Dallas, it looks like you went with the 19 cf Samsung. We checked the outside measurements and discovered that the 22 would fit. OMC is installing for us shortly after the first of the year. Thank you for the info you provided.

The 22 is the same size vertically and width wise. The reason I choose the 19.7 CU Ft is that it is only 24 inch deep and I wanted it flush with the existing cabinet. The Samsung Stainless Steel refrigerators are painted on the sides so you will have a few inches of grey showing if you go with the 22 CU Ft.
The 22 CU Ft would fit good in my motorhome too because there is plenty of room to go out and not get in the way of the hallway. The 19.7 has so much more room than the 12 foot Norcold and it is really energy effecient too. All LED lighting inside.

BTW, We have basically the same floor plan, If you do go with the 22 CU FT and you are keeping the lower drawers in the cabinet below the existing refrigerator cabinet, you will need to build out the base about 4 inches further to accomidate the front rollers/legs on the refrigerator. I built my shelf and drawers as high as possible above the floor so that the french door would just clear the shelf extending beyond that cabinet to the right as you can see in the photo section of my improvements. Perhaps the cabinet installers can build out your drawers further so that you can still access them on the floor with the 22 CU Ft Samsung refrigerator that will stick out into the room about 3 inches more than the 19.7 CU Foot samsung.
My wife is thrilled with the new refrigerator. Just like having a normal kitchen now. It has a super cooling feature for both freezer and refrigerator. Handy if you leave it off when not using the MH and then decide to go on a trip, you can have it cool down real quick. Each section has it's own temperature feature (two independant cooling systems) and you can turn on or off the ice maker on the digital panel also. If you like your ice cream a certain temperature you can set the freezer at any temp. The digital readout tells you what temp each compartment is and what temp you have set them at. IF the power goes out, you do not need to reset the temp when it comes back on. It also has a econo feature button if you are not opening the door very often that uses even less energy to power the refrig, I guess it does not cycle as often in that mode with the defrost feature.

They both will fit in place of a Norcold 1200LRIM gas electric refrig but the Height will need to be about 5 inches greater than the opening. The only difference between the two depends upon if you want the Samsung to fit flush with the existing cabinet or you have room to have it stick out another 3 inches.
