Afraid to Mount TV bracket

Our travel trailer, a Starcraft 21FBS has an area marked on the wall where a TV mounting bracket should go. It is on an exterior wall. My husband is afraid to mount the TV bracket because the screws are longer than the wall is thick. He thought about using a piece of 1 x 4 to put between the bracket and the wall, but he is still afraid of drilling to the outside of the camper.

I don't really want to spend the money to pay the local RV dealer to install the TV mounting bracket. Any suggestions on what to do? I could only find info on installing the bracket on an inside wall in previous forum posts.

Thanks for any help!

Is your Starcraft 21FBS a "stick and tin" model or the laminated fiberglass and aluminum frame? Not sure if that would make a difference with the type of screws you used to mount the TV.

My Jayco Jay Flight 23RB is "stick and tin" so I'd probably used wood screws to mount a TV, unless Jayco advised differently.

You may want to double check with the manufacturer to make sure.
