Wall-mount TV in small travel trailer ?

Hi, I'm just wondering how do you wall-mount your TV in a small travel trailer? I have no reinforced wall surface to install a swivel wall-mount bracket for my 19 inch LED TV. I'm wondering if I can put a reinforcement wood piece over the wall, glue the wood piece with industrial adhesive maybe, then screw the wall-mount bracket through the wood piece and into the wall surface? Also I install the wall-mount bracket over a countertop surface, maybe I can screw the bottom of wood piece onto the countertop with metal "L" brackets too?

My TV is very lightweight since it's a 19 inch LED (under 10 pounds) and the wall-mount bracket itself is pretty light too (2-3 pounds) since it's all aluminium.

Any other suggestions? Pictures of your own setup would be appreciated :B

    Okay, so you use the smallest "Molly" bolts and do you glue the wood piece on the wall surface?

    Just one more rookie question for you! What material are used for the interior RV walls? Is it an aluminium sheet covered with a wallpaper or is it a kind of luan wood panel or other material? I'm not sure yet and I own my first TT for only a month yet!!

    Thats what we did just mount a back board for the TV mount to screw into. Worked well for us.. I used MOLLY BOLTS to attach the backboard to the thin RV walls.

    Here's a couple of photos from google images...
