Can't say for all MH/TT but on our MH they are very evenly spaced. Most all panelling is in 4' widths so has to be pretty close every 4' ๐

Once you find one stud they should be 16" on centre.
The rest of your advice is sound, but I disagree that you can expect to find studs evenly spaced.

Has anyone mounted a flat screen TV on a swivel mount? I am concerned as to how to actually mount this because i am not familiar with whats behind the walls (e.g. i need it to be string enough to take the movements). I see allot of people mount them on the cabinet but in my case this is not an option. Of the two walls I can mount it on one is the wall around the fridge and seems weak and the other is the main wall. I suspect the later is the best to mount it on but not sure if either is strong enough.. Any suggestions?
I have a Coachman Freedom Express 17SDX.

I had the same concern. So what I did is use some left over 3/4" melamine and cut it to fit between the top of our wardrobe cabinet and the bottom of the upper cabinets up against the ceiling where the TV will go. This allowed me to attach the board via L brackets to the upper and lower cabinet (so nothing into the wall). Then I mounted the swivel mount to the board. Works well. And, since our trailer's cabinets are done in white, the white board matches pretty well.
I can provide a picture if desired.

Sounds like an interesting idea. I would love to see pictures.

@mcallough There are wall anchors made for hollow walls that may help.
Some are a toggle bolt where there is a ridged wing(s) that will spread out on the inside of the wall.
There are anchors that you insert in a hole and then tighten a screw and it has a cage that then bends behind the wall. Once compressed all the way you can remove the screw and reinsert as you need to.
You might be able to use well nuts, these are a metal sleeve and a rubber insert that when screwed down will expand to hold. These would probably be the weakest method.
Screws with the plastic inserts I wouldn't use, they just don't hold well enough. Someone used these to hold a flip up table and small bar to the wall in our MH and over time they have come loose.
Might have to mount a larger piece of wood to the wall, then mount the tv bracket to that. Best would be if the wood was mounted into two studs (one on either end). Studs in most rv's are pretty easy to find.
