You say your RV is starting to show its age. How good did you take care of it. An RV needs P.M. and Maintiance just like a house. I bought a cabover camper new in 1983 for my truck when I was working. I built a carport to keep it under. It got a wax job once a year as well as the caulking checked. I had it 23 years till I retired. It still had the original plastic icebox vent on the roof with no cracks in it. I liquid gold the wood paneling inside once a year. It still looked good when I sold it. When I retired I bought me a new 5th wheel. I built a 40ft long, 16ft tall, double wide carport for it. If you take care of what you have, it will last as long as you want it. Then you won't have no problem selling it.
I haven't done much of anything to it. I polished and waxed it in 2010. You're right if it had been cared for it would still be nice.
