I think these two would be a concern for resale, particularly the first. Anytime you modify a coach so that the "average" shopper would need to understand the limitations, how to correctly service the coach or communicate to the service tech how it has been changed, you limit your buyer audience.
The user of a smart coach like an original Foretravel often is the type perfectly comfortable with being on 30 amp. If they required 50 amp (and were especially dependent upon the campground being wired correctly), this seems like it would limit (at least in a buyer's mind) options for commercial campgrounds and some state park-type ones. True, you could add solar to the equation, but tree cover (and weather) would still present challenges.
Now service. Most RV techs are going to expect a 12V DC system and a 120V generator. Taking a coach with these modifications in for electrical service/repair would also prove challenging. True, you could find a buyer who is a DIYer where this wouldn't pose as much of an issue, but that is also a limit on the pool of potential buyers.
All this thought is moot if you intend to keep it forever and drive the coach into the ground 
I tend to view coaches like houses - you do buy/build for yourself, but it's wise to always keep resale in the back of your mind. You never know what life is going to throw at you.
