Looking at keeping my current RV rather than getting a new one, I have problems with: 1) Ceiling. Dopes put carpeting in up there. It’s really gross. 2) Cabinets. American style and dar...

That trim you refer to is called gimp molding.
It is common throughout the RV industry, and used specifically as a transition from walls, partitions, cabinets etc to the floor and ceiling. It works well to hide the cut edges of all panels, anywhere where they meet each other.
Google "gimp molding" and you will see it has the visible round part, and a little flap that gets stapled onto the various parts during construction.
Arctic Fox? You have an excellent, well built TC. IMO, AF build quality is superior over many others. Perhaps a hit heavy, but a sturdy unit. If there is no rot, it is worth doing mods to update it. What year is it?
That carpet has to go, it will look so much better with a modern looking theme. And that theme is totally up to your own taste, after all, it's yours.
Time frame? Be prepared to put some effort into it. It's not a weekend deal for sure. If you have access to inside shop, garage, warehouse, barn area out of the weather, you will spend far less time doing your mods. What you describe here I think could be done in perhaps a hundred to 150 hours or so. But this depends on your skill level too. Double that if you are learning as you go. Having the right tools is a big plus.
I did mine in my driveway, and I could not leave it open. Every night I had to put all the siding back on and cover the whole thing with tarps. Every single night without exception. Having inside space where you can just walk away every night is a huge asset.
