Wondering how to put one of these in on a flat wall with no stud close by, need to put a TV on a wall but don't want to bolt through the wall to the bath room.
Interior walls could be 3/4" thick or 1-1/2" thick. Ours are all 1-1/2" except for cabinet walls. A bathroom wall can be thicker because there is a vent pipe to the roof in it. If there is an electrical outlet/switch, thermostat, etc. on the wall, remove it to see what the depth is. A wall with a door in it is also thicker.
To find studs on an interior wall, press the wall paneling in to see where it flexes , and where it doesn't is likely where the studs are. Look for the telltale sign of staples in a vertical row. A stud finder may or may not work (have not had luck myself).
What many have done where there is no factory backer plate is use a piece of plywood to span 2 studs and then install a TV mount of your choice to the plywood. TVs used in RVs these days are pretty lightweight.
There are a few locking TV mounts for RVs. Mor/Ryde makes a nice one and is what I used in our bedroom. There is one that is not very good so be careful what you get.
