Screwing into the ceiling

Can anyone tell me what the roof truss look like on a passport 195RB?
I am going to mount a track to hang a curtain at the foot of the bed as a room devised.
The trailer say all aluminum frame. I guessing there is a flange of some kind I can screw into.
I’m hoping to get some onsite before I go running screws through my roof.
Thanks for any input

Pull the vent trim down and have a look at the trusses adjacent to the vent to understand what they look like.

You can pull either the vent trim from the 14" ceiling vents or the inside bubble from the shower skylight. Both will allow visual access to the area above the ceiling panels and below the roof decking.

Or pull out a ceiling speaker. Shove your cell phone in there and take some pictures.

Thanks for the replies. I didn’t realize I could see anything by taking the trim off the vents. Our last trailer had wood trusses, you couldn’t see anything.
I will give it a try when it warms up a little, currently 8 degrees.

They are not much thicker than tin foil, so be careful about overtightening screws.

Also there are a lot of wires up there. Be careful not to drive a screw through one.

If you have a sliding door between the bathroom and the bedroom take a screw out of the top track and get a idea how long the screws they used were.
