Welcome to JOF and congratulation on the new TT!
Don't trust the sticker - use a stud finder to verify where the studs are. I've mounted TVs twice, and both times the sticker was out of place. Your idea of a plate behind the TV is a good one, but I'd be sure it was fastened to studs as I personally wouldn't trust hollow wall fasteners to hold the weight of a TV in a TT. Not sure where the TV mounts in your particular rig, but if it's an outside wall be careful that you don't penetrate the outside wall with screws that are too long.
In my case, I bought a wall mounting bracket that was long enough to mount to two different studs and hung the TV from there. I don't remember what size screws I used, sorry. So far we've made it four years and ~20k miles with no problems.
