Honeywagon
A honeywagon is a specialized vehicle used primarily in the film and television industry to provide portable sanitation and dressing room facilities for cast and crew on location. The term "honeywagon" is believed to have originated from the euphemistic reference to "honey" as a polite term for human waste.
Description[edit | edit source]
A honeywagon is typically a large trailer that is divided into several sections, each serving a different purpose. The most common sections include:
- Restroom Facilities: These are portable toilets that are essential for maintaining hygiene on set, especially in remote locations where permanent facilities are unavailable.
- Dressing Rooms: These are small, private areas where actors can change costumes and prepare for their scenes. They are often equipped with mirrors, lighting, and seating.
- Showers: Some honeywagons include shower facilities, which are particularly useful for long shoots or in hot climates.
- Production Offices: Larger honeywagons may have office space for production staff to conduct meetings, manage schedules, and handle logistics.
Usage[edit | edit source]
Honeywagons are an integral part of location shoots, providing essential services that support the comfort and efficiency of the cast and crew. They are usually towed to the location by a truck and set up near the filming area. The presence of a honeywagon allows for extended shooting periods without the need to return to a base camp or studio for basic amenities.
Maintenance[edit | edit source]
The maintenance of a honeywagon is crucial to ensure hygiene and functionality. Regular cleaning and servicing are required, especially for the restroom facilities. Waste tanks must be emptied and sanitized frequently to prevent odors and health hazards.
History[edit | edit source]
The concept of the honeywagon has evolved over time, with early versions being simple portable toilets. As the film industry grew and the demand for on-location shoots increased, honeywagons became more sophisticated, incorporating additional amenities to meet the needs of larger productions.
