I would keep it too. If our previous coach had been on a diesel chassis we would still have it, with a new interior! It was an 8 year old Gasser with 110,000 miles, all ours.
The coach you have is a fine chassis and shell. With continued light use for the next 5-7 years it ought to be fine. If you want significant upgrades then you could choose between a new coach or major interior upgrades to the present one. Most of the newest bells and whistles can be added while undergoing an upgrade. Even some exterior things like better cameras and lighting options are addable.
The worst thing you would face would be Resort discrimination against older coaches. That can be overcome with careful maintenance of the exterior.
At seven years you are already past the worst of the depreciation. At 8 years no one wanted to give me anything for my Southwind.
