Television mounting

I have a 2007 Fleetwood Prowler TT. Walls (interior and exterior are constructed of a laminate with a center similar to Styrofoam coffee cups. I would like to mount my 32" led tevision on the forward wall of the slide-out. All the mounting devices I've seen require a solid backing to bolt / screw to. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to securely mount something to this type of wall construction. I'm concerned using a backing on the outside of the slide-out because of potential damage to the gaskets when moving the slide in and out.

Ideas, 1. Fasten a piece of finished plywood floor to ceiling to spread the load out. Then fasten your bracket to that. Is there a bottom and/or a top "plate" in the wall? 2. Or use screws with large flat heads on the outside. We have some pieces that stick out on the walls of our slideout and the seals slide over these.

I think post #2 has a good idea. Liquid Nails would be a good idea too. Maybe you could through-bolt (screw) using SS trim washers on outside. The seal should pass over the screw heads without a problem.

There is probably some type of framing inside the walls that are metal or wood studs similar to a house that a couple strips of wood could attach to for the base plate.
