What you're doing is done all of the time! It really is nothing new and many have done it successfully for years.
I'm in an Alabama park right now that has a side storage lot with about 40-50 rigs just waiting for their owners to show up for the winter and be moved into their winter spot.
This park is in a destination area so in the summer time the weekend warriors are the main residents of the park, but during the off season the snowbirds take over. Most are older and can no longer drive or pull an RV, I think many may not feel safe doing it anymore.
The more you snowbird the more you'll also see many have two RV's. I'm one of those. I have an older large triple slide 5'th wheel I leave south which suffers the abuse of salt water. Then I have a newer smaller nimble 5'th wheel to travel about in. That's the one I'm in right now.
Many Canadians I know will have a very small TT or a slide in camper for the trip back and forth (and beyond.) Watching them is what gave me the idea of having two RV's.
Sidebar note, most parks when you're new you get the less then perfect spot. As nicer spots open up the RV'er can move to these spots, unlike a park model owner. Park Models are nice, but they do have their limitations also. Honestly, the parks I like the best, don't even have park models.
