Wall Shelf

I would like to have a small folding wall shelf at the back wall of my RV, between the couches, not more than 10 inches deep. Is it easily possible to fix folding shelf brackets to the back wall just by screwing them into the wall? The shelf does not need to hold a lot of weight; I just want to have something there for i. e. a bottle of wine and two glasses.

If possible I would like to use these brackets:

Nick,
Do the same to would in a stick and brixka House.  Use a stud finder to find the studs to screw into.  The stud finder should also help confirm no electricity in that spot.
Make sure screws are not so long that they go thru the stud and out the other side (the window gives you an idea of thickness -  stay on the conservative side).

Thanks. I did not realize that there are studs. Now I only need to find my stud finder ( ;D ).

Look for vertical lines of small nail heads, painted the color of the wall. They mark the locations of the wall studs and were hammered in while the panel's adhesive was wet, to hold the panel in place during the adhesive's curing period.
