Easily determined using a stud finder.
Agreed, I literally just did this project in my trailer. I originally intended on doing a custom backboard on the wall, with many screws, then attach the tv mount to the board. I went through the process of fabricating the backboard, sanding and staining, then when I came out to the garage the next day, I determined I was not sold on installing it, and thought it wouldn't look good. So, grabbed my studfinder and sure enough found some(albeit narrow), studs. 2 screws on top one in center bottom of my mount worked perfectly. Note I did only install a 22" LCDTV, so, it's quite light. I plan on upgrading to a 32"+ next season and putting the 22" in the bedroom. So I'll definitely be reconsidering the strength of these 3 - 1" screws on a narrow stud when I install something larger. I was thinking, maybe one of those ;Quake Straps; attached to the back of the tv, then attached under the overhead cabinet? Hmmm, might not look too tacky and might provide enough support for a heavier tv, using the existing bracket.
