Aftermarket TV Mounting

My 2020 Wildwood 27RE did not come with a television/mount. Bought a Perlesmith RV Lockable TV wall mount. The trailer has an entertainment center wall with a sticker "mount television here". My question: is the wall hardened to support mounting or is there a stud/rib to mount to?
Additionally, does anyone know the depth of the wall? Mounting screws are 2" long; depth of the bracket & washer is approx 1/8 - 1/4"

No problem mounting it skill-wise but trailer walls are a new frontier. Thanks in advance!

If it says mount TV here then there is a backing plate there best to take a stud finder and test the length and width of the mounting area. I would not use any fastness longer then 1.5 inches most walls are around 2"
