I think selling the house is based on your expectations. If you know you won't want to live in the same area when you stop full-timing, then selling now makes sense. If you really like where you live and want to come back to it, then selling makes less sense. In that case, you want to look at the house itself - will it work for you in your later years, or will you downsize or look for a one-story, etc.?
If you're not sure about full-timing, keep the house until you've been out for a while and know you want to keep doing it. When you're in an RV, you can always come back to sell the house later. And some folks full-time knowing they're only going to do it for 2 or 3 years, so in that case, selling isn't as important.
As for the stuff, I wouldn't keep everything, but I wouldn't hesitate to keep those things that I love.
