What's behind that trim board?

Does anyone know what is behind that trim board at the crest of a vaulted ceiling covering the marriage seam? My place is a double-wide, and the trim board is starting to sag in a couple places. I thought i could maybe just nail it back up...but I can't tell where the rafters are at. Are the two sets of joists hemmed with a steel cap?...or is it just wood to wood?

ugh. 2x2's?? not even a plate or something? and being i can't see where to drive a couple nails - i run a good chance of splitting out a 2x2.
guess I will just peel it off - and then proceed. I need to know where the trusses are so I dont end up with nails driven into nothing but sheet rock.

It could be 2x2, 2x4,2x6 without pulling the trim there is no way to tell.
