Probably impossible for any of us to give you a definitive answer, as very much down to the camp site as to acceptability.
A very practical solution on the face of it, but technically you'd have two 'units' on one pitch, which may clash with site policy and possibly any insurance cover they may have, and of course fire regs which dictate spacing between main units, which may prevent you being allowed to do so. That said, many sites allow 'pup tents' (usually for the kids) on the same pitch. Think one question that may crop up is 'do you have gas/cooking facilities in the tent as well as camper', it may be one or other acceptable but not both.
Only real answer to question is discuss with camp site(s) to get their reaction. If you explain reason/circumstances they may accept you, but be prepare for some sites to reject the idea.
I suspect sites may be concerned about how much space you occupy, whilst a tunnel tent may not be any bigger than an awning, an awning will be completely alongside a camper, whereas a tent will need to be displaced to allow access to side door. Not necessarily a problem on a very large pitch, but may be an issue on smaller pitches, obviously the size of the tunnel tent has a bearing on that.
Only a few thoughts on subject, nothing very definitive I'm afraid. Good luck.
