Has anyone purchased one of the units that’s finished out ? Would love to hear what you think of it if so.

They are really really simple to finish out. Your build out is technically not structural so it’s very simple.
Xcaliber will put door and windows and ac unit if your aren’t a welder
With that said you can design anything you want into and xcaliber will do it.

8 feet wide is difficult to deal with. No different then goose neck deck over I worked on Prevost, MCIs, Eagles, GMCs, and Vanhools, etc. for over 30 tears. Not to mention POS motorhomes, trailers, and fifth wheels. 8 feet wide sucks. They stretched it to 8 1/2ft, still sucked.

I think I’m going to build one after the first of the year for the lease. Currently sleeping in a converted cargo trailer that is 8x16, an extra 4 feet would be wonderful.

Listen to Simple Searcher. Just two feet is 25% more better.

Listen to Simple Searcher. Just two feet is 25% more better. Are you talking about hauling or living space being difficult? I thought you where talking about hauling.

I've purchased 2 of their finished units for customers and 2 of the regular units from them and have had great experiences with them. The 40' finished is an awesome unit with so many uses.

I was talking about internal room and therefore convenience and comfort, but the photos shown sure look appealing.
I just started seeing these units on Craig's and have shown nuff interest to creep on their website.

Thanks. I can't take credit except trenching utilities & directing delivery and using it a lot. I do own it myself now. Buddy designed it perfect after looking at the ones from the prefab guys and knew he could do better. That is what he does for a living though. We wanted to maximize a small space and never feel cramped.
And yeah, all that white stuff is from Ikea!!

That is a down side but I don’t have a bunch of random stuff I don’t use. With that said, energy efficiency and 100% lack of bugs and mice makes the loss of some width worth it, IMO. Wish I had more money and time I’d build them just for fun and sale them. Fun projects. I’ve seen some really elaborate builds on some of the tiny home blogs and Instagram. Some very smart space saving ideas.

There are a lot of websites with more building ideas, than time.

Brent does a very good job on these units, I'm about to purchase a twenty footer. He's our former GW, a very nice guy and neighbor.

I have several units from Xcaliber. They do great work, get them built pretty quick, & are easy to deal with.
