If you're happy with the price and the seller is happy with the price, then it's hard for me to say it's not a good price. Very much of the actual value of a used RV depends on its condition, which is pretty much ignored by the NADA numbers. Prices also vary quite a fair bit geographically; finding a decent used RV for $10K would be pretty hard in New England, from what I've seen. Well kept, practically no water damage, everything works properly...that's worth some money; and if your needs or wants are rather unusal and specific, you may have to pay more to get them met.
Be extremely careful with your towing decisions. The diesel engine doesn't change the brakes, the frame (and frame extensions), the hitch, etc. I'm not really sure it even would do much better in general with towing than the V10, though it will be running at a lower speed and hence sound "better", or at least different.
A fair few newer Ford class C's have 7500 pound tow ratings, by the way.

There are times when paying significantly more than NADA is worth the price. An old like-new creme puff has greater "street" value than a newer beat-up rig that elements got the best of. So it's up to the buyer to decide what it's worth to him, knowing that when it comes to insurance coverage, the book value will nix the street value.
Our 12 year, stored indoors, creme puff, is migrating into that category, so maybe I am a little bias.

$27K and got him down to $22K? NADA online values for a 2003 290RF are south of $10K. A 7.3 diesel that is not shown in the tables does not add $10K+ to the value of a 16 year old motorhome. Sounds like the owner jumped on NADA and started checking option boxes to get his asking price and he would have to had check most all of them to get up to even $20K retail.
Value is ultimately what the the purchaser determines it is to them. Will a bank even finance a 16 yr old motorhome using it as the collateral? If they will, call and ask them what the max amount is they'll loan on it.
