Story City, Iowa Remote Man Camp Trailer Rentals: Sleepers and Showers
Crews working in Story City rent our remote workforce housing: bunk bed sleeper trailers and 20 ft accommodation units with shared or private rooms. As Life Support Service, we pair the housing with shower trailers, shower-restroom combination trailers, standalone restroom trailers, laundry trailers, mobile kitchen trailers, dishwashing trailers, and emergency refrigeration for the day a walk-in cooler fails. Camps support planned work, like energy, mining, and construction projects or seasonal staff housing, and emergencies, like wildfire, flood, and industrial cleanup response. Choose a weekly rental for a short job or a monthly lease for a season of work. Our customers are contractors, industrial and mining operations, utilities, agencies, correctional facilities, and resorts. Our team schedules delivery and setup around your site access and utilities. Send your dates to check availability and get a quote.

Job sites around Story CityGeneral guidance

Renovation closuresGeneral guidance
A hotel or care home between Randall and Roland that closes guest bathrooms for a remodel still has guests to serve.
Book the trailer for the demolition date, and add a ramp if staff or guests need the accessible stall.
Access in an emergencyGeneral guidance
We have no published route from a disaster staging area to Story City's emergency-management hub to cite, so we don't show one.
During a declared emergency, follow the Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management for road and access orders. Our own delivery to Story City is planned with you and quoted by distance from Ames, IA, about 10 straight-line miles to the south.
If roads to your site are restricted, tell us the open approach your site contact can confirm.

Questions
Questions we hear from Story City
Q1Do you rent to homeowners?
No. We rent to commercial, institutional, and industrial sites only: contractors, operators, agencies, and facilities.
Q2What utilities does a camp need?
Power for every unit, plus fresh water and wastewater handling for showers, restrooms, laundry, and kitchens. Where the site has no hookups, ask about water tanks and generator power in your quote.
Q3What rooms come in a sleeper trailer?
Our 20 ft units come as shared labor rooms with bunk beds, contractor rooms, private VIP rooms, and one- and two-bedroom sleeper containers. The exact bed layout is confirmed with your quote.
Q4How do I size a remote crew camp?
OSHA's temporary labor camp rule (29 CFR 1910.142) is a useful baseline: at least 50 square feet of sleeping floor space per occupant, one shower head for every 10 persons, and one laundry tray or tub for every 30. Tell us the headcount and we size beds, showers, and laundry together.
Guides
Planning guides
- Sizing a Remote Workforce Housing Camp: OSHA 1910.142 OSHA's temporary labor camp standard turned into a rental order: square feet per bed, bunk spacing, shower heads, toilets, and laundry tubs per person. It is written for energy, mining, and construction contractors and for agencies planning a remote man camp, so the order for bunk bed sleeper trailers, shower trailers, and laundry trailers matches the headcount before the first shift arrives.
- Colorado Workforce Housing Trailer Rental Guide What changes when a remote crew camp goes in at Colorado elevations: cold nights, winter access over passes, and small towns where one project can fill every room. It walks through bunk bed sleeper trailers, shower and laundry trailers, and mobile kitchens for Western Slope energy work, high-country mining, ski-town seasonal staff, and eastern plains projects, with the National Weather Service offices that cover each part of the state.
- Emergency Workforce Housing After a Wildfire or Flood A checklist for agencies, utilities, and contractors who need to house responders and recovery crews after a wildfire or flood. It covers the headcount, the site, utilities, and the order of trailers for a temporary camp of bunk bed sleepers, shower trailers, laundry, and kitchens, with Ready.gov and OSHA guidance on working safely through response and recovery.
