How to make a bath on wheels with your own hands

If you get into the heart of the matter, then the bath is not just a way to clean your body. You can wash yourself in the shower, and in the tub, and in the basin - yes, even in a river or lake, if there is nothing else. Bath is the same, you can say, philosophy, an occasion to communicate with friends in a relaxed atmosphere, yes, plus enjoyment from the process itself - and add here the therapeutic effect that the steam room has. That's why the idea to build a bath on wheels visited a variety of people - and was repeatedly implemented!

Variants of mobile steam rooms

One of the easiest ways to get a bath on wheels in use is widely used in the army and tourist camps. It is called mobile and is a tent equipped with a steam generator and a folding sunbed. It is transported in disassembled folded condition, it takes a little space, it is not heavy - however it is difficult to call it a full bath. You can steam up, but without special comfort and accompanied by a specific smell of canvas. Moreover, such equipment is not particularly tight, steam escapes through the cracks, and the gait can not boast of a good fever.

A more complete option, allowing to find a bath on wheels, has long been used by Estonians living in the forests. They put ready-made logs on the tractor caterpillars and get an all-pass steam room complex, which includes a dressing room, a steam room, and even a veranda for cooling. But there are also alternative ideas.

What can be used as a basis

The bath on wheels with their own hands can be made on the basis of a bus, a lorry (including an army vehicle, it has a higher capacity) or a large enough trailer. You can also take only a frame with wheels or caterpillars and erect a structure on it. With this approach, you can vary the size and location of the interior, but there will not be a self-propelled bathhouse - you will have to think over the attachments for tracing to the car. But such a bath on wheels can be finished with materials that are most suitable for maintaining steam and creating the right mood and aroma.

Steam room from scratch: the necessary engineering solutions

If you are planning to organize your business using a bath on wheels, it is better to carry out not the re-equipment of something, namely the construction of the complex. If you do not have the necessary knowledge and skills, you will have to resort to the help of specialists, since exact calculations will be needed. The design should take into account the stability of the structure and the required capacity of the stove to be installed, as well as the dimensions of the trailer, in order to avoid further conflicts with road patrols and not to search for detours if the height exceeds the permitted one. To ensure that such a mobile bath on wheels is not too mobile due to excessive weight, you need to choose the right materials - and this is also included in the list of engineering tasks.

Construction collection

In the future, purely technical skills will be required. First, a power frame is assembled, on the basis of which the metal profiles are welded, the stiffeners are fixed and the furnace is installed. The furnace is then output to the outside so as not to interfere with the washing process. The stove can be purchased ready, and you can make yourself. Further the roof is covered - at its presence the final furnish can be made even in adverse weather. It will turn out much more successfully, if outside the mobile bath on wheels will be finished with a tree, and it is a lime tree. She also keeps the temperature strong, and gives a natural look, in contrast to plastic with the image of woody spils. Inside, the finishing of a mobile bath is no different from a stationary version; You can only supplement it with romantic accessories like lanterns stylized for kerosene, unobtrusive lighting and wooden insets on the walls.

Additional accessories for successful entrepreneurship

If your business is a bath on wheels, you will have to invest in some accessories that are not necessary for personal use of the steam room. It is not out of place to take care of the convenience of using stones, for example, to string them on a stainless steel, then such "beads" can be quickly disposed on the stove, and quickly removed. However, such know-how is also suitable for non-commercial use of a mobile bathhouse. A competent business move will be the installation of a flagpole on the roof, when a flag is raised during installation of the complex, informing others about the arrival.

Installing the washing complex

There are no special difficulties here. After arriving at the desired point, the bath disengages from the car, which is better to drive away, so as not to spoil the landscape. The flap will be the threshold, an additional ladder will be placed under it so that visitors do not clamber inward. The flag is hoisted, the furnace is heated - and the complex is ready to receive those who wish. Deployment of the bath lasts no longer than a quarter of an hour; Even the tent option is going to be longer.

Proper operation and "storage"

Like any other subspecies, the bath on wheels must be dried after use. This is done elementary: the door opens, and the oven does not turn off immediately. Floor grates and shelves are removed, washed in a nearby pond and left in the shade for drying. The board rises, additional supports are removed inside, the transport is adjusted, the flag is removed - and you can move on. On the road, a lot of speed, of course, you will not score, but this is typical for any car with a trailer. Because of the rather high altitude, your bath will be swaying on the way, but if the engineering calculations are correct, it should not fall on its side. For better stability, the stove is balanced with a shelf and grilles.

Re-equipment

If you do not need to give the bathhouse a fascinating look, that is, for "internal" use, you can go on a simpler route and buy as a base an old truck. The process of creating a mobile bath and simplify, and will become cheaper. The most expensive investment will be the purchase of a shower and a toilet, such as those installed on yachts. The majority of the people choose this method, since it is possible to make a bath on wheels with the use of a ready basis independently. The process begins with the dismantling of all unnecessary. The place where the furnace is planned to be located is insulated with fireproof materials (the same asbestos, for example), the floor is strengthened so that it can withstand the weight of the heater. Outside, a hole is cut through the furnace door. The remaining frame is additionally strengthened so that when moving the frame it does not loosen, and the design lasts longer. Installed the necessary plumbing, including pipes, laid wiring with additional insulation and everything is lined with lime lining. The exterior decoration can also be made of wood, but you can leave a "military" image, just to be comfortable inside.

Benefits of choice

It must be said that not only travelers and those who made it their entrepreneurial project choose a bath-house on wheels. Those who have a standard six hundred square meters, but who like to soar, also often give her preference. All the same places it takes much less, does not need a solid foundation, which immediately reduces the cost of the bath itself several times. In addition, it dries faster, and it can always be lent to friends and relatives - if only they could drive a car with a trailer.

Subtlety that increases efficiency and improves mood

Many forget that a mobile bath is often used in winter. Therefore, it would be nice to supplement its equipment with an autonomous heater, such as those that are heated by salons of large trucks in parking lots. With the arrangement of the roof, it is useful to make a visor to cover the exit to the veranda - from the rain, and from the sun, and that the snow should not swell the entrance. Additional support for the flap side of some neglected - say, it is enough and step-offs. However, without such supports, the board will require repair in a year, even if the bath is not used too often. In a dressing room it is more harmonious to put furniture wooden or from a vine - waterproof coverings on furniture are often not so pleasant for a naked skin. And even if you equip such a washing design for yourself, and not for business, install video equipment in the dressing room - this is a very diversified rest.

In any case, lately it has become increasingly popular to have a bath on wheels. Reviews about her often are enthusiastic - nice yet, being in the "wild" conditions, join the comfortable civilization.
