LCD tv mount

The bedroom wall of our Aspen Trails 2760BHS has a label for the placement of a TV mount. It's an outside wall. Any ideas how long the mounting screws should be?
Thanks, Andy

DON'T USE THE ONES THAT COME WITH THE MOUNT!

I think I used 1" possibly 1-1/4". Also make sure there is an actual reinforcing plate where the sticker is. More than one person has found that the sticker is more for decoration than direction. I would try to find a stud closest to the sticker and center your mount up on that.

Thanks, Aaron. That's pretty much what I'm planning on. The stud finder says there is a larger than stud area of blocking (but as you said, it's not precisely where the sticker is located!). I'm going to have to use the same method getting a grab bar in the shower.

Being a ham radio operator, my next challenges will be mounting antennas and running coax inside.

Thanks again.

Here is a link to someone mounting a wifi antenna on the roof, may spark some ideas for you.
