Sometimes a special event, construction site or discriminating wedding planner requires more than an entry-level restroom trailer. But they might not have the budget for that luxury unit. That’s where a mid-line model can provide a good fit.
Certainly no one knows your market better than you. That’s why we asked the top manufacturers to provide us with a simple but inclusive list of facts that can help with your choice. You might recall we did the same last year with entry-level models. The feature proved so popular that we had to bring it back again — this time featuring the mid-level line.
From top to bottom — inside and out — we list materials, construction specs, fixtures, warranties, brakes and optional trailer offerings in an easy-to-read, side-by-side chart.
If you want to look beyond the head-to-head spec sheet comparisons, contact the manufacturers for more information.
