Weekend getaways aren’t what they used to be. Today’s discriminating, “want-it-now” customers might choose to “rough it,” but given the choice, they still prefer a hot shower at a remote music festival or flush toilets at a major sporting event to three days of grime.
Meeting those needs are today’s specialty trailer manufacturers, whose latest offerings include the warming glow of a fully heating electric fireplace on a chilly summer night.
Family-friendly portable locker rooms and self-contained restrooms are only a few of the latest innovations of the ever-expanding specialty trailer market. Whether it’s providing that “at-home” feel to a youth sporting event or delivering “no-wait” restrooms and running water to a major marathon, today’s trailer packages can leave some amateur athletes feeling like pampered pros. With built-in “wow appeal,” these trailers have the ability to turn any event into something special.
