The tiny house movement is filled with traditional tiny houses on wheels, schoolies, and camper vans, but Wise is carving out his own niche in the movement.
"I just wanted to have as much freedom as possible," he said. "I also like the challenge of trying to do things a little differently. I feel like VanLife is the most popular thing right now, but it's cool to say I can do it in a truck too."
Wise isn't alone: People have long chosen to live in their cars or other vehicles full-time — today, some use TikTok to share their stories and tips for living so tiny. Although these homes may look different than the others in the tiny house community, Wise said they share the same core values.
"I think the tiny house movement is just a movement toward minimalism, and I definitely share that," he said. "I think living with less is the core of the tiny house movement, and I can relate to that very strongly."
