Etna, California Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Etna began in 1853 as a Gold Rush camp called Rough and Ready, took its present name in 1874 after a flour mill, and incorporated in 1878. It sits in Scott Valley at the foot of the Marble Mountain Wilderness, where ranching supports the valley. An Orthodox monastery, convent, seminary and theological library are among its institutions.
We rent mobile kitchen trailers, dishwashing trailers, and emergency refrigeration trailers as short-term rentals or long-term leases. Call any hour or request availability and a quote for your Etna site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Etna
Mild winters, lows near 32°F
January lows near 32°F rarely threaten water lines, so winter rentals are straightforward. Cold storage still needs a steady power supply.
July highs near 94°F
Warm summers, with highs near 94°F, push refrigeration harder and make a hot cooking line uncomfortable. We plan ventilation and ask where the trailer can sit in shade.
Delivery from Sacramento
Etna is roughly 210 miles from Sacramento, within regional reach. The final road conditions and delivery window are confirmed with you before anything ships.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Etna
Wilderness trips and outfitters
Etna sits at the foot of the Marble Mountain Wilderness, a base for hikers, packers and field crews. Trail groups and outfitters that need a base kitchen, showers and restrooms for a few weeks can set up a trailer on a lot, since restaurants are limited.
Ranching and hay seasons
Scott Valley supports cattle ranching, and hay and field work bring crews to the valley in warm months. Ranch operations needing to feed workers on site can use a kitchen and dishwashing trailer rather than shuttling crews long distances for meals.
Flood and storm interruptions
The town's original flour mill, built in 1854, was destroyed by a flood in the winter of 1861 to 1862. Floods and storm outages can interrupt kitchens and coolers in any valley town, and a refrigeration trailer protects stock while repairs are made.
- Base kitchens for wilderness trail groups
- Crew meals during ranch and hay seasons
- Refrigeration backup after storm outages
Delivery from our Sacramento warehouse to Etna
We keep equipment in Sacramento, the California capital, and plan every delivery from there. Etna is about 210 miles from the warehouse as the crow flies; the actual road route, timing, and any permits are confirmed when we quote.
Getting a trailer to Etna
Etna is in Scott Valley in Siskiyou County, reached by mountain and valley highways well north of the warehouse. We have not verified a route from Sacramento. Check Caltrans for winter closures on mountain roads and confirm the final approach and staging with the city.
If your project spans more than one site, Fort Jones, about 11 miles from Etna, and Yreka, about 23 miles, can be planned on the same delivery, as can Montague at 26 miles.
We confirm the exact route and any seasonal limits for your address at quote.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
Scott Valley has a record of winter flooding, including the 1861 to 1862 flood that destroyed the first mill, and storms can interrupt power and roads. When a school, care or ranch kitchen loses refrigeration, 24/7 emergency deployment can bring cooking or cold storage.

How a rental works
Rentals run by the month, with short-term and long-term options. Delivery, setup, and pickup are coordinated for your site. An inquiry does not reserve equipment; a person confirms availability, delivery time, and terms with you. Hours: open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Setup usually takes about five hours for kitchens and dishwashing trailers and about one hour for refrigeration units, and an inquiry is the first step, not a reservation.

Frequently asked questions
How should equipment be prepared for valley winters?
Winters can be cold and snowy, so ask about freeze protection for water lines, heated hoses and a dependable power or fuel supply. Check with the county health department about what is expected for a temporary kitchen in cold conditions.
Can a trailer be placed near a wilderness trailhead?
Trailheads and public land have their own rules, so ask the land agency about permits and the county about temporary uses on private land. A private lot with level ground, turning room and utility access is usually simpler.
How fast can a trailer get to Etna if our kitchen is down?
Call (888) 385-5513 at any hour and we begin planning on that call. Trailers leave from our Sacramento warehouse, and the delivery time to Etna depends on the equipment and the road, which we confirm in your quote.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
Not by itself. We reply with availability, timing, and terms first, and equipment is reserved only after you agree to them.
