Samsung in a 1995 U280 ?

Planning to install a Samsung in our coach but the plumbing/shut off valves for the washing machine needs to be relocated.  Looks to be a major plumbing job.  What have others done ?  The washing machine hoses go behind the sliding door frame to hook up to the shut off valves under the old Dometic refrigerator.

We had FOT install our Samsung.  Probably the same floor plan as your coach.  They ran new water lines from the original stubs under the fridge, behind the sliding door frame, and put the valves in the corner of the closet above the shelf.  Actually a lot easier to reach in that location, and don't really get in the way of anything.  We always turn the water off when not "doing the wash".  Photos - before, during, and after:

Thank you Chuck and Jeannie.  Yes,  we have the same layout and your pictures answered most of my concerns.  I can move the valves into our closet as we have a stacked washer and dryer.  Did they have to remove the side window to get the units in and out ?  Also our coach has a round table with the mount attached to the wall.  Did that have to be removed from the wall ?

Old fridge went out the entry door - new one (with doors and freezer drawer removed) went in the side window.  EASY! (if you have 4 or 5 husky helpers...)

At the same time we had fridge installed, we also replaced our round table with a side-facing table/computer desk.  So the table was out of the way, but I don't think that would be absolutely necessary.  You could work around it, I think...

I took the walnut panels off the doors - kept them for future projects.  The rest of the old fridge was left at FOT - don't know what they do with them.  Somebody on the Forum one time said "a guy" comes by and hauls off the old "take out" appliances for scrap.
