>What is called THOWs or Tiny Houses on Wheels do not pay taxes or association fees.

So RVs or campers with a cute name.

Categorically yes, like genetically, but phenotypically no. TH are more home-like and more comfortable, even at this early stage in their evolution. RVs can be quite luxurious but in my opinion they are distinctly different to THs.

That can mostly be attributed to the use case:

RV (original intent) usecase was temporary living, moving often, the TH usecase is permanent living, moving rarely.
