Ceiling hooks to support hanging pantry?
I have a 2012 Forest River Flagstaff MAC 246D Pop-up. There are four hooks in the ceiling over the galley area. I think this is for an optional "hanging pantry" I've seen listed on Flagstaff specs. ...

We had hooks and handles that could be pulled down and used for hanging cloths on with a cloths hanger (factory installed) on our PUP we use to own. When our awning blew over the top and punched a hole in the roof, I found out the roof if nothing but foam board with a thin sheet of aluminum on the top and a plastic panel for the ceiling on the inside. No supports, no frames, nothing. Just foam board and two skins, one outside and one inside.
But the hooks and hangers were not installed when we get the new roof. So I installed them myself. The dealer sold them, easy enough, and they were supported by 4 simple screws (for the hangers) and a single screw for the hooks. BUT! They came with that super strong double backed sticky tape. Between the tape and the screws the panel would rip off before the hook fell off. I ended up using Liquid Nails (the old stuff, not the new fangled stuff they make now a-days) and with a spot of Liquid Nails and the screw to hold it in place till the Liquid Nails set up and hardened and boneed, those suckers could support almost anything. We never were excessive with them supporting wight, but they were great for hanging clothes on.
Not sure how your's is made but even if it had any kind of support fram structure in the roof, it would be hard to hit with a screw.
You always have the option to drill a hole completely through the roof and bolt it with a washer and nut on the outside. Weather proof the spot where the bolt comes through, but then the hook would support anything, as long as it wasn't too much weight for the camper lift system.
