Make certain that the following items have been checked and rechecked before you take your Rich Portable Restroom Trailer on the road. Take a quick inventory of all items in your portable restroom trailer to be sure they are secured
Make certain all items inside of your portable restroom trailer are secured for travel. Also be sure doors inside the trailer are closed and latched securely.
Front Hitch Jack – The front hitch jack of your portable restroom trailer should be raised as far as possible.
Stabilizer Jacks – Both the rear and front restroom trailer jacks should be raised as far as possible.
Doors and windows – Check through your portable restroom trailer to be sure that all doors and windows are closed and latched.
Pigtail – Check to be sure that the pigtail of your portable restroom trailer is connected properly to the tow vehicle’s electrical plug in.
Lights – The following lights should be tested on both your portable restroom trailer and the tow vehicle: for your portable restroom trailer: brake lights, warning lights, flashers, clearance lights, taillights and head lights.
Hitch Coupler/Pin box- Inspect the hitch coupler or pin box on your portable restroom trailer to be sure they are secured.
Power Cord – The 110 volt shoreline cords on your portable restroom trailer must be unplugged from the external source and placed in its compartment with the storage hatch of your portable restroom trailer fastened shut.
Water Hoses and Shore Line Cords on your portable restroom trailer must be disconnected and all hose and pipe caps should be secured.
Tires – The proper air pressure for the tires on your portable restroom trailer is printed on the sidewall of the tire. Air pressure should always be checked when portable restroom trailer tires are cold in order to get the most accurate reading.
Before each trip check the tires of your portable restroom trailer for uneven wear, road damage, foreign objects or excessive peeling or bulging. Heat generated by surface friction will increase the tire’s air pressure approximately six to nine psi, so do not bleed air out of a hot tire since you run the risk of leaving your portable restroom trailer tires low on air pressure.
Note: In the event that your Rich Specialty Portable Restroom Trailer requires a tire change, turn on the tow vehicle’s flashers and set up flares or warning lights. Put a chock under the opposite tire and unhitch the portable restroom trailer from the tow vehicle. Place scissors-type or hydraulic jack on a block of wood directly under the portable restroom trailer frame close to the tire you intend to change. DO NOT use a bumper jack on your portable restroom trailer since it could damage the sidewalls or floor board.
Raise the jack until the tire clears the ground, then remove the lug nuts. Pull the tire off your portable restroom trailer and put the spare tire on the hub. Replace and tighten the lug nuts. Lower the jack until the tire just touches the ground. The lug nuts on your portable restroom trailer should be inspected and retightened after 10, 25, and 50 miles or whenever a wheel has been reinstalled. It is a good practice to survey lug nuts each time you take your portable restroom trailer out to a venue.
