CHOMEX Haven Nest
The mid-range step in the CHOMEX lineup — a 30 ft wing-fold expandable delivering two bedrooms and 585 sq ft at $37,995 with free continental US delivery. The only 30 ft model in the CHOMEX catalog, it fills the gap between the compact 20 ft Duo Mod and the 40 ft Vista Bode. Sound insulation to 60 dB, hurricane-rated materials, and the same 3-year warranty as the rest of the line.

What's good
- Published price ($37,995) includes free continental US delivery — rare transparency in this category
- Two private bedrooms and a full bath, kitchen, and living area in 585 sq ft
- Unfolds on-site in under 1 hour; A2 fire-rated, hurricane-rated, and 60 dB sound-insulated construction
- Affirm financing available; 3-year structural warranty from a BBB A-rated (2026) US seller
- Bulk pricing for 4+ units — useful for government housing, shelters, and multi-site operators
What's not
- No US residential certification (HUD, IRC-modular, or ANSI) — permitting depends on local jurisdiction and may require a variance
- Electrical arrives as 'standard wiring'; a US-licensed electrician is required to finish hookups to code
- Exact 585 sq ft figure is manufacturer-stated; outer deployed dimensions match the data pattern but are not third-party verified
- CHOMEX incorporated April 2024 — a young company with a limited public delivery record
- Chinese-manufactured, reshipped from overseas; no on-site installation assistance from CHOMEX

Build a custom comparison →Haven Nest — questions buyers ask
- How much does a Boxabl actually cost delivered?
- The Casita's base price is around $60,000. A realistic delivered-and-installed figure in the US is $95,000 to $140,000 once you add freight, crane, site work, an engineered pad, utility connections and permits. On raw land with no services, the top of that range is the honest planning number. Anyone quoting you a turnkey Casita at the base price is leaving something out.
- What is the cheapest foldable home you can actually buy?
- Expandable container buildings sell in the US from roughly $20,000 on marketplaces, and brand-name US sellers like Chery Industrial now start closer to $30,000, sometimes available from stock. They are legitimate portable buildings — excellent jobsite offices, studios and farm structures. They are not certified dwellings in most counties, so if your plan is to live in one full-time on a permitted lot, the real cheapest option is a certified unit at two to three times that price.
- Are the expandable container homes on Amazon any good?
- As portable buildings, some are perfectly fine — a galvanized-steel frame with foam-panel walls that unfolds into 380–800 sq ft for a low price, useful as an office, studio, guest room or short-stay unit. As dwellings, they are a problem: none of the Amazon-sold units in our catalog (Feekercn, EROMMY) carries a verified residential certification, so most jurisdictions will not permit them as a residence, and warranty and support are retail-grade. Buy one for what it is, plan for import logistics and an electrician, and do not mistake a low sticker price for a low-cost home.
- Can I put a foldable home on raw land?
- Physically yes, but the site work is where the budget goes. Raw land with no services means you pay for access, clearing and grading, a foundation, and — the big one — utilities, where a septic system alone can exceed $20,000. On the cheapest units the site work frequently costs more than the building. Plan on roughly base price × 2.2 for an unserviced site, and confirm your parcel is zoned for a dwelling and can pass a septic/perc test before you buy either the land or the unit.
- What is the Boxabl Baby Box?
- A small towable Boxabl launched around $19,999, with a wet bath and kitchenette in roughly 120 sq ft, aimed at offices, studios and guest rooms rather than full dwellings. It is SUV-towable and off-grid capable, but it is RV-classed rather than a permitted dwelling, and several specs — folded dimensions, certification and warranty — remain unconfirmed by Boxabl. Treat it as a preorder with projected numbers, not a shipping product you can pin down today.
