Please don't take offense when others suggest additional options. It's possible you never considered this as an option and folks are just trying to help.
As a direct answer to your question, if the mount says it will support a 32" TV then it will support it. You just have to ensure that the setup you use to secure it to the RV will support the bracket. Since it's your plan to install a 3/4" backer (good wood, not OSB or particle board) you will have more than enough bite to support that bracket. Just be sure the screws are long enough to go through the siding and firmly into the wood. It really should not take more than 4 screws in the corners to give plenty of support. The instructions that come with the bracket, however, will give you the details of what they recommend. Just "assume" that your backer is a wall stud when you are looking at the installation instructions. One Vizio 32" I just checked only weighs 17 pounds without a stand so this should be a really easy project.
