That thing is rad! I enjoy the natural hotsprings when I'm fortunate to be staying near one, but having your own sauna waiting back in the campsite would be great after a hike, ski or mtb ride! Are you concerned about th height of the chimney at all when driving?

Awesome build, love it... Way to breath new life into an old camper:beer::beer::beer:

Thanks... and do agree with those words...

Seems like the RV sat around for past few years and was getting ready to give it up...

We've put more then 3000 miles throughout the years time and its still going...

Top part of chimney is removable, since we dont use it when on the move... once set up camp, then its up and "smokin" :)

What I love... is when we take it to snowpark... and there is about 3+ feet of snow. Tubing with kids or snowmobiling with a buddy... - best times!!!

Taking a break at the right time - important... Keep yourself going with a nice hot cup-o-TEA... :)

Love it! I don't know if I would build one for the road, but it's a thought.

Where did you get your stove?

Stove is HARVIA brand (local sauna store), and chimney is from local fireplace store... :)

Rest is common sense... :)

That is awesome! I think you ought to get a second minnie winnie and put a hot tub in it! Then, of course, they have to travel in pairs!

Nostrovia!
