I'm with you Sandra I'm amazed people are bidding on it! Why would you want all that steam in a caravan and what are the dark sploges on the pine slats?

Looks like the leaves from the birch twigs used for beating yourself (

) after the steaming!!!

Look at the slideshow on the listing page, there is a pile of leaves swept into a corner!!

You don't have steam in a sauna, just hot-air (like the Houses of Parliament )...

Also, I can't imagine a 4kW electric heater is ever going to heat any space up to 110 degrees (the Truma fan heater is 2kW)...

"puts Glasses on"

you could be right they do look a little leaf shaped, well at least you would have a use for the leaves and twigs the dog brings in after a walk

Don't forget the two free birch brooms and the awning that's thrown in with no frame! Bargain!

Apart from the Sauna element, this van actually looks ok. But yes I know there could be things lurking underneath but at face value it's ok.

Who could have imagined it a sauna in a caravan, I'm going to hang out for the one with the hot tub and gym!!

Have to confess if I'd been towing it any distance, I'd be leaving dark stains on the seats too...

All that steam must be going somewhere and the most likely scenario is it is condensing back to water... everywhere.

Could be the first caravan holiday where the rain is heavier inside the caravan than it is outside.

I also notice the description says end kitchen and the pictures clearly show a side kitchen and end sauna.

well i had to ask them about the weight...they reckon they have only added 150kg to the gross weight. alhtough they avoided my question about actually weighing it.

i find that very hard to believe!

at least you wont have a problem finding the damp....it will be damp everywhere!

Why the surprise at people bidding on it?

I think a sauna second hand must be worth more than a grand and this one you can take with you when you move house

Looks like some cheapo salon business been going on there rather than a real touring caravan. Could be a prop maybe from the set of the "Shameless" TV series !!!... some folks do anything to make a quick buck. I

Wonder how many more tacky "Shameless" style tacky businesses there are out there using a tourer? ... gotta be plenty as this one is probably one of the more "refined" ones ....cracking up here
