Browsing popular YouTube channel Garage 54, you’ll find some very interesting video content outlining an amazing project. In a recent two-video series, the popular YouTubers built a real-life actual steam room on wheels!
If you live in a cold climate like Canada or northern Europe, you likely know the struggle it is sometimes having to go out in the morning and sit in a cold car on the way to work. No matter how long the engine may run, you can never get the car to heat up as quickly as you’d prefer and sometimes it just never heats the way you want it to. Enter in YouTubers Garage 54 with a solution!
The Russian-based YouTube channel launched a two-part video series where they took an old UAZ bus and created a steam room inside of it. They removed the exterior panels of the bus, allowing them to expand the body outside of the original limitations. This provided them the chance to install a steam generator and other equipment required for a steam room.
After reinforcing the chassis with sidebars, the builders followed this by adding a completed tiny cabin on top of the UAZ bus. Sure, we admit the concept is pretty ridiculous but it’s hard to argue the finished product isn’t something fun to watch albeit not so practical!
Upon completion, the steam room on wheels was able to be moved and rather impressively, functioned just like any other steam room. Unlike the prefabricated homes you’ll see being driven down the highway, this steam room acts as both the room and the tow vehicle.
For those interested, they can view both steam room on wheels videos on the official Garage 54 YouTube channel. There, you can see more of what we’re talking about. The first video details a lot of the more basic structural work and the basics of the steam room, while the second video shares a little bit about the accessories and additions thrown on.
It’s one thing to build a tiny cabin such as what appears to be the case on the outside. It’s another thing to build a functioning steam room and then, to have it be able to be moved on wheels. From North America to Russia, as one of North America’s biggest suppliers of steam rooms and saunas, we extend our utmost congratulations to this wonderful ingenuity!
Needless to say, the steam room isn’t the best or safest steam room out there but it’s still fun to watch it all come together. And, truthfully, if the wheels had been a little bit bigger, the body a little bit more appropriate to the size of the frame, and if it wasn’t so close to falling over on occasion, this steam-room-on-wheels could be a functional design. That said, we can in no way advertise this as a design to be applied to other steam room constructions as – outside of having a bit of YouTube video watching fun – it’s very, very dangerous.
