Mounting TV on roof of RV with Aluminum studs

Hi, we have a 2004 Colorado 33RL 5th wheel. It is new to us, and we were told that the studs are aluminum.

I'd like to root mount a TV on the bedroom. There's a large window that is keeping me from wall mounting it. However, I'm not sure if the studs would support it, and, if they do, what type of screws to use.

The TV itself isn't heavy. It weighs about 5 pounds. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

    Good idea! I have something like that for my computer monitors so that I can just pop them off when I travel.

    Let me get on Amazon and see what I can find.
