked in that line of business and yes there are super easy to set up and the owner made mad money on units like this ....
That happened to us we spent 2 hours setting up a 40x40 plus chairs,tables and a restrooms company showed up and it was more expensive than us. Now we are trying to get into the restroom business
Congratulations on your new business?
I became enlightened a few days ago on this subject!
This is where the money is at!
"congratulations on your new business?"
why the question mark?😂
Thanks so much for sharing this info!
What kind of insurance do you recommend for it? And approximately what is the cost per year? (If you don’t mind my asking).
Also, do you require a security deposit?
Is so, how much do you charge?
Do you find things get broken often?
Thank you for your help! I appreciate it greatly!
did you end up getting your question answered ?
Awesome mr tent guy. I was thinking about buying a portable tent one like, for the summer parks. Thank you for me I’m thinking harder.
Can you explain on how the legal side of it goes as long as figuring out how to split the money with your business partners, and how you figured out how it works with putting in 50% of the money and getting paid as if you were putting in 100% of it even though physically or on paper you put only 50% of it? That parts confused me, I'd LOVE to know how you get that worded up in a contract. Do you work with a lawyer or lawyers to create your contract or ironclad contracts?
Had to listen as the shaking made me ill. Congratulations though and hope you make a fortune.
Not sure how you found a septic company to pump out for $100. In Long Island every company wants $350 plus
You travel with waste in the trailer? The manufacturers highly recommend against that. Mine holds 450 gallons. While, it will rarely reach that limit, that is a lot of weight that creates more wear and tear during transport, to the trailer and the tow vehicle.
Yes we do. I know what they say, but I’m not getting a septic company to go to every site. We have not had any issues, but I know that we could one day. The more people you talk to in this business you’ll find that most transport it back to the warehouse.
So at the camp ground you all empty it yourself? And how?
Hey curious how you’re allowed to dump trailer potties at campgrounds. By law aren’t you supposed to take it to a authorized facility or you face massive fines if caught?
Can I tow one similar to yours (4 stall) with a half ton truck? An F150 with a 4.6? Hope the operation is running smooth. Thanks.
I "liked"
Yeah that’s what we do.
Hello I’m interested in buying one! Can you help please? Any recommendations are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
What size would you recommend me starting off with? Unfortunately I will have to look for one on marketplace and kind of started from scratch sincerely your nail tech that's looking for a new side hustle because people think 65.00 is too much for a set of nails and I am not about to go back to a 9 to 5 !!
Thanks again!!!!
Hi there, any concerns with evacuating using just gravity? Would you need a vacuum truck or slide on tank to make sure the washroom tanks are fully sucked empty?
With just gravity, you put a hose in the back toilet as it is draining. Gets it all out.
Congrats on the business
Thanks for the info! Where did you buy the unit? In the US?
Thanks for sharing
Big Thanks👍🏾
Great information Thanks
Very detailed. Thx
How much does it weigh?
No idea but a 1500 can pull it.
They vary on size, capacity, features, quality and luxury (which luxuries would fall under features). Mine is a 16ft long and 10ft tall with men's and women's rooms. 2 stall women's room, 1 stall and 1 urinal men's room. Both rooms have vanities, stall partitions, faux granite tops.

Would be able to share the name of the company that has sold you the unit? Thanks for the great insights! AWESOME!

Does anyone know someone that can build out a restroom trailer? I have a 6x12 looking to get it outfitted. Anyone? Im on the east coast VA/NC
Do you need a permit to operate your services in a public space or even just to rent it privately in NYC?
Hi, thanks for the great video. Do you have any recommendations on new vs. used restroom trailers? Is a warranty important?
If you can find used definitely get it if it’s the right price.
What kind of cleaning supplies do you buy to clean inside of the trailer? Do you buy in bulk? Thank you!
Bulk yes. Just normal stuff. Simple green concentrate
Nice what is the model that has tow in each side, I like the price between 26,000 and 30,000 dollar?
awesome! love it..going to sign up for the patreon. Just curios how you structure a deal like that. You own 30%..Does that mean of the revenue forever!? would love to learn more about this. Love the vids man
Yes 30% forever. Thanks for watching!
Hi sir how much can I purchase a double trailer
7:37 why not just buy a used pump truck or some places like loves have RV dump
How does cover their assets if the trailer gets stolen, even with insurance who knows how long the recovery process.
If that’s a concern in you area I would suggest hiding a tracking device in it.
Good video.
All the information is awsome.
What company did you go with as far as manufacturer?
Forest River
@@thetentguy Thanks Tent Guy

Do you refill the water tank from home or do you go somewhere and pay to get it filled up? Btw subscribed to your channel 😃
We fill on site if possible. If not we charge $30 more for fill up at our warehouse.
Love your videos, where do you purchase the restroom
I now purchase from Lang specialty trailers. Was forest River.
Im starting with a 7 station one and see how it goes about 70k
Awesome! Hope you do well!
@@thetentguy Thank you i appreciate it !
How do you get around ada laws? They don’t seem to be wheelchair accessible.
Not needed. I’m not the venue. It’s not our responsibility. They make Ada ones if needed. But like I said, not our responsibility. If a business is renting it they have to have a solution. Backyard events Ada would not apply. I’m never the person throwing the party. Just supplying things that are ordered.
What do you charge if you’re just delivering the restroom?
Delivery fee is mikes x $4.00
Hey boss love this so much this has been on my mind for three years now. I work in a lot of new construction jobs for solar farms. Is it cool if I reach out to you personally on email I’m just super curious but also kinda scared to start my own company
Were did u buy your portable restrooms at.
Lang specialty trailers and forest River.
When you write a quote for an event planner and they don’t get back to you.. Do you follow up? How do you know if you’re priced too high ?
I will follow up 2 weeks later. I know I’m high by doing the research of pricing around me. If if not listed I’ll call up, or have someone else call saying we are planning to do an event next year. Not sure what we need. Can we get a price list emailed over. If I’m calling I give them a non business email.

@@thetentguy what part of ny are you in
I just bought a Bastone 2 unit portable restroom . What kind of price do you recommend for rental? I’m just starting out. Thanks
Totally depends on market. But around 800-1000 in general.
How is your 2 stall unit working out for you Im very curious, and have just received a quote on a 2 unit trailer … I’m in southern Ontario it’s 40k so I’d luv to have it paid back in 2 years with revenue I would have to have it rented out 12-14 times per season at 1500 per event
It does great. A lot of parties are the 80-120 mark.
Do u only rent it out for 12-14 times in a season in ontario ?? @@davidvarney7353
Any issues with handicap accesibility/ramp with the business?
No. These are not Ada compliant and they don’t have to be. It’s not on us to provide it, it’s on the event holder. If they need to provide it they need to find the solution. Usually it’s an Ada porta pottie.
You can buy Ada trailers but they are way more expensive to buy.
@@thetentguy
Thank you for your reply.
Wish you much success.
Do you need a permit to do this
Will depend on jurisdiction. But most places you do not.
What electric hook ups is yours? I’m looking at one that is 220v and wondering how hooking that is
Ours is normal 120 plug.
You may need to always use a generator with yours.
I’ll look at others as well
What company did you buy it from?
Forest River but we now buy from Lang specialty trailers
Witch company manufacturing this restroom Traylor
This one is forest River. I buy from Lang specialty trailers now.
I would love to chat with you regarding your restroom trailers. Planning to start my restroom rental business in the next couple of months.
Hi, did you start your RR Rental business?
No. Life interrupted me
Where do I get them for 22k can’t find anything less than 55k
That price was pre covid. It was from forest River.
@@thetentguy bummer doubled now don’t see why
Where do you reccomend to purchase them from?
We bought ours from Forest River but hear that Lang Specialty trailers is the best.
@@thetentguy ok Great. Thanks again. I appreciate all your videos.
Where did you buy this trailer?
This one is forest River. Now buy from Lang specialty trailers
Where can I buy one?
Lang specialty trailers.
What about graffiti? Thanks
It’s typically on private property in back yards. Not an issue. Otherwise, customer is going to pay for the cleaning.
What would you charge someone if they only wanted it for a day?
The same. All our prices are for the day they need it. We just deliver before the event and pick up sometime after to make it easier on us and them. If a place has same day in/out requirements we actually add $50-$100 more because of the inconvenience. Having people not able to do other jobs during that time or possibly having to wait around.
Would hiring an attendant be best? They get tips and hired by the hour? They lock up...?
You can. We never have but I know some who offer it.
@@thetentguywhere are your training links please?
how does the water pressure work?
Pumps.
@@thetentguy are the pumps Loud and constantly running on a generator?
Can be plugged into any outlet. Not loud.
@@thetentguy as far as dumping the waste at a camp site, don't you need a hazardous material certification to haul toxic human waste?
Not in NY, not for this. Probably if you’re a septic company. Is most likely different in other states.
When you say you make $1000, does that mean you drop it for an entire weekend or just for a 1 day event?
We drip it off for the weekend but it’s for a one day event. The customer died mot need to be worried all morning in the day of their event if it’s coming or not so we deliver 1-2 days ahead. Makes everything easier. They can only use it during their event otherwise they will run out of water and we will charge them a bunch to come out and empty the waste and refill the fresh.
