We have the 211 RD, and love it. Use a stud finder, or tap on the wall at the point of the mounting sticker, and verify that you do, indeed, have a board under there. The stickers are known to be just a rough estimate of where a backboard is, or is supposed to be. We were lucky, it was right there.
Open an outlet cover, or just look at the window to see just how shallow that wall is. Find the largest diameter wood screw you can find that will fit into the mounting bracket, but still be shorter than 1" or at most, 1 1/4". Double-check, and triple check. If you punch through the outer wall you will be miserable. Put a tape on your drill bit to mark a "no further than this much" point. Start with a small pilot hole, then go to the size big enough for the screw, but still be tight enough to catch the threads. Do one corner, then use a level on the mounting bracket to mark exactly the diagonal corner. Once you are happy with those two, you can drill the remaining two corners. Use washers if need be on top of the bracket, to shorten the distance the screw goes in. You get one chance.
After you finish, and get the TV mounted, here's what we do for transport. The Styrofoam "ends" that protect the TV in the shipping box, slide on the sides of the TV, and wedge the TV against the wall so there is no movement. Once parked, we just slide the foam sides off, and stuff them above a window valence. Good luck!
