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. ...

The folding trailers don't use anything that weighs much in the roof ceiling that has to be cranked up to setup. My Startcraft 14RT POPUP ceiling is 1/4-inch plyboard first at the ceiling then about 1 to 2-inches of foam, then the roof which is fiberglass/vinyl type layer. It does have a few 1-inch wood cross members.
You would really have to engineer something to be able to support anything heavy.
You can contact your trailer manf and get the ceiling info. Be sure to have your VIN number handy.
You can also pull down one of the ceiling lamp fixtures and get a pretty good idea how the ceiling is structured...
I added a single ceiling light fixture over the sink area and accidentally drilled a small through the roof. Was only just a little over 1.5-inches thick in that area...
I realized I drilled thru the roof as when I finished I saw a red dot on the trailer floor which was a small sun beam of light haha... Tell tale sign of a hole in the roof haha...
I did find this google photo of someone rebuilding their trailer roof. I suspect my ceiling is much like this photo...
When the dealer mounted my 13,500 BTU Air Conditioner on my POPUP roof they had to mount metal support CEILING BRACE sections as shown in this google photo. This photo only one installed but mine had a second AC CEILING BRACE installed on the other side of the heavy Air COnditioner.
