Thumbs down TV Mount in bedroom - 2020 28RL

There is a wall mount sticker on the bedroom wall. My question is do the arrows point where the screw belong or the general area for installation? I plan to put a 32" Smart TV with a wall mount from Best Buy since the area is already prepped with a wall plug and cable connection. Also.. a tech told me the entire wall is plywood. True? What size screws? I just upgraded from a popup and am so looking forward to using my new camper. Thank you!!

I just installed a 32" in my 248RSBW in the cabinet where a tv goes.
It had the same sticker with four arrows but its not exactly clear how far out the screws can go.

I first used a stud finder which found two studs which were about 1 1/2" wide of center from the sticker.
Then I pressed on the wall/inside panel of cabinet and I could tell where it was solid or hollow.
I my case the mounting area was larger than the sticker probably at least 6" square.
I ended up mounting the swing out mount with two 1/4" x 1" lag bolts to one of the studs I found which was to the left of the sticker.
Once you determine where the screw/bolts go drill pilot holes.If you don't the screws could split the wood.

If you are in doubt you can always put up another mounting board across the wall and attach the board to the edges of the wall... You can paint the added board to blend in with your paint scheme...

Tapping on the wall should tell you what is behind the wall...

Some folks like to use these wall mounting screws that spread out behind the wall.… I don't recommend using the toggle type bolts as with those they will drop behind your wall if you remove the screw...

My sticker was almost 6” off from where the backing board was actually located. I was sooo surprised

It's the general area where the mount should go. I have one mounted in that spot in my 2018 28RLS.

We were told during the PDI that there was a 12" square piece of 3/4" plywood behind that sticker, with the sticker in the middle of the plywood. I found that the sticker was not directly centered, but it was close.

I bought this wall mount for our 40" TV. The mount came with 3/8" lag bolts that were 2" long. I used 1 1/2" long, 3/8" lag bolts to keep from piercing the outside wall.

You have to use a stud finder to confirm the hard spot is actually where the sticker says.
