Finding Studs
First off, Anybody know if the studs in the roof of my 2003 Itasca Sunova are wood or are they metal? If they're metal, do you think this metal dectector would pinpoint them? Detector

No roof has "studs" but rather rafters. Whether wood or metal just use a quality multi scanner such as this Zircon i520 which is capable of detecting both wood & metal, along with wiring detection.
Meh.
I have several different models (not this one but they all work the same) of Zircon scanners..
Neither works well with the extremely thin RV walls, they are designed primarily for standard stick and brick 2x4 walls.
RV walls are at best 1" thick so stud detectors tend to get a lot of false readings. The detectors see the back side of the wall confusing the detector.
While it is possible to use one, they don't work as well with shallow RV walls so be prepared to drill a few exploratory holes..
