Tips for finding tv mounting area

We have a 22 Sprinter 32 BH fifth wheel. I am trying to find the tv mounting location in the master bedroom. there is no sticker on the wall.
The outlet and cable outlets are on the ceiling near the right had wall as you walk into the bedroom, I have tapped and pushed on the wall near the outlets and cannot find anything. There is a strip of seem tape on the wall panel near the outlet, I assume this may be a stud location? but I am not sure.
Does anyone have any tips on finding the mounting area? Thanks

Short of purchasing a stud finder the only other thing I can suggest is to find photos or videos of the same year/model and watch for a view of the mounting area and see if there's a sticker to be seen. This will at least let you know if you are looking in the right area.

You can use a very small ga brad and tap it into the wall. You can use a putty stick to fill any holes. We use an 18gauge 1 9/16” brad.

On my FIL’s trailer, I used a stud finder, located the studs, then obtained a couple of mounting rails that worked with a TV swivel mount. Screwed the rails to the studs that were no where close to where the TV mount had to go, and then attached the mount to the rails. Made for a very solid installation.

I have cut plywood, covered it in black felt. Screw that to the wall where you want to mount the tv and attach the tv mount to it. Spreads the load.
