Where to mount TV?

I have an 87' 23ft Jayco TT and would like to mount a 32" TV. The preferred location unfortunately backs up against the shower wall. I think I could mount against that (assuming there's wood framing between this wall, or at the ceiling above that wall. Suggestions? Concerns?

since there were no flat screen TV's in 1987 I doubt there is any blocking for TV mounting anywhere in a TT.

My suggestion would be to get a stud finder to see if you have any studs in that wall to mount to. If you find one, check it several times up and down the wall to be sure you are getting a good reading. Mark it in pencil on both sides of the stud. This is your mounting location to insert lag bolt or screws. Be careful not to use one that goes thru your wall and out the other side, although it may make a good hanger in your shower. LOL

The key for me was to mark the stud location up and down the wall to be sure I was in the right place. Then I drilled a pilot hole to test for wood shavings. If all looks positive then, secure your TV mount and you are good to go.

Happy RVing,
Jeff
