I have owned RV's over 40 years and was also a dealer some years back. In years past shut off pressures in the range of 30 to 30+ or so PSI for demand pump systems were fairly typical. HOWEVER in more recent years I have seen some (not all) pump brands and models increase that shut off pressure. If I recall (would have to go look) my current pump is 50 PSI.
YES provided the plumbing system and piping and fittings are ALL up to par????? it should withstand 60 PSI fine.
Some city water outlets at some RV parks may be HIGH like 70/80 or more PSI which is why I always use a water pressure regulator when I connect that limits the pressure to around 40 to 50 PSI.
NOTE AND WARNING However some RV water systems may be poor quality or over time the splices and fittings etc may have deteriorated plus I have seen those PEX or Gray Polybutelyne tubing fittings and splices (hose barb with crimp ring) start to LEAK grrrrrrrrrrr
BOTTOM LINE 60 PSI doesn't scare me and even decent quality RV piping should handle it just fine, BUT I DONT KNOW YOUR RV AND SURE CANT GUARANTEEE IT. However, if it cant handle 60 PSI it needs some repair or upgrades anyway, because if it cant handle 60 PSI it could sure have a problem eventually even at 40 PSI. I cant say what pipe your RV used, but wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't initially rated at like 100 PSI or more!!!!!!!!!! and if so and if its all okay, 60 PSI is not a problem
GIVE IT A TRY I like my RV;s that have had 40 to 50 PSI water pressure much more then the old ones that were 30 or so.
Maybe conduct some sort of a pressure test prior to the new pumps installation???

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
