Landmarks and organizations
New Town is in Mountrail County on the Fort Berthold Reservation, and the Three Affiliated Tribes run the Elbowoods Memorial Health Center and the rural water system. New Town Public School District 1 runs the schools, and the city runs its streets and water tower. We are not claiming any of these organizations as customers. They are the kinds of owners who rent a restroom trailer or shower trailer when a building is closed for work, a crew has no facilities or a storm response needs people on site. If you manage a site for one of them or for a contractor, send us the dates and headcount, and we will recommend a luxury combination trailer, a restroom trailer or an ADA combination trailer. We confirm availability and delivery in your quote, and we do not promise a response time. Nearby towns such as Ross and Plaza are quoted the same way. The people who manage these places can tell you where a trailer may sit, who must approve it and which gates or locks apply. Ask early, because permission is often the slowest step in a temporary setup.
Directions and site logistics
The Four Bears Bridge carries traffic over Lake Sakakawea, and a 2016 wind event pushed a pickup with a camper into its guard rail, so wind matters for a tall trailer. Sites near Parshall, Ross and Plaza use highways and county roads that can be rough in spring. A trailer needs a firm, level approach and room to turn, so tell us the nearest paved road, any gravel road at the end, and any gate, culvert or bridge on the way. A shower trailer, restroom trailer or combination unit is easiest to place on high, well-drained ground close to the water and power connections it uses. Check current closures with the county or the Department of Transportation before you schedule a delivery. We confirm the route in your quote. Measure the gate, the turn into the site and any overhead lines before delivery, since a long trailer cannot back out of a tight lot. Mark the spot with cones or flags, and tell the driver about soft ground, ditches or buried lines, so the unit goes in once and sits level.
Climate and seasonal rental needs
Summer storms with hail and wind reach New Town and the lake, and FEMA lists Mountrail County for flooding in 2013, 2014, 2020 and 2023 and for the 2022 winter storm and flooding. Winter brings the statewide cold described on our North Dakota page, with a January average near 10.6 degrees Fahrenheit and cold snaps far below zero. A shower trailer or restroom trailer in winter needs heat, freeze protection and a plowed approach, and a summer rental should be set up with wind and hail in mind. Tell us your dates, and we will say what a combination unit needs for them. Request a quote early, because storm and repair work often needs a unit on short notice. Frozen ground and snow change how a trailer is set up, and heavy rain can soften a gravel pad that was firm last week. Plan the approach for the weather you expect, not the weather you hope for, and keep a plow or loader on call.
Planning a rental
A short checklist saves time. Say how many people will use the unit and whether they need showers, toilets or both, so we can match a shower trailer, a restroom trailer or a luxury combination trailer. Say whether anyone needs an accessible suite, because only our ADA combination trailers include one. Describe the site: ground, slope, nearest road and how close water and power are. Give the start date and how long you need the unit, because rates change by rental length. Tell us about flood risk and winter access. Tell us whether you are a contractor, a school, a public agency or an industrial site, because we rent to commercial and industrial customers only. With those answers we return a quote that shows the unit, the rate, delivery, setup and pickup. If a detail is not known yet, say so and we will ask what we need. We do not promise a response time before the quote.
