This is how I fixed a torn out lower awning leg mount on my little nitrous toy hauler.
You can drill a hole slightly smaller than the bolt pattern and make a plug of wood to go between the walls if you don't like the foam idea.
I would first take off the cover plate for the upper seat belt adjuster that resides on the space between the slider and the window and see what's in there like a hellacious metal bar or wood beam I could attach to.
Yup, I'm sitting in the 24.1 doing mods and typing.
I'm right now building a cover for the exposed electrical panel in the cubby below the drivers seat. Laminate wiring diagram will be glued right to it....

I like the foam idea. I wonder if that would be strong enough to hold with just the four deck screws or if I still need to go through the interior wall with bolts.
I know the wood plug would do that but I'm a little scared to make a hole that large just yet.
