Lots of people use the idea Westend mentions. You can also use a stud finde to fint the stud and mount the bracket. I used small lag screws. I also have a 23" flatscreen that travels well while mounted. Whatever you do, don't mount anything using pop rivets.
I don't know what to make of your suggestions. Stud finder is pretty much useless in a camper with plywood walls and fiberglass exterior and I've used pop rivits hundreds of times. Camper manufacturers use them all the time. I don't know yet if they would work in this application and yes it would be ideal to drive lags into studs but finding them could be difficult and I'm unsure of the thickness in both locations.
