I’m planning on putting some cabinets up in my trailer... I’m looking for mounting suggestions so they don’t vibrate off... not sure what the back of the cabinets are made of.
Lowe’s has these on sale right now 36-in W x 12-in H x 12-in D Unfinished Door Wall Cabinet

I was thinking of putting a piece of 1x4 inside the cabinet on the back wall of it and screw it into the trailer through it.

I just screwed mine to the wall with several screws, my cabinets were the type that goes behind a toilet I found in the bath section at lowes,about 75.00 each but it looks more finished than if I tried to make them myself, they were light enough I held them in place and screwed them to the wall my myself
they are only about 8 inches deep and weren't made to hold a lot they have a open bottom which is nice, they were cheaply made but had nice fronts and hardware.
the main reason I bought these were because they were being used in a side wall and I didn't want them to stick out to far.
I used 2 side by side one holds folded towels and the other I took out the shelves and hang my cooking pots and pans.

I had those exact cabinets installed in a work trailer. Screwed directly to the metal studs with 1/4" self tapping screws (6) per cabinet and never had an issue with them. Had boxes of nail gun nails, nuts, bolts, etc... in them.
