If the everything inside the housebox is working properly and major items like fridge and roof AC unit have been repaired or replaced,RV generator, converter and house battery system are working well, and you are happy with the interior and exterior cosmetics, and engine, engine cooling system, brakes, and transmission are in good shape, and tires are less than 5 years old by date codes, the only reason you might sell it is to have something newer looking. If the rig is trustworthy enough for touring cross-country and handles well, I'd say keep it. If after some steady use, it shows need for costly repairs, consider peddling it and buying a 3-4 year old rig that needs nothing. Old rigs with new innards don't sell for much more than $5000 so you might have more invested in it than it's market value.
Older, heavier, rigs with smaller engines using carburetors, instead of electronic fuel injection and electronic ignition systems, do not perform as well as newer Ford V-10's on E-450 chassis and tend to overheat pulling long grades at high altitudes on hot days. That's one major reason you might want to eventually find a newer rig.
