I took the inside cover off my maxaire vent in the bathroom to see if I could determine my roof construction. The image is what I found. Looks like 1/2" plywood covered by EPDM. I have ducted a/c so there is quite a bit of space between the upper roof and inside ceiling. It is a crowned roof.
I am using aluminum strut track spaced @ 17" for each panel. I tried to find cross members on the roof with a stud finder but it just beeped the whole time. I think I was causing it to detect stud all the time.
Based on what I am seeing with 1/2" plywood as the upper surface, I am just going to use 1" wood lag screws to fasten the strut track every 16". Each track is 10ft long. I am only mounting 1 panel per side for now.
Is there anything else I can do to verify roof construction? Does this match what others have found on a Forest River product (2021 Salem Hemisphere 290RL 5er)?
