Glad you got it installed OK. Doesn't make sense that they wouldn't have a stud and decent sized backboard for a TV mount centered in your entertainment area. Sounds like there was a backer board but just not as big as you were lead to believe and not centered?
BTW, Forest River makes A LOT of different brands of varying quality and price points. Your Wildwood X-Lite is just one of them, so saying "FR" (Forest River) paints a very big brush across all brands. That's not to say some other brands wouldn't also steer you wrong on that kind of inquiry but some are better than others.
