The camera I bought is about 1/2 inch wide - that includes four LEDs that light the area. You can capture the pics on the computer to enhance and interpret them (not easy!).
There MUST BE some sort of framing behind the cap - steel, I hope. You might also try shimming between the ends of the dash and the side walls. Whatever stops the dash from moving. I'd be concerned about electrical connections shaking loose - just something to check while you're loking in there.
I've seen several Tiffins after front end crashes - there's plenty of "metal cage" behind those caps.
There is steel in the firewall area and around the step well. I've run a powerful magnet along the sides of the front cap and it is never attracted. If there is steel in there, it is buried.
The electrical connections are one of my concerns. The headlights are very easy to trace There are wires to the mirrors, too. Beyond that, the other connections to the front cap are to the windshield wipers. All of that seems OK.
There is likely metal in the overhead but I'm not sure if it extends into the front cap itself. It appears that the cap is pretty well isolated from the rest of the body. It is one of the reasons that I don't ever want to be in any sort of front end crash. There isn't much protection.
