Solar Panel Upgrade - Desert Fox
Only have the 20-watt solar panel on my Desert Fox 21sw and would like to put the 160-watt one up there. Any suggestions on doing this? Thanks!

You need to get up to the roof and eyeball and measure what layout and space you have. Take photos. Draw a simple drawing of the layout and space.
Then go internet shopping. For example, go to Northern Arizona Wind & Sun website and look at their section of panels for sale. Dimensions will be listed, length width and weight. (I have no affiliation with them, I just found their website interesting and useful.). I
Get a good charge controller, wiring, etc etc etc, as well as a battery monitor display.
Please let us know how this works out and what you ended up with.
Best wishes to you.
I'd look for the highest wattage panel that would fit your physical space, and make sure it would pretty much evenly match your battery bank.
