We do this because it is much easier when it comes to dealing with vehicles. We have a vehicle in FL but it is my name and it had to be titled and registered in FL.
We have a vehicle in PA but it is in her name because they would not title it and register it in PA in my name.
When we bought our last coach we put it in both names. That gave us the flexibility to register it in FL or PA. I chose PA because insurance is cheaper in PA because there is now surcharges for hurricanes, tropical storms, etc. I store the coach in PA and we use that as our RV basecamp because I have indoor storage in PA and it will take less abuse from the brutal FL summer heat.
I deal with two insurance agents. One in PA and one in FL because one can't offer insurance in both states. I even ended up getting rid of my umbrella policy because the insurance companies did not want to deal with property and vehicles from two states.
Now that being said.... I have friends who have homes in FL. They drove their cars down from PA and parked them at their FL homes permanently. PA is still there residence so they have a DL from there and the cars are registered and titled there. They get their registration renewal from PA. PA requires vehicle inspections but FL does not. Their vehicle inspections have been expired for years and FL does not care as long as the vehicle has a valid registration. I'm not sure their PA insurance agents would be happy that the car is registered in PA but parked and used in FL.

I believe that you and your wife (by PA Democrat standards) are committing fraud by intentionally deceiving local PA govt and avoiding taxes & fees. Same thing where I live in CA and other Blue states.
They want their $$$$
Now, on the other hand, a Republican state like FL, AZ, or TX is much less likely to enforce the residence law.
