Title: New Samsung
Post by: Steve & Ginny Hill on August 23, 2014, 11:28:22 am
Here's our new Samsung residential unit. Did all the work myself. Had a couple friends help with the window removal/replacement, and getting the units through the window opening. I saved the wood door inserts from the Dometic, and made trim pieces. I don't consider myself in the same league with many of the craftsmen on this forum, but darned if I ain't proud of the way this turned out.

Sorry. Don't know why the pics posted on their side. They were right side up when I view them.

I guess you used an Ipad or phone to take them. I believe there is a quick way to make sure they come out right but as I use a camera  I cannot test it. I cannot believe that in this day and age and the cost of those things this problem is not fixed. Maybe if you send them to your computer first then rotate then post it will be ok. Would be nice to see them right way up!

Photos from iPhone or iPad.

Be sure to take photos with the iPhone or iPad horizontal (landscape) with the home button to the right.  This will give you orientation that downloads correctly.  Apple devices add orientation info to the picture data so that they always show up correctly on Apple devices.  Shown on anything else and they maybe goofy.

We got a Samsung RF197 last week.  Works great in the shop.  Putting it into the coach week of Labor Day.

I always add the photos to my iPhoto library anyway, so I just export them from iPhoto and they show up correctly. Since the iPhone or iPad always flips the image so that it looks correctly oriented because of the position sensors, they often are upside down or sideways when posted directly from the phone because the browser doesn't support the extras like orientation data or location data and that gets stripped from the file. I imagine that it is probably the same from other mobile devices, but I have no way to verify.

Nope! I flipped it on its side, and nothing changed.

Steve,

Just say that you were testing to see if the door magnets would hold. It still looks like a great instillation.

Pamela, we're happy with it, but I still bow at the feet of Acousticart, and some of the other folks on this forum whose skill amazes me.

Very professional looking job.  Sometimes we surprise ourselves when we take our time and think things through.  Nice to save the coach bucks for an emergency.

Thanks for the pictures

Install looks great!

Rotating the pictures on your apple device doesn't change how they upload.  The device has to be oriented correctly.

Great job, on our coach, there is a short wall beside the refrigerator which would keep the left door from opening all the way.

I think it looks great. You should be proud. I don't think I have the ability to do  what you and others have done with refrigerators.
