I wrote my original question yesterday while my RV was being detailed in my driveway as I watched.
I forgot to mention that the original roof was replaced after 9 years, and the second one is getting the dreaded black spots again after 7 years. The old gal looks pretty good after a bath and a little makeup.
I didn't mention the unit has no slides which is good for me as I am disabled from childhood polio and walking through it is easier since it's narrow and there is always something to hold onto for balance.
The refrigerator is new. The carpet was replaced years ago.
As my wife (42 years) and I were having our martini last night we petty much decided to keep the old gal until she drops.
Thanks for all the insightful comments.

Rick,
I like your final decision.
She's paid for. If you think of the monthly nut for something new, you can any all all repairs covered by just a few payments.
We have just finished the planning of 4k mile excursion in our 42yo coach to happen before fall. It has lots of new stuff, but it also has lots of class and we love her. She is also proving to be at least as reliable as anything new.
