I was able to press on the wall and feel the "soft and hard" spots to
find a stud.
In my trailer, the interior wall studs are wood.
I used a pair of wood screws of the appropriate size and drilled a small
pilot hole to be sure I had actually hit the stud. I used screws long enough
for full depth in the thin stud.
It feels pretty firm to me but I've also added a pair of large cup hooks
on either side of the TV so I can use a bungee cord to hold it firmly
against the wall when we are traveling. I don't think you'd want the TV
to accidentally swing out on the arm while you were driving. A big
bump at that time might pull it off the wall!
