Some stud finders (e.g. Franklin Prosensor 710) will show where the aluminum studs are. We have a 710, and it works as advertised.

wait until a cool night and check the sidewalls-the aluminum studs show up pretty easily with condensation patterns.

Don't know the exact location of the aluminum wall tubing but the tubes frame the openings. The construction video might help.

I'd like to install some more ventilation in our 2018  RP176.  I'd like to put a a porthole at the head of each bunkbed so we get ventilation on hot nights.  Any one know the actual placement of the aluminum frames and wiring (if any) so I can make sure I don't cut the aluminum framing?
