Even in a down economy, discriminating customers insist on the best portable sanitation option for backyard weddings, corporate gatherings, and VIP functions. And while some clients might be looking to smaller trailers this year, it’s still what’s inside that counts. Boasting features such as vessel sinks, touchless faucets, solid core, full-panel doors, flat screen TVs, designer cabinets and granite countertops, these VIP units will hold their own when compared to the nicest permanent facilities.
Certainly no one knows your market better than you. That’s why we asked manufacturers to provide us with a simple but inclusive list of facts that can help you choose your next upscale trailer unit. From top to bottom, we list materials, construction specs, fixtures, warranties, brakes and optional trailer offerings in an easy-to-read, side-by-side chart.
When only the best will do, these VIP trailers give your clients the red carpet experience they expect.
