Good day all! I have a 21 Sunset Trail 242BH. I'm a full timer and this is my first time owning a camper. I've been in it about a year now and I'm wanting to upgrade the convenience center to a touchscreen / smart type panel. Any ideas what I need to be looking for? Having a really hard time finding info on this. Current panel photo attached.

I personally would stick to switches. IMO they are more reliable than touch. At least if a switch goes bad you can replace the switch and not the entire panel.
 
I would recommend that you stick with what you have, and perhaps just add the devices that you would like, like a voltage monitor and surge protector with monitor.
The convenience centers that have touch screens are integrated with other devices and sensors that would be almost impossible to add after manufacture. They can be troublesome and unreliable, and expensive to repair.
Most units with the touch center also have switches for most of the things that you have switches for.
There really is no good way to upgrade. You'll also find that the switch panel is much easier to use.
