The Lavatory NorCal rents the ADA plus 2 shower trailer, a three-room hot-water unit with a ramp entry, for shelters, clinics, camps, job sites, events and more across Northern California. Two standard private shower rooms sit on one side. The third room is a roll-in accessible shower reached by its own ramp and platform, so a wheelchair user never needs a step. We are the #1 accessible shower trailer company in the region and part of the largest fleet of bathroom and shower trailers in the West, with over 250 units. Call (209) 202-3741 day or night. We run 24/7 immediate dispatch, and for urgent needs we can often be there within 1 to 2 hours.

“Great for any occasion. Really clean, and I love that it is accessible. Great for wheelchairs, with plenty of room. We had it at our site in Walnut Creek and nobody had to wait or ask for help getting in.”
“I was really impressed with the accessible rental. Everything was clean and well kept, and it made attending a large outdoor event in Sacramento so much easier and more comfortable. I truly appreciated it.”
Why The Lavatory NorCal Is the Top Name in Accessible Shower Trailer Rentals
Strictly luxury. Never plastic. Every unit in our fleet is a commercial-grade trailer with real fixtures, and this one is built to meet federal and California accessibility rules, with a ramp that folds out from the trailer itself instead of a pile of loose plywood. We are a direct fleet, not a reseller, so we own our trailers and deliver them with our own trucks and drivers. You will never get a broker or a surprise subcontractor on delivery day. Our family brings 30+ years of rental experience, our fleet is kept young, and each unit passes a 120-point inspection before it ships. Google, Tesla, BMW, Mercedes and Target have rented from our network, and so have the Golden State Warriors. We are licensed and insured, rated A+ by the BBB, and backed by hundreds of five-star reviews.
We recommend one ADA plus 2 unit for temporary sites of about 50 people or fewer, depending on when they shower. Call with your date, your address and your head count, and we will quote it on the spot. You can also send the quote form, and we will call you back fast with dates and delivery times.

How the Plus 2 Shower Trailer Layout Works
Think of it as two trailers in one. The two standard shower rooms open on the long side, each with its own door, short staircase and railing, and anyone who can manage a few steps uses those. The accessible room opens at the end of the trailer onto a wide platform with railings. From there the ramp runs down to the ground at a gentle grade, so a person in a wheelchair, on a walker or with a caregiver beside them can roll straight in. Because the ramp is part of the trailer and folds back for travel, setup is fast, and the footprint stays smaller than a trailer with a separate ramp kit.
All three rooms are unisex and lock from inside. That matters at shelters and clinics, where a parent may need to help a child or an aide may need to help an adult, and nobody wants to sort people by a sign on the door. Want to know whether this layout fits your building entrance or parking lot? Call us at (209) 202-3741 or request a quote, and our dispatch team will explain where the ramp should face and which power option makes the most sense for your particular location.

Inside the Roll-In Accessible Shower Room
The accessible room is wide open. The shower has a low roll-in threshold instead of a tall curb, so a shower chair or a wheelchair can roll right up to the water. A fold-down bench, a handheld shower wand on a slide bar and grab bars give a seated user full control. The sink hangs on the wall with open space below it, so knees and feet fit underneath, and the mirror sits low enough to use from a seat. We stock towels on request, and the heat and AC keep the room comfortable for someone who may take longer to dry and dress, whether that is on a cold January night at a shelter in Chico or on a July afternoon in Fairfield.
The two standard rooms each have a fiberglass shower with a curtain, a stainless sink, a mirror, hooks and a shelf. Same hot water. Same privacy. For the details behind the design, the U.S. Access Board publishes the 2010 ADA Standards, and section 608 covers shower compartments, seats and controls.
Where Our Ramp-Entry Shower Trailers Go in Northern California
Disasters come first on the list. When fire or flood forces a neighborhood out, counties open shelters in gyms, churches and fairgrounds, from the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa to the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds in Chico, and those shelters have to serve older residents and people with disabilities along with everyone else. A single standard shower trailer leaves those people out. The ADA plus 2 covers them and still gives two more rooms to the rest of the shelter.
Health care is next. Hospitals, skilled nursing buildings and outpatient clinics in San Jose, Walnut Creek and Sacramento sometimes close shower rooms for plumbing work or a remodel, and the residents still need a safe place to bathe. Camps for kids and adults with disabilities in the Santa Cruz Mountains and the Sierra foothills use it for a summer session. Outreach programs book it so every guest on shower day gets a turn, and film crews in San Francisco and Oakland bring one so cast and staff with mobility needs are covered on location.
Construction and industry use it too. Large job sites and plants across the Bay Area often need at least one accessible room on site, and it pairs well with a bigger shower unit at remote work camps.
Typical Accessible Mobile Shower Setups Around NorCal
These are common patterns from years of deliveries in the region, not a single dated job. Each site adds its own wrinkle.
An evacuation shelter at a county fairground
A wildfire forces several thousand people out of the hills above Santa Rosa, and the county opens a shelter in a fairground exhibit hall. We set the ADA plus 2 on the asphalt next to the hall door, run a short power cord from a building panel and a hose from a spigot, and the accessible room stays booked from early morning to late at night. The shelter manager said it was the first thing people asked about after a cot.
A care home remodel in the South Bay
A residential care building in San Jose tears out its bathing rooms for three weeks. The trailer goes in the side lot, the ramp faces the back door, and aides bring residents out one at a time on a set schedule. We pump and refill twice a week. Residents keep their routine. That was the whole point.
A summer session at a mountain camp
A nonprofit camp near Lake Tahoe runs a week for campers who use wheelchairs. The old bathhouse has steps at every door, so we place the trailer on a packed gravel pad near the cabins, and counselors use the two standard rooms while campers use the roll-in room.
When a shelter or a big event needs more than showers, our ADA accessible trailer rentals across Northern California include accessible bathroom units too, and our 24/7 emergency shower and restroom trailers for NorCal shelters page explains how we stage several units at once.
Ramp Space, Power and Water for a Plus 2 Shower Unit
Plan on a level spot about 25 feet long and 14 feet wide with the ramp out, then add a firm, smooth path from the parking lot or the building door to the bottom of the ramp. Grass is fine for the trailer itself, though wet grass or loose gravel is hard work for a wheelchair, so a paved lot or a sidewalk edge is the best place for the ramp to land. Tell us where people will come from, and we will face the ramp that way.
For power, the trailer needs two dedicated 120 volt, 20 amp circuits within 100 feet. Two ordinary outdoor outlets on separate breakers usually work. If there are none, we bring a quiet generator. The 210 gallon fresh tank gives a bit over two hours of total shower time at 1.5 gallons a minute, so a hose hookup is smart for any busy site, and the 300 gallon waste tank is pumped on our service visits. California also has its own accessibility rules on top of federal law, and the Division of the State Architect oversees them for schools and public buildings.

What Renters Say About Our Accessible Shower Trailers
“These are not your typical portable units. They are elegant, with plenty of space, and you would be surprised how comfortable and accessible they are. The customer service was amazing and quick to answer every call.”
“The rental rooms were roomy and well designed, with modern fixtures and good materials. The cleaning was outstanding all through our project at a school district site in Hayward, and you could tell the staff took pride in their work.”
“They always answer my calls by the third ring. If they do not have the equipment I need, they tell me who does. I have used them for several events, and one thing you can count on is that they show up.”
“This is our second year renting from The Lavatory NorCal. Having clean, accessible facilities at our event in Napa was badly needed and well received last year, and we could not do without it this year.”
“We used The Lavatory NorCal for a long-term rental at our facility in Fremont, and they beat every expectation. From the first call to the last day of service, the whole team was professional and reliable.”

Plus 2 Shower Trailer Rental FAQ
Can a wheelchair user get in without help?
Yes. The ramp and platform lead straight into the accessible room. The door is wide, and the shower has a low roll-in threshold. Many users need no help at all, and there is room for a caregiver if they do.
Do the two standard rooms have stairs?
Yes. Each standard room has its own short set of steps with a railing. Only the accessible room uses the ramp.
How many people can one trailer serve?
We recommend it for sites of about 50 people or fewer, depending on when they shower. For bigger groups we pair it with an 8-stall shower trailer.
Can it run without a water hookup?
For a short time, yes. The 210 gallon tank covers a light day. For steady use we connect a hose or schedule water refills on our service visits.
How quickly can you deliver to a shelter?
We run 24/7 immediate dispatch with same-day delivery, and in an emergency we can often be there within 1 to 2 hours. Call the moment the shelter opens.
Is the trailer heated for winter use?
Yes. The AC unit also heats, and the smart thermostat holds the temperature, so the rooms stay warm on cold nights in the foothills and the North Valley.
