Years ago I mounted a small TV on an interior wall separating the living area from the front bedroom in an Alpenlite fifth wheel. I found the studs in the wall and attached a piece of 1/2” plywood on the bedroom side and living room side...basically sandwiching the wall between plywood spanning the studs I found. I finished the plywood to match the wall (may have been white paint not stain - now that I think about it). Then I used bolts long enough to go thru both pieces if plywood to mount the TV bracket, and I had big washers on the bolts. The plywood gussets and the washers act to spread the load across the studs so that there was no weight on the thin wall paneling. This was back in the day before the thin light TVs that we have now so it was some significant weight on the wall. I added a strap to hold it in place for travel. We enjoyed it for years.
