Where can I install tv

I have a 2012 cougar 30rls. I would like to install a flat screen tv in bedroom. I have a cable connection located on the ceiling. There is no identifying spots as where I can install swivel arm bracket. Can anyone help?

You would want to find where the metal frame studs are and use them for the anchor screws. One way to know is on a damp dewy morning you can see the frame outlines on the outside of the rig. Then maybe measure how far from the window or something to know where inside to drill.

Another option maybe a metal detector.

Haven't done it myself just throwing out some suggestions.

Mounted a 19" LED using a swivel mount I bought at WalMart. Used my stud finder to find the metal stud and used some 1" self tapping screws. Don't use too long of a screw, or it will come out the other side(outside!). Tv stays "swiveled out" about 10" from the wall all the time, and the mount has never gotten loose or even swiveled while towing.

I have a stud finder that works with metal. After locating the wall studs on either side of my ceiling cable/power outlet I happily discovered that there is an aluminum plate between them. That doesn't mean yours has this, but buy or borrow the proper stud finder and mounting is a snap. It would be VERY nice of the manufacturers to put a peel off sticker on the wall indicating mounting locations.
