Low elevation, about 770 feet

Ojai, California Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Ojai fills its valley calendar with festivals: the Ojai Music Festival, founded in 1947, takes place the first weekend after Memorial Day, the Ojai Wine Festival is held in early June at Lake Casitas, and the Ojai Tennis Tournament in April is the oldest west of the Mississippi. The 306-room Ojai Valley Inn opened in 1923.
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 Ojai site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Ojai
Mild winters, lows near 41°F
Winter here is mild, with typical January lows around 41°F. Freeze protection is a light-touch item, and we keep it on the checklist for the occasional cold snap.
July highs near 86°F
Ojai's July highs average about 86°F. That is a normal load for our equipment, but it is enough to expose an aging walk-in cooler, which is a common reason people call us.
A long haul from Sacramento
Expect a long delivery: roughly 310 miles straight-line from Sacramento. Tell us the date you need the kitchen running and we plan the haul, the escort needs, and the setup crew around it.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Ojai
Festival season
The Ojai Music Festival, the Wine Festival at Lake Casitas, the April tennis tournament, and Ojai Day each draw crowds in sequence. Caterers and organizers who need extra cooking lines, dishwashing, and cold holding beyond local venues can use kitchen and dishwashing trailers.
Resort and school kitchens
The valley has a 306-room resort on 220 acres and several private schools, including Besant Hill, Thacher, Villanova Preparatory, Oak Grove, and Ojai Valley School. A failed kitchen or cooler at any of these can be covered by a temporary kitchen or refrigeration trailer.
Wildfire and flood recovery
The 2017 Thomas Fire led to evacuation orders for the entire Ojai Valley, and a January 1969 flood destroyed the rail line. After fires or storms, shelters and crews need meals, showers, and sanitation that kitchen trailers and shower units can provide.

- Temporary kitchen for resorts and private schools
- Shelter kitchens and showers after wildfires
Delivery from our Sacramento warehouse to Ojai
We keep equipment in Sacramento, the California capital, and plan every delivery from there. Ojai is about 310 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 Ojai
State Route 33 is the major north-south highway through Ojai, and it also leads to Los Padres National Forest backcountry. The Thomas Fire cut Highway 33 and other routes in 2017. We did not verify the route from Sacramento, so confirm closures, grades, and turning room before dispatch.
If your project spans more than one site, Westlake Village, about 33 miles from Ojai, and Hidden Hills, about 39 miles, can be planned on the same delivery, as can Maricopa at 43 miles.
We confirm the exact route and any seasonal limits for your address at quote.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
The Thomas Fire started December 4, 2017, burned about 281,893 acres, and prompted evacuation orders for the entire Ojai Valley. A magnitude 5.1 quake struck on August 20, 2023. We are open 24/7 for emergency deployment.

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
What permits apply to a kitchen trailer at an Ojai festival?
Festival food service typically needs county health review and event approval. Contact the Ventura County environmental health office and the event organizer early to ask about temporary food facility permits, inspection, and placement for a mobile kitchen.
Should I plan for wildfire season when booking a trailer in Ojai?
Yes. Ask the local fire authority about defensible space and any restrictions at your site, keep a clear exit path for the truck, and check Highway 33 conditions before delivery. Tell us your location so we can plan access around closures.
How fast can a trailer get to Ojai 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 Ojai 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.
