Warewashing is easy to overlook until the dish room is the thing that is down. Dishwashing trailers like the 30ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer and the 22 to 26ft Low-Temp Dishwashing Trailer can be rented with a kitchen or on their own for Magdalena sites. Los Lunas, 54 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.

Cooler or freezer down? Emergency refrigeration rental for Magdalena is available on a short-term basis: ask for the 20ft Cooler Trailer, 32°F or a different temperature setting when you call.

Sites near Elephant Butte and Albuquerque start from this same list, then adjust for their own pad, power and permits.

• Health review: ask Socorro County environmental health or the local authority what a temporary kitchen needs to be approved.
• Drainage: decide where wastewater goes, whether a sewer connection, a tank or scheduled pump-out.
• Placement: pick a level spot with turning room, and keep fire lanes and entrances clear.

See the site planning guides for power, water, wastewater and placement detail.
