Russian Builds Mobile Sauna

Russian Igor Chupin has converted a military truck into a mobile sauna and charges clients 1000 roubles ($42.37) per hour to use it.

Chupin said it took him months to build the traveling banya offers the real Russian experience. It has a 400-litre (88-gallon) water tank on top to provide the steam and is heated with a wood-fired stove.

As a Russian person i will admit i have an unusual urge to be in a sauna, i actually tried to build my own in the back of my house a couple years ago under my balcony. But between my job and social life it is only partially built and i am left with a closed off area and a large hole in the ground. :(

there's actually a sauna bus here in helsinki which is the same deal...was used by student organisations during parties and such. I find it funny how the mobile sauna offers a "real Russian experience" considering the sauna was invented by Finns :)

its just most likely a slogan put there to entice people, looking at the background it seems like this truck only goes to the back woods hick Russians, where they don't have a private club or ymca for that matter, to have a good soak. Who would pay $42.37 an HOUR to sit in a cramped little bus?
