Vehicle dweller

A vehicle dweller, or car dweller, is a person who lives out of a car or other vehicle.[1][2][3][4][5] Vehicle dwellers are considered to be homeless persons in most parts of the United States. Although technically, they are not homeless, since the very definition of a home is a permanent place where one lives. Many vehicle dwellers are forced by necessity to live out of their vehicle, although some do so as a lifestyle choice, as in the case of some van dwellers.
