TV mounting in bedroom

We recently purchased a 2022 FR Artic Wolf 287BH fifth wheel. In the master bedroom there is a location to mount a TV (see attached pic) but when I press on the “TV Mounting guide” sticker, the area very hollow. Looking for anyone who has ran into a similar situation. The panel does not seem sturdy enough to support a TV. Thanks for the help. Click image for larger version

How much deflection do you seem to have?

I had a unit where the backing plate/studs were about a half inch behind the wall covering. A small pin hole and a straightened out paper clip at each of the mounting holes verified this.

Granted, once I attached the mount, the panel bowed in a bit but the TV held until we sold the R/V.

That was it! The panel was about a half off of the studs/backing plate. Thank you very much!!
