The autobath is gaining more and more popularity in our country. The highlight of such a bath is its mobility, as it is performed on the basis of trucks(GAZ 66, ZIL 131, URAL, KAMAZ, as well as other vans. Taking a steam bath in nature near a river or lake is just bliss and an unforgettable feeling. A positive charge of emotions and additional health are guaranteed to you. A real offer for those who want to start their own business The steam room itself and the rest room are arranged inside the kung of the car..The temperature reaches 100 degrees in just 50 minutes.I make the decoration exclusively from linden, the stove is heated with wood,stationary water supply for 400 liters, hot and cold water with automatic supply to the shower room.Individual approach to the internal arrangement of the steam room and rest room.Reconstruction is carried out within 5-6 weeks, depending on the kung and your wishes.It is possible to select a car with a conversion for conversion.The indicated cost on the website does not include the cost car Call and I will always answer your questions.
Good day! There was an old GAZ-66 booth for all sorts of rubbish. I decided to make a steam room out of it, dismantled the old insulation (polystyrene), cut off all the rusty floors, increased the corner to 2.20 meters. to stand in full height and on the second bench you can bathe. I sheathed it with metal from the street and everything stood up because I don’t know the procedure for warming and how to actually insulate. Tell me please, if I put an isover (layers?) on the metal, after 8mm plywood (priming?) I attach it to the self-tapping screws with a drill and a press washer directly to the metal, after which I will sheathe A-03 penofol one-sided, and after all the euro, fasten the vagonkou through penofol to plywood with self-tapping screws (). All of the material listed is available to me. Please correct me in the wind, if suddenly I want to do something wrong. The bath is planned to be used in the summer.
Sincerely, Alexander, Magadan.
Hello, Alexander from "sunny" Magadan!
Think in the right direction, the desire to build a small bathhouse on the basis of the existing old and somewhat altered "GAZon" booth is quite natural. Moreover, in addition there are also materials.
Over the past year, a couple of times I came across reports in the media about mobile baths made according to the same scheme as you planned. As for stationary similar baths, they are sometimes found in our vast expanses. They are made, of course, not from big money, but because of the presence of retired automotive junk.
Most often they use army kungs, tepushki avarieks and vans-bread trucks.
The thickness of the insulation layer for such baths is 50 or 100 millimeters. And it depends not so much on how effectively the heat will be kept (for the summer season, both options are quite suitable), but on the design features of the existing booth.
That is, if the width of the frame racks from a metal profile is about 50 millimeters, then the isover-type insulation is placed in one 50-mm layer. It will completely fill the space between the outer and inner walls. Well, if the width of the racks is 100 millimeters, then the isover, as a rule, is already laid in two layers of 50, which in total will be the required 100 millimeters.
Shabashniki, as a rule, do not follow these recommendations. Instead, they fasten a thermal film on the inner metal side of the wall (it can be done in any way, including glue). The outer side is smooth, the film is placed against the metal, and the rough side is placed against the insulation. One roll of film is enough, their area reaches almost 70 square meters, and it costs from one and a half to two thousand rubles. Although yours is probably more expensive.
Then, after a while, the fasteners may move away, but the film will still be pressed against the metal by the insulation and will not go anywhere.
And sometimes the film is not laid at all, anyway, such a bath is enough for at least a dozen years of operation, or even more.
Plywood (there is no need to transfer soil to it, extra fumes and not entirely useful), of course, you can use it in your design, but it is much more preferable to use ordinary edged or even unedged boards without a wane.
All the same, for baths, due to its instability to high temperatures, after a short time it will begin to delaminate. With all the ensuing negatives.
Fastening with self-tapping screws with press washers is quite a normal option, if the thickness of the metal of the racks allows. If it does not work out, then pre-drill holes in the attachment points of a slightly smaller diameter than the diameter of the self-tapping screws.
And only then the screws are wrapped.
Then everything can be done according to your option - sheathe it with penofol, or you can just use foil. Then sheathe with clapboard. Although class C is not the best option, if there are a large number of knots, and there are usually plenty of them in such a low-grade lining, they can fly out after some time from temperature changes.
The lining is often fixed with ordinary galvanized nails without hats. 30-40 mm long. Although, if you still stop at the option of plywood, and not boards, with very dense plywood, thin nails can bend when hammered.
Self-tapping screws used for fastening the lining must be sunk into the wood, otherwise their heads will burn the body at high temperatures, especially in those places that are in the zone of intense contact.
Since the lining is very thin, the self-tapping screws, when tapped (a term meaning that the surface of the screw will be lower than the surface of the lining) can split the lining. But give it a try and see if everything works out fine.
Before sheathing the insides of the steam room with clapboard, it must be dried very well. Very often in the steam rooms there is such a thing - after a while, sometimes for a long time, the lining dries up and cracks appear. It is not fatal, although foil or penofol will appear from behind the lining, they will work functionally. Only the aesthetic appearance will be violated. I don’t say which side the penofol is placed to the lining, otherwise you will be offended.
Since you do not touch upon the question of how your building will be heated by a stove or electric heaters, we will keep silent about them. The only thing I would like to remind you is to make a small window-window in the wall. It will come in handy later, take my word for it without explanation.
So go ahead, build a sauna or steam room from what you have.
Other questions on the arrangement of the Russian bath.
Salesman: Alexei
Ready business payback exactly half a year, perhaps faster if you do not bend the price! Sauna on wheels based on GAZ-66 or Zil 131 or some other car, steam room with a wood-burning stove, 55l capacity. under the mountains water, there is a tank on the exhaust pipe. 250l. under the hall water, the tank is hidden under the benches, designed for 6 people, people can be transported directly in the rest room, it is equipped for this and according to those passports it is possible. Also a folding table. The bath heats up in 30-40 minutes, (45-110) degrees. Raw steam is a Russian bath, not a sauna, so 80 degrees is for strong ones, depending on who needs what temperature. The drain in the steam room is made right on the street, if there is a drain into the canal nearby, then we get up there, if not, we substitute a bucket, you don’t need to “steam” in nature on this occasion, drain soft leather seats directly to the ground, it’s very comfortable in the bathhouse. There is an applied staircase from the street, with comfortable steps. The amount of firewood, respectively, is 3 kg at a time.
An ax, a fire extinguisher, a poker, wheel wrenches, a jack - everything is there.
All metal parts (exhaust - water tank) are made of stainless steel.
The glass in the sauna windows is tempered.
Is the light inside separate? full - 12 volts.
Under the benches in the room there are capacious closed cavities 130, 100 cm long.
Nothing extra.
This machine is sold, I make baths on any chassis from any material and different layouts, every detail is negotiated. Interested people will be happy to answer all questions. I still have a photo, I can send it to your mail We will make baths with different layouts on any chassis
Price: RUB 480,000
What could be better than relaxing with friends on a fishing trip and a sauna right on the river bank? Recently, this seemed still quite impossible, but in recent times in Russia, a mobile bath and a sauna on wheels are already becoming common.
You can find mobile steam rooms on wheels in many major cities, but the price per hour in them is 800-1000 rubles per hour. In this article, we will tell you how you can make a mobile steam room that can be used both at home and on a hike, or rented out.
Design
Choose a base for construction, draw a drawing and calculate the load on the wheels, the total weight and power of the stove. Another important factor The one worth considering is the center of gravity. It should not be that all the weight is concentrated on one side, otherwise it will be easy for the car to roll over.
We convert a car booth into a bathhouse
As a basis for a car mobile bath even old machines can be used. The most popular are Soviet army vehicles with kung - GAZ 66 or ZIL 131, they have high cross-country ability, but high fuel consumption. Also, mobile saunas are made on the basis of conventional trailers for cars.
The kung has a large area, so its capacity can reach up to 6 people. Additional insulation will allow you to use it all year round. The photo shows examples of a mobile, dressing room, dressing room, sunbed, folding table and bench.
For an ordinary wood-burning stove, a baby. If you order this option from the masters, then turnkey conversion will cost you at least 140 thousand rubles.
In terms of performance, mobile baths built on the basis of GAZ 66 will not differ much from the classic types: on average, the volume of water transported is 700 liters, and there is enough firewood for the whole day of heating. This is enough for 15-20 people to rest, so many people began to open a similar business.
Furnace installation
For convenience and saving space, the firebox goes outside.
The surface around the oven inside and outside must be finished with a non-flammable heat-resistant material.
Advice!
In order not to accidentally fall out while riding, they can be sewn into beads with wire in advance.
Since their weight can reach 300 kg, to reduce the load, they can be completely removed while driving in another car.
External decoration of the bath
- To get beautiful appearance, on the outside of the wall, you can trim the block house.
- It is better not to make windows, as a lot of heat will be lost through them. If you decide to make windows, try to reduce their area and use 3-layer double-glazed windows with glass at least 6 mm thick.
- The door must open outward.
- To save space, the woodcutter and water tanks are mounted outside in boxes under the bottom of the kung.
Interior decoration
Inside, exactly the same wall insulation is done as in a conventional sauna.
Instructions for interior wall decoration:
- A crate of bars impregnated with an antiseptic every 60 cm is attached to the walls. In kungs, they are attached directly to the walls, and in trailers, a metal welded frame is preliminarily made and sheathed with wood.
- The first layer of waterproofing is attached. To do this, you can use a vapor barrier membrane, such as Isospan. On the one hand, it will not allow moisture to pass through, and on the other hand, it removes steam, preventing it from accumulating inside.
- Then, mineral wool insulation is placed tightly to each other in the cells of the frame. Additionally, it is recommended to attach it with dowels-umbrellas to the walls.
- From above, the insulation is covered with the same vapor barrier. Heat-reflecting aluminum foil can also be used instead. Insulation joints must be glued with aluminum tape.
- To maintain the ventilation gap under the skin, an additional counter-lattice 2-3 cm thick is screwed onto the bars.
- Then the frame is sheathed with clapboard or block house.
- Particular attention should be paid to fixing furniture and stoves so that they are securely fixed during movement.
- To save space, you can use folding shelves, a folding table and benches.
- Lighting is done from car battery 12 volts, or a separate 220 volt generator is used.
Note!
For lighting, you need to use moisture and heat-protective lamps, and the wiring must be heat-resistant.
Ordinary wires cannot withstand temperatures above 50 degrees, and in a bathhouse it can exceed 150 degrees in some areas.
Conclusion
The right insulation pie will take you 15-20 cm from each wall. This is the only way you can warm up the temperature in the bath to 80-90 degrees in just an hour. At the same time, you can start heating the stove on the go, so that it has time to warm up the bath before arrival. Having made such a mobile sauna with your own hands, you can steam right on the lake, in a deep forest or even in the city center.
The video in this article will show you how a sauna on wheels was made from an ordinary PAZ.
The thought of how useful a bath on wheels would be is visited by everyone who has to work for weeks away from the simplest benefits of civilization. The opportunity to take a steam bath and wash off fatigue would be very useful in conditions of outdoor activities, fishing, hunting. In the latter case, an exit bath is considered almost an indispensable element of hunting equipment.
Autobahn on wheels: advantages
Folk wisdom claims that any material is suitable for making a steam room, from a canvas awning of a tent to a wooden booth of an old refrigerator. The main thing is to properly and safely equip a stove with a heater and make high-quality thermal insulation of the room. These are all temporary options. For a good autobahn on wheels, they are not very suitable, and are almost never used even by fans of relaxation in the steam room.
Modern mobile baths on wheels in terms of comfort differ little from stationary options. Of the shortcomings, only a limited amount of space for the washing department can be cited; it is most often sacrificed in favor of the steam room and dressing room. In all other respects, the autobahn soars and heals no worse than a hospital.
There can be several reasons for building or buying a mobile sauna on wheels:
Advice! Possibility to relax and take a steam bath in the sauna on the trailer in the evening, after construction works during the day under the summer sun solves half of everyday problems.
Especially if there is nothing on the site but a pit and a water well, and a team of builders hired to work in an open field will always require acceptable living conditions. For winter or at the end of the season, the sauna trailer can be towed to the parking lot to the house or to the garage, and the autobahn with steam room can be used even in urban areas.
Exit bath on wheels: types
Of course, there are a lot of options for a bath in a car or on a trailer, and they are all very different. There are options for industrial-made mobile steam rooms.
In addition to an expensive factory assembly, you can buy a bath on a GAZ 66 handicraft alteration small firms. There are many models of mobile steam rooms based on residential trailers, kungs, buses, old repair shops and single-axle trailers simply converted into a bathhouse. passenger car. Autobahn may differ in price and give completely different level comfort of bath procedures.
Bath on a trailer
For ordinary user the best choice there will be an autobahn on a two-axle carriage. In the simplest version, this can be a variant of a mobile bath - a trailer on wheels with a two-axle configuration. It is also called trailer for low ground clearance and good stability. The autobahn on a trailer rarely exceeds 2.5-2.8 m in length and 180 cm in width.
The maximum weight does not exceed 700 kg. In the design of the trailer bath, metal siding is used under a beam or log. It is impossible to leave OSB or plywood uncovered from the wind; when moving, the oncoming wind flow, and even with rain, very quickly makes the wooden surface unusable.
The advantages of a bath on a trailer include:
- Compactness, a car with a mobile steam room will be able to drive on any tracks and roads, without restrictions;
- Permits are not needed to re-equip the carriage for a bathhouse - a trailer, the main thing is that the axle load and external dimensions do not go beyond the permitted limits;
- Small price and ability to build mobile bath with your own hands. The average estimate for the conversion of a trailer is 40% of the construction of a stationary version of the steam room.
Note! For a mobile steam room, it is recommended to use two-axle trailers, since on one pair of wheels the mobile autobahn is unstable, even if it is attached to the tow bar of a car.
The most luxurious baths are made on the basis of a trailer or semi-trailer for a truck tractor. In fact, this is an ordinary autobahn installed on a car platform. The price of a 3.4x8 m bath on a three-axle trailer is 8-9 thousand dollars.
The best mobile baths are made from full-size travel trailers and vans. A simple used Hobby Prestige-type trailer will cost 2-2.5 thousand dollars. Another 300-400 dollars for the equipment of the steam room and installation of the stove, and the mobile autobahn will be able to serve for another twenty years.
Bath on the bus
Of course new house on wheels costs twice as much as any bath. For example, a good Mc Louis 2000 manufactured by Fiat Ducato is estimated at 10-12 thousand dollars, but this is no longer a trailer, but rather a full-fledged bus equipped with everything necessary for living. You can equip it with a steam room, and the mobile autobahn will be able to perform three functions at once:
Moreover, unlike a bulky trailer, the bus bath already has a factory-built toilet, shower, refrigerator, stove with a gas bottle. It remains only to separate part of the space and convert it into a steam room.
PAZ 3205 buses are being successfully converted into a bathhouse, photo.
Thanks to the use of a domestic base, such an autobahn is even cheaper than a trailer or trailer of a similar class, about 5-6 thousand dollars.
There is also an autobahn based on Ikarus and LIAZ, but city buses are not very suitable for arranging a comfortable steam room. Carriage proportions and a heavy metal frame quickly cool the room.
Sauna based on GAZ 66
Of all the existing auto-versions of a mobile bath, a lawn-based steam room is rightly considered one of the best, especially if room comfort and high vehicle traffic are required.
Bath on wheels GAZ 66 will pass through any off-road, in fact, the "lawn" is best suited for conversion into a mobile steam room:
- The aluminum kung or booth is insulated with foam plastic, the propulsion system has a built-in industrial voltage electric current generator;
- The design of the machine has a built-in solar heater - a heater that can easily be raised in 10 minutes. the temperature of the steam room to the required 80 ° C;
- A powerful machine is capable of transporting a trailer with a residential unit, a mobile electrical installation or a refrigerator.
According to the reviews of fishermen and hunters, instead of SUVs and UAZs, it is the autobahn equipped on the basis of GAZ 66 that is increasingly leaving for outdoor activities, video
Autobahn: design
Automotive steam models have been produced on stream for a long time. The most important details of the layout - the structure of the body or trailer, the optimal location of the sauna, shower and washing departments, the heating stove and the heater have long been successfully tested and perfected in practice for many years of operation.
When planning car baths, the following rules are used:
- The steam room with the stove is located in the "tail" of the car booth or kung, away from the fuel tank;
- A supply of water and a shower cabin are installed in the center of the room;
- The wooden body of the bath must be sheathed on the outside with sheet metal.
Wooden baths burn often and quickly, an autobahn, regardless of whether the structure is built on a trailer or on a car body, is prone to fire much more often than stationary options.
Note! Wood-burning stoves can only be used for a sauna assembled on a two-axle trailer with a steam room area of more than 3.5 m2. In all other cases, the autobahn is heated by gas heaters.
Below is a layout option for a five-ton two-axle trailer or on the chassis of a category “C” car
Bath on wheels do it yourself
The easiest way is to build a small mobile autobahn based on a standard trailer for a car. Building a mobile bath with your own hands turns out to be no more difficult, and in some ways simpler than a regular backyard sauna for two or three people.
Construction installation
First of all, you need to choose the right trailer for the future steam room. Of all the models of small caravans, the best autobahn will be obtained from two-axle structures with wheel sizes of 12 or 13 inches.
This choice is dictated by quite practical considerations:
- First, the autobahn decreases in overall height. The higher the design, the greater its windage. On the move, in strong winds, too high an autobahn can overturn the car;
- Secondly, the bath box is made only in a frame way from a metal or wooden profile, no log cabins from timber or logs;
- The sauna stove is used only in a closed type. The doors of the firebox and the chimney pipe must lead to the outer rear wall.
Initially, on the trailer, the frame of the bath is welded from a corner or square. The lower part and the floor are reinforced with an oak plank stripe. The skeleton of the bath is welded to the side members of the trailer with a continuous seam.
In the design of the frame, it is immediately necessary to provide a niche for the heater and a cavity for installing a gas cylinder, if the autobahn is on an independent trailer, then a battery will also be required.
Usually, an automobile fuel bottle is used, suspended from the front wall of the bath so that the gas can be shut off both from the street and indoors.
The frame is sheathed with OSB boards and mineral wool insulation.
Exterior finish
After laying the insulation package, the autobahn is sheathed on the outer surface with sheet material, waterproof plywood or OSB sheets can be used.
To protect against rain and wind, the box and the roof of the bath can be sewn up with a metal profile in the color of the trailer and the general building.
If a mobile autobahn is used only during the summer season, and it is transported along the roads on a trailer no more than two or three times a year, in this case the body of the bath can be assembled from a bar, and after treatment with an antiseptic, do not line the box with clapboard or siding.
Interior design
The walls of the steam room and the dressing room of the bath are traditionally sheathed with linden and coniferous lining, respectively. The autobath inside can be sheathed with plastic or drywall, it is better to use such material only on the ceiling and flooring.
At the same time, the space around the sauna heater must be laid out with vermiculite thermal insulation, and the floor is laid with unpolished porcelain stoneware tiles.
Stove for mobile bath
A small-sized mobile autobahn is heated using three types of heating devices:
You can make a stove for a mobile bath with your own hands, but it is better to use industrial models, for example, propane heat generators or a long-burning briquette stove. Any gasoline, diesel, alcohol homemade burners and heaters means that a wooden autobahn on a trailer will burn out in the very first year of operation.
Care
The main concerns about the autobahn come down to regular drying and ventilation of the premises. Periodically, once a month, it is required to check the operation of the chimney, the condition of the furnace parts, and check the fastening of the box on the gun carriage.
Before the start of the season, the autobahn is audited, the wooden parts of the sheathing must be impregnated with flame retardant and antiseptic compounds.
Documentation
Most often, an autobahn on a trailer is not issued with any documents indicating a redesign of the structure. Firms that produce mobile steam rooms indicate in the documents for the trailer information about the presence of an easily removable rigid awning of the frame system.
The situation is more complicated if the autobahn is converted from an old bus or car. In this case, by law, it is necessary to make changes to the description vehicle. Now, according to the documents, the autobahn is listed as a mobile residential building. If windows were not cut during the alteration, the power elements of the body, kung, chassis did not change, then, perhaps, re-registration of the car is not required.
Conclusion
Baths on wheels look like an ideal solution in a situation where you have to live on the move, regularly move and work in the field. A mobile autobahn is necessary for summer residents, fishermen, farmers and construction teams working far from civilization. In such a situation, there is no real alternative to a mobile bath.
