I had a 2004 PW Excel with white interior. Luckily mine was in good shape and only had to be wiped down occasionally.
I don't know if premium grade wood is used for the white painted interiors of PW's. That would make all the difference to me as to whether to re-paint or strip and stain. Crappy wood would make for a crappy finish, imo.
I'm not sure the effort and time it would take to strip all the white wood surfaces would be worth it to me, not to mention the messiness of the job: strip, sand, stain, varnish, etc.
I'd probably just repaint. Then again, I'm partial to very light finishes in my RVs because it makes them seem more expansive and less dungeon / cave-like. My newer PW's interior has a very light wood interior. I'm pleased with it.
Good luck whatever you decide.
