With one or two minor exceptions (Related too boot) I'd not call a 2003 "Outdated" but then I'm sitting in a 2005.. Same exceptions. but I've upgraded.
Televisions: 2003 came with a CRT boat anchor. Unless the prior owner has replaced it with a modern WIDE SCREEN ... with ATSC Digital (over the air) capability that would be my first upgrade. If you need I can discuss how to do it but I'll need photos of your current TV install.
The TV antenna. Nost 2003 would have a Winegard Sensar II or III. this is the classic crank it up and rotate it "Batwing style" RV antenna it is the 2nd best RF antenna sold in the USA. To make it the best you buy the WINGMAN (About 30 bucks) and put it on. Tools needed.. Ladder, Fingers and optionally a pair of pliers (common slip joint) Job involves removing some rubber "Feet" (just pull 'em off) Line up the holes and insert some push pins included. That's it folks.
(IN some cases you may need to do some trimming).
Next upgrade also antenna is to replace the wall plate with the light. 12 volt outlet. switch and antenna connection.. YOu replace it with the Winegard Sensar PRO. (About 100 dollars) You will need a screwdriver and possibly a 7/16" open end wrench (11mM) Everythign else should be simple.
That is really about the only "Outdated" things you will have. Or might have.
THere may be a few maintenance issues.. (I Mean at 12 years old I had to replace the water heater tank, Batteries may need replacing, Check the age on the tires. 8 years replace 'em.) but that kind of thing is
Routine maintenance for with the exception of brakes and tires and the like, any house.
