A sauna on wheels is a small structure that can be placed in a standard-sized trailer and transported by attaching it to your main vehicle. Obviously, you don’t need the smallest trailer, but at least one with an internal body width of 1.5 meters and a length of more than 2 meters. At the same time, the total weight of such a bathhouse should not exceed the standards established by the trailer manufacturer.
By the way, if you like relaxing by the lake, you should inquire about renting or purchasing geodome structures. With their help you can be in the fresh air without the scorching sun and rain. You can purchase this design at https://fullerdome.com/.

Story
Many people think that the autobath is a modern invention. However, it is not. The first steam room on wheels was invented in 1982. Such an extravagant idea came to the minds of two smart guys - students of the Finnish Technical University - Kalle and Juha. When the guys shared their thoughts about the bathhouse on wheels, they were ridiculed.
But they, despite the contemptuous glances of their fellow students, puffed at making their dreams come true. After some time, the autobath was born. Finnish students carried their invention around like a bag, traveling around different countries. And for good reason. The extravagant bathhouse appealed to many people. The Russians especially appreciated it.
35 years have passed since then. The mobile steam room has undergone a number of changes, thanks to which it has become simply indispensable for avid tourists.
Care
In order for a mobile sauna to serve faithfully for many years, you need to take good care of it. For example:
- the trailer with the steam room is detached while the bath is in use;
- additional supports are installed so that the trailer with the sauna does not swing or overturn during operation, which is fraught with dire consequences;
- After the procedures, shelves and wood lathing are taken outside, thoroughly washed and dried naturally;
- The door of the steam room opens wide after using the bathhouse, while the stove operates at minimum power.
Proper use of a bathhouse is a guarantee of its durability, aesthetics and comfort.
Thus, dear readers, as you can see, building a steam room on wheels is a profitable investment. In addition, you can easily “recoup” the money spent. Don't believe me? The price per hour for renting this miracle in different regions of the country varies greatly, but in general it is 1000–2000 rubles. In general, now I’ll tell you in more detail.
Mobile sauna services
The mobile sauna provides the same standard list of services as regular saunas:
- relaxing and wellness treatments;
- medicinal herbal teas;
- aromatherapy;
- inhalation.
A sauna on wheels can be rented out by the hour or set up for free use. The service also provides for the bathhouse to travel to a certain area and organize leisure activities, such as fishing. Many entrepreneurs equip their mobile sauna with a TV, minibar, karaoke and free Wi-Fi.
The average cost of a regular session for a company of 4 people is 2 thousand rubles on weekdays, and on weekends and holidays – 3 thousand rubles. When setting your price, consider the season. In the summer, it is better to reduce prices to increase demand for the service.
To increase profits, you can place a mobile bathhouse near a recreation center, in popular places for outdoor trips, or near reservoirs where fishermen gather. Offer additional services: renting a bathhouse for an event, massage services, mini-bar, etc.
Kinds
A Russian bathhouse or a Finnish sauna on a wheeled vehicle is made from all kinds of cars, vans, and boat trailers. A towing vehicle is additionally purchased for the trailed structure. The shape of the bathhouse is ordinary, rectangular, the barrel bathhouse is in the form of a cylinder, the design with one beveled edge, in the shape of a hut.
Steam rooms made from converted buses and trucks
A spacious bathhouse is placed in a bus, which must first be remodeled - insulated, covered with foil, wooden panels, and it already has a staircase. The room is divided into a dressing room, a steam room, and other utility rooms - the amount of space allows. A ready-made purchased barrel is installed in the back of a truck or a trailer is built - the structure must be carefully secured using special fastening slings. For climbing, a folding ladder is made, usually wooden.
Steam rooms on platforms with wheels
A full-fledged wooden trailer or barrel is built on a platform frame or in a trailer. A boat trailer has a special trailer - if, according to documents, it can transport other cargo, such as a barrel bath, then a special permit from the traffic police is not required.
To build such a steam room, the barrel is made independently of any desired size or to order. It is mounted on embedded beams, then walls are made - at least three (of which two are external), the building is sheathed with boards, tightened with hoops, and insulated. The timber frame must be impregnated with protective compounds.
What you will need for assembly
Of course, you can’t do without a project that you need to follow when assembling the structure. You can develop it yourself, in full accordance with your own vision of a dream mobile bathhouse. Or you can take a ready-made project and thoroughly tailor it to your needs and realities. You also cannot do without:
- finishing material;
- wooden beams for the frame;
- metal for stiffeners;
- Supplies;
- tools;
- car with trailer.
In general, no more than 1-2 people are required to assemble a bathhouse on wheels. And the project can be completed in just a few days. Unless, of course, you are lazy and distracted.
Thermal insulation
In the mobile complex, a wall “pie” of thermal insulation is created, which will be 15–20 cm on each side. Stages of this insulation:
- sheathing made of 60 mm bars;
- the first layer of waterproofing is a vapor barrier membrane;
- mineral wool insulation;
- heat-reflecting aluminum foil;
- joints are glued with aluminum tape;
- counter-lattice 2–3 cm.
With such a “layer” it is possible to bring the temperature in the steam room to 90 C in an hour . In kungs - all-weather army trucks - thermal insulation is attached to the walls. With other options - on a welded metal frame covered with wood.
Documents and dimensions
To avoid problems with traffic police officers, it is necessary to take into account the requirements for the parameters and dimensions of vehicles. When rebuilding a car for a bathhouse, pay attention to the height and side projections.
Another factor is the permissible weight load of the vehicle. If the building materials are incorrectly selected, the mobile sauna may become inactive due to excessive weight. When using a bathhouse on wheels commercially, you must register an individual enterprise (IE).
Project work
Both its safety and stability, both during movement and in static conditions, depend on how seriously you work on the plan diagram of the future mobile steam room. Therefore, include the following information in your project:
- total weight of the steam room;
- axle load;
- weight distribution to centers of gravity;
- distribution of functional zones;
- steam room parameters;
- fixed stove location;
- pipe outlet for the chimney, etc.
The easiest option is to order a project from contractors. But you set out to assemble a steam room on wheels with your own hands, right? We have prepared for you a whole selection of excellent solutions that you can use without any qualms. We present some of them below. And the rest is at the very end of the material.
Real men are interested in how to make a sauna on wheels with their own hands. To do this, you must have one of the suitable foundations:
- platform frame with wheels or tracked;
- trailer for cars;
- bus, minibus (PAZ, Ikarus, GAZelle);
- truck, all-terrain vehicle (ZIL, GAZ, URAL).
That is, one version of a mobile bathhouse can be loaded onto a platform as needed, another option is equipped on the basis of a trailer, and the third option is inseparable from the car. The technology for constructing a bathhouse on wheels differs little from stationary steam rooms.
There are two ways here. You can purchase a ready-made, assembled frame for a bathhouse on wheels. All you have to do is install it and move on to the next step. Or you can get confused and assemble it yourself.
- order items that are ideally sized for you from any company;
- assemble a floor from them and secure them to the trailer using fasteners;
- fix the support beam;
- collect all the elements that are intended for finishing wall surfaces;
- install roof support beams and rafters.
Foundation
Choose flat areas with a slight slope, 20 cm. A section of 6 m is quite suitable, make markings and cut the soil to avoid rotting of organic matter. If the soil is sandy, then you should choose a strip façade with a height of 50 cm and a width of 40 cm.
Make markings along the perimeter with a rope. Check the diagonals of the corners with a tolerance of 3-4 cm. Remove the natural layer of soil and dig a trench for sand. The finished pit has a length of 20 cm, a maximum height of 40 cm.
In the center of the convergence of the logs is the axis of building a bathhouse with your own hands. If the diameter of the log is about 20 cm, then the distance from the axis will be approximately 15-20 cm. This is how shelves for securing the tides are obtained. The calculation will allow you to avoid mistakes and the foundation falling outward.
You should return here the next day and tamp again. A car might come in handy; it will speed up the work. The simplest option is a block, your boots and a handle.
Then install the formwork from edged boards (from the fence) and self-tapping screws. They make shields and connect them together with attached boards for rigidity. The top is leveled to make the horizon level along the edge
When fixing with boards, it is important to strengthen the corners that experience heavy loads and diverge. The pillow is compacted again.
Then they make reinforcement - 8 mm rods and soft wire for strapping
It is especially important to tie the joint corners of the reinforcement. Then the foundation is poured, having previously laid sewer pipes and ventilation ducts
The formwork is removed after 10 days by unscrewing the screws.
The finished structure looks like this: 2x6 m for the veranda, 4x4 m for the dressing room, 2x2 m for the washing area, 2x2 for the steam room. Ventilation should be 20 cm from the soil; in winter, the holes should be closed with plugs.
Autobath: design
Couple car models have been in production for a long time. The most important details of the layout - the design of the body or trailer, the optimal location of the sauna, shower and washing compartments, heating stove and heater - have long been successfully tested and honed in practice over many years of operation.
When planning car baths, the following rules are used:
- The paired compartment with the stove is located in the “tail” of the car booth or kung, away from the fuel tank;
- A water supply and a shower stall are installed in the center of the room;
- The wooden body of the bathhouse must be sheathed on the outside with sheet metal.
Wooden saunas burn frequently and quickly; a car sauna, regardless of whether the structure is built on a trailer or on the body of a car, is susceptible to fire much more often than stationary options.
For your information! 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 autobath is heated with gas heaters.
Below is a layout option for a five-ton two-axle trailer or on a category “C” vehicle chassis
Design features and advantages of a bathhouse on wheels
The bathhouse is a room located on a special platform. The wheelbase can be freight transport (ZIL, URAL, GAZ), minibus, bus and passenger car.
There are two design options: the sauna is mounted instead of a car body (sauna trailer) or loaded onto a platform, it is taken to the desired location and installed on the ground. A mobile sauna can be a car trailer.
The main and undeniable advantage of a sauna on wheels is its mobility. You can transport it with you, take it fishing, outdoors, etc. With it, you don’t have to wait in line until you can go to the bathhouse; it’s always at your fingertips.
Despite the fact that it is usually compact in size, such a bathhouse has everything necessary for steaming procedures. The stove in the bath can be of three types: wood-burning, gas and electric.
Specialized companies offer to buy a trailer sauna on wheels, but since it is an innovation, you need to take into account that the price of such a unit will be high.
In large cities today they do business with mobile bathhouses. To do this, they buy a bathhouse and offer steaming services within the city. But their cost is quite high.
For those who plan to use the sauna frequently, the best option is to make a sauna on wheels with your own hands. Having certain skills and following the sequence of processes, you can cope with the construction yourself.
In addition, at any time it can be placed on your site and used as a stationary one.

Bathhouses on wheels, placed on different types of bases, with photo examples
If you decide to become the owner of a bathhouse on wheels, photos of completed projects can be used as an idea for subsequent implementation. We offer you to look at mobile buildings erected at various bases.
Ready-made solutions can be used as an idea
If we are not talking about your own business, you can consider this option. For personal use, a trailer with a sauna on wheels is best suited. When designing it, it is important to take into account the carrying capacity of a passenger car. Additional supports will prevent the structure from swaying during operation.
Such buildings usually include a steam room and a dressing room. Due to their limited carrying capacity, they can only be used near bodies of water. We have prepared photos for you so that you can evaluate what such steam rooms look like.
Having decided to start your own business, you should consider using all-terrain vehicles/trucks as a base. Such a mobile bathhouse on wheels will be able to get to places where other equipment cannot go.
A practical and concise option. Such a mobile sauna on wheels is in demand because it can be loaded and removed as needed.
If you need a large steam room and relaxation room, you should consider a bus as a base. Often a mobile bathhouse on wheels is made on the basis of Ikarus. In such a bathhouse, up to 15 people can wash at the same time. It includes:
- steam room for 5 – 7 people;
- shower;
- dressing room;
- rest room;
- toilet;
- kitchenette.
A gazelle bathhouse has a smaller capacity, however, it is still in demand among consumers.
Attic
A bathhouse with an attic roof is a rather non-standard type of structure, but it is this design that allows you to significantly expand the living space.
Typically, not much space is allocated for the construction of a bathhouse. It would seem that a steam room and a dressing room - what else is needed?
But experience shows that the bathhouse has long ceased to be just a place of hygiene; now both family and friends gather here.
A frame system is chosen as the system for constructing the attic. A frame is assembled from horizontal rafters and vertical beams. In the future, these will be the walls and ceiling of the room.
Attic roofing has its advantages over other types:
- As mentioned earlier, the attic significantly expands the living space;
- The construction of an attic will help reduce the cost of building the second floor. In essence, they do not have any special differences, but the attic will cost less and in most cases this area looks much better;
- The attic of the bathhouse can be equipped for any type of room, for example, a small spa salon, a billiard room, a relaxation room, a hookah room, or even a small summer bedroom;
- Unusual roof slopes can give the attic room a universal and unique design;
- An opportunity to save on heating the attic of the bathhouse, since there is a room with hot air below.
In addition to the list of advantages, the attic type of roofing also has a number of disadvantages:
- You will have to devote a lot of time and effort to insulating the floor between the attic and the steam room, since temperature changes and high humidity constantly emanate from the bathhouse;
- If the room will be used in winter, then it is necessary to thoroughly insulate it;
- Additional costs for roofing;
- In summer, the attic will need additional ventilation and air conditioning;
- Windows in a bathhouse with a mansard roof must be specifically designed for this type of room. Ordinary windows will not work, and the cost of attic windows is significantly higher;
- The need for additional work to ensure fire safety.
The choice of roofing material should be taken as responsibly as possible, because the bathhouse will be used both in winter and summer. And in the summer, as you know, the attic will be subject to excessive heating. In order to avoid this, it is best to choose slate.
Of course, the process of creating a roof with an attic is quite complex and voluminous, but it is many times easier than the process of erecting another floor.
As a result, the roof looks attractive and elegant, and also pleases its owners with reliability for many years.
Building a sauna on wheels with your own hands
The process of building a mobile bathhouse is similar to the construction of a regular one and includes several stages.
Stage 1. Design
Before starting construction, you need to correctly draw up a drawing. You can draw it by hand on a piece of paper or create it in a special program; the advantage of the latter is the ability to assess the proportionality of the future building, calculate the amount of building materials, etc.
It's no secret that Russian roads are a difficult test for transport; they are uneven, so cars constantly sway. To prevent a bathhouse on a trailer from overturning, it is necessary to correctly design the centers of gravity - the ceiling and the stove.
You can limit yourself to just a steam room or, if the area of the future building allows, make a dressing room and shower.
The bathhouse must have containers, a drain, and a dry closet. The windows are made small or removed altogether, according to personal desire; you also need to draw the doors.
For safety reasons, the door to the bathhouse should only open outward, and loading firewood should be done from the street side.
Since you will be transporting the bathhouse on the road, do not forget that it has its own dimensions.
Stage 2. Frame assembly
Obviously, such a structure will experience enormous loads, so high-quality and reliable materials are used to create the frame - metal profiles and stiffeners.
When you arrive at the right place, the structure will need reliable support, as well as 4 additional ones, so that the bathhouse remains in a stationary position and does not sway. You also need to think about the folding side along which you will climb/descend.
The layout inside, as already mentioned, is a personal matter for everyone. But if space allows, we recommend making two sections: a steam room and a relaxation area.
Stage 3. Installing a sauna stove
The firebox should be located on the outside of the bathhouse, but in this case there is a possibility that while you get to the place, stones will fall out. In order to avoid this, you need to drill each stone and connect them with wire.
Instead of stones, you can use special ceramic insulators; they are not inferior to stones in terms of the amount of steam.
This arrangement of the firebox is not only better from a safety point of view, but also more convenient. With this design, firewood will not be stacked inside the room, and all the smoke will come out.
We recommend reading: Bathhouse made of cinder blocks: advantages, features. Stages of building a bathhouse from cinder blocks with your own hands
Stage 4. Exterior decoration of the bathhouse
The most popular option for exterior finishing is wood siding. Natural wood creates a special coziness and gives a homely atmosphere typical of a real bathhouse. In addition, wood siding is a high-quality material that has high performance characteristics and will serve faithfully for many years.
Stage 5. Interior decoration of the bath
The finishing of a mobile bathhouse is in no way inferior to the interior finishing of a stationary bathhouse. Typically, here, as in the external design, lining is used. But, of course, you must not forget about insulating the walls. To do this, you first need to make waterproofing, insulation more than 15 cm thick, cover it with foil, and then lay out the lining of natural wood. Suitable options include alder, larch, linden, aspen, etc. It is important not to use species that release resins when heated, so it is better to avoid coniferous trees in the steam room.
Stage 6. Interior decoration
The decoration of a bathhouse on wheels coincides in style with the design of a regular bathhouse. In the steam room you need to make wide shelves. It is recommended to prepare benches for rest, water tanks, a shower and a dry closet.
Stage III. Installation of a sauna stove
The furnace itself will be located outside for convenience. It is better to warm up such a bath to 60? C, and you can begin bathing procedures.
But what to do with the stones for the stove, which can easily fly out when the sauna wheel hits the pit? It is better to sew them into beads in advance - drill holes in each stone and string them on stainless steel wire. If desired, they can even be taken to another car while the bathhouse is being moved - to lighten the weight of the entire structure.
Options for the internal layout of the autobahn - there is enough space for everyone!
Exterior finishing
Next, the exterior finishing is done. To make the bathhouse beautiful, similar to a real, rustic one, use wood siding. The structure is decorated with kerosene lamps or their imitation, wooden steps, shutters with house carvings, and overhead elements made using a jigsaw. Metal profile parts are usually masked. All wooden parts must be impregnated with special compounds that prevent rotting, damage by mold and mildew.
In accordance with safety rules, the doors are located on the front side. You can make a canopy over the entrance in case of bad weather.
Interior decoration
The interior design of a mobile bathhouse is practically no different from the usual one in a stationary one. It must be well insulated, upholstered, and decorated. Fragile glass decor is not used, as it can break - the structure will often be subject to shaking during transportation. Everything in the room is well secured - any object falling while driving can cause injury. Benches, tables, sofas should not move - special attention is paid to this.
The walls are sheathed first with foil, then with clapboard. The most suitable types of wood are linden, aspen, oak, and other hardwoods. Cedar is also suitable - it smells nice, but can cause allergic reactions, especially in children. The bathhouse should be convenient for carrying out procedures such as salt and herbal peeling - it should be easy to clean after that.
To dry a freshly washed structure as quickly as possible, open doors and windows without turning off the stove.
Interior arrangement
The final stage is the creation of a comfortable, attractive interior. The ceilings are wide, or optionally folding. You definitely need at least one bench, barrels with cold and hot water. For the convenience of vacationers, it is advisable to organize a shower and toilet. The rest of the furniture, TV, refrigerator, bar are done if there is room for them. Benches and shelves are mounted along the walls.
You don’t need a lot of decor - it will clutter up the space, especially if there is not enough of it. Carved elements and artificial plants are suitable. The lighting is adjustable - during the day, street light from the windows is enough; in the evening and at night, you will have to turn on the electric light. Here it is important to take care of sufficient moisture insulation of all electrical appliances, switches, sockets, wires, and lamps.
Decorative LED lighting on the ceiling and walls will create a romantic atmosphere.
Layout
The most comfortable layout of the bath space with sufficient area involves:
- steam room;
- shower;
- dressing room
A tank for cold water and a boiler for hot water, a dry closet, and a drain tank under the bottom of the vehicle make it possible to operate the bathhouse anywhere. It wouldn’t hurt to have a backup option for draining water by gravity into the city sewer system. The supply of water for washing per person must be at least 50 liters.
If the presence of windows , then their area should be reduced to a minimum. Window glass gives off a lot of heat to the outside, so you should use a three-layer glass unit with a glass thickness of at least 6 mm. For safety reasons, doors in bathhouses of any subtypes of steam rooms must always open outward.
Mobile sauna on wheels: advantages and disadvantages
An outdoor bathhouse has a number of advantages. She:
- available. To erect a structure, you do not need to have professional construction skills;
- environmentally friendly, since natural wood is used for its production;
- aesthetic;
- ergonomic. It is conveniently located inside;
- easy to maintain;
- comfortable. No different from stationary objects;
- compacta. Can be installed anywhere;
- can heat using various types of fuel;
- functional. It can be installed on almost any vehicle;
- can become a source of additional income.
Mobility is the main advantage
The disadvantages include the inability to place a water tank. As a result, water for washing is taken either from the nearest natural source, or carried with them on an additional vehicle. There are also increased demands on the reliability of the structure and on the characteristics of the material used during construction and subsequent finishing.
Finishing materials must be of high quality
Installation of a sauna on wheels at the location
The installation begins by uncoupling the bathhouse on wheels and the car. To ensure sufficient stability of the trailer sauna, a leg-support is fixed, as well as three additional supports. After this, the side is folded back and the ladder is lowered. To install a steam room on the base of a truck or bus, just find a relatively flat area and simply turn off the engine.
The installation location should be chosen carefully
Wood sanding
Then we prepare the log house for painting. The log will be processed everywhere, from the end - this is the loosest area that can cause damage to the log.
Start with the simplest and smallest wall. It's worth tinkering with the corners, the circle of the grinder doesn't reach everywhere, you'll have to work with a chisel. The ends are processed at the end, they are sealed with mastic. It is convenient to use white; it will be easier to paint. Sanding allows you to show the beautiful structure of the wood and natural pattern.
Dry the base for 1 day, then apply glaze. After this, it is good to walk over the surface with sandpaper. Then the paint is applied in layers, the first one is dried for half a day, but it is better to leave it for a day, then a new layer is applied, which gives a matte shine.
Recommendations for using a sauna on wheels
In order for the mobile sauna to last as long as possible, you should follow certain recommendations when using it. You should:
- separate the time between driving on the road and being in the steam room. This will avoid accidental falls and burns;
- disconnect the transport from the bathhouse for the entire period of operation;
- design the bathhouse as a vehicle so that there are no difficulties when driving on the road.
You cannot use the sauna during transportation.
Safety precautions
“Maybe it will work out” - we have probably heard this original Russian phrase, which allows us to violate safety regulations with a clear conscience, many times already. However, the same cannot be said about the ability to steam while the autobahn is moving. This kind of “maybe it will cost” can cost you too much.
You can only take a steam bath in the bathhouse parking lot. This way, you will avoid unnecessary injuries and burns.
The movement of the autobath can only be combined with the heating of the stove under supervision. This will allow you to warm up the bathhouse to the required temperature by the time you arrive at the place of temporary deployment.
Where to start a bathhouse business on wheels
First, you need to register a business, register an individual entrepreneur, obtain permission from the SES and fire safety service, and also resolve the issue with the traffic police. After this you will need to get transport. The main criteria for choosing it are the volume of the body and the cross-country ability of the vehicle. Any cargo transport is suitable for this - a car, van or large bus, which needs to be converted to your needs.
Equip with a stove, cover the interior with linden boards or beams. It is also worth equipping a steam room (putting barrels with cold and hot water), you can add several small windows (for forced ventilation). Make an opening in the roof for installing a chimney. Settle such nuances as renting a garage (or parking), purchasing coal and firewood (for kindling).
The setting of a bathhouse on wheels is not much different from a stationary one. A sofa, a stereo system and a TV - for the comfort of clients’ stay and the opportunity to raise fees for additional services.
