Well, I finished my project. Some of you suggested a strip of metal or wood the outer underbelly covering; that would probably have worked too, but I decided to cut away the styrofoam and bolt just through the subfloor. It would have been too major a project to try and find a joist and put something in that would attach to that.
A few photos as promised.
Here's what the side attachment point looked like before I started:
The manufacturer had just a couple of sheet metal screws going through the side of the seat back and into the space shown here between the two wall uprights. My last 2 attempts to fix it were just attempts to do the same thing and expecting different results. Glue on the wall is also from my previous attempts.
And the "core" I pulled out from the underside using a hole saw:
I discovered that the subfloor in my TT is only 1/4" thick:E! Glued to that is 1 1/2" styrofoam, then 1/8" luan, then a black fabric that looks like landscaping fabric. I'm hoping it's waterproof. Here's one of the holes I cut:
