Honeywagon

A "Honeywagon" is the term given to a mobile toilet unit used in the film and television industry. The legend behind the name 'Honeywagon' is thought to relate to the 'honey-coloured' liquid that comes out of it when emptying the holding tanks.

Many are the size of a semi trailer. Some honeywagons will be just two large restrooms. Others will be a combination of variously sized rooms for specific purposes. These rooms can be private dressing rooms assigned to a single person, larger rooms configured for the wardrobe, or makeup departments, small individual restrooms for the crew to share, and multiple user or individual shower rooms for bathing.

Campground and Marina Applications

The honey wagon also serves as a sanitation system at campgrounds and marinas. The operator connects a hose to the discharge outlet on the RV or boat and pumps waste into the tank. When the tank is full, the operator should empty the tank at an approved dump station.
