Oh we have a Don's John on a trailer too - witness Crapper 407 (pulled by UT422):
The Fairfax unit is in no way a canteen - we have 4 of those, volunteer run (402, 408, 417 and 422). There is only a water jug on RH413 - it's gone through several versions of what it should have on it but I think we've gotten it settled now. One of the biggest flaws with it is, it's one of a kind and goes on all greater alarms. Even if I'm in the station and not cross staffing something and can jump as soon as it's hit out (or more to the fact we hear the original box and can just tell and start getting ready) odds are I'm not getting there until the 30 minute timer...which even with a majority of our 2nd alarms the bulk of the work is done and they've already done rehab in a front yard or a medic unit and don't want to transfer to the beast...if I can get the beast close enough to be useful.
Like I said, not sure I'd have bought it the way it is, but we'll use it now that we have it.

FDNY has a couple called RAC units, RAC stands for recuperation and care. Not a sexy as Fairfax's Unit. LAFD has one (at least one, maybe more at this point) with a bathroom in the back. I know of a couple here in NJ that are trailers. Here in NJ were have a couple that are on special operations vehicles but not specfic for rehab. We also have several buses with rehab as part of their multi mission. North Hudson has (or used to have) and retired NJ Transit bus that was used to provide rehab. Phoenix has several rehab vehicles aground. I remember seeing a posta potty mounted to a flat bed trailer, Prince William County, VA I think.
