Well, I'm happy to report that we believe our problem has been resolved. We had a local RV repair company look at it. They used a stud finder that did show studs in the roof of the slide. To confirm, they took some more of the screws out of the end that has dropped so they could see up inside...
John,
Your description is exactly what happened. The screw actually came out as well. See attached photo. It is a 3 inch long screw. I've been thinking about the toggle bolt option but if I drill a larger hole up through to put in a toggle bolt, where/what would the head attach to?

Hopefully these pictures show the issue. One of the pics is of the entire assembly which is 99 inches long. There are lights at both ends of the assembly. The other photo is of the end that has detached. We contacted Heartland Service and they advise to use a larger screw. There is no stud so...

We may just try a toggle...
We have a 2018 Big Horn 3160EL. The curbside slide has a long wood and light assembly across nearly the entire length of the ceiling of the slide. We drove 1700 miles to winter in Texas and when we arrived, one end of this big light assembly had come unscrewed. There are no studs under this...
