We have the same problem here, although most "snowbirds" come in their mobile homes and set up shop at the local trailer parks. We also see a leap in the number of ol' folks at the supermarkets and shopping malls. Bet the shop keepers can't wait for winter to roll in...
We have that too. There's one large "RV resort" about 1/2 mile away that has over 2000 spaces. Many lots are purchased and have add-ons built as an extension for the RV. One big problem is when they show up, most have RV's towing a small vehicle and seem to think that the road wanders around. At least that's how some drive, going from lane to lane, or staying in the fast lane going about 1/2 the speed limit.
But like you say, it's good for the economy and I'm sure the merchants can't wait for them to return. We are surrounded by around five different Sun Cities, probably 35-40,000 homes total, and a good many occupied just in the winter. The line at the Post Office the other day was out the door, we haven't seen that since Spring.
