How to insert photo in post?
« on: April 22, 2018, 04:30:31 pm »
I'd like to post a photo of our new 2552, as it has no slide, therefore making room for a long bed on the driver's side and a pocket door rather than the plastic-y folding door.  Our dining room table is 31 inches and there's plenty of room for two. 

I'm sure that there are directions for posting photos somewhere, but where?  Thanks!

Check on the [Additional Options] at the of the dialog/text box.
From there enter the path/file name or select [Choose File] to
use your computer's file access application to select the file/s.

Keep in mind that there is a pretty tight limit of the size of
the graphics.

Hi Pejibaye

It seems there are multiple methods to post a picture.  The only method I am familiar with is as follows.  I work on a Windows computer, not an Apple, so there are likely some minor differences.

1) Post your picture on the internet, the cloud, wherever you post pictures on the world wide web to share with other people.  I think even facebook might work.  If you have never posted any pictures anywhere, then my help stops here.

2) Open the picture in it's own internet window.  Where I post pictures on flickr, I have the option to open the picture at various sizes.  The size that is posting-friendly is medium 640 (640x480) or close to it pending the aspect ratio when the picture was taken.

3) Place your curser over the picture and "right mouse click".  Look in the menu that pops up for "Copy image address" and select it.

4) Now in the work space on the Phoenix forum here, place your curser in your message where you want the picture to be.  Add a blank line above, then select the picture icon.  It will add this:   [ img][ /img].

5) Paste the "image address" right after the first [ img].  Do NOT add spaces.

6) Pending your message and quantity of pictures to post, you may need to add a blank line below it to separate your picture from text and additional pictures.

7) Hit "post" to post your message and the picture is displayed.

Some things that go wrong are...
- Your internet picture is massive or tiny. The size "medium 640" is what you want where your picture is stored on the internet.
- You get an error message, or you see funny characters in your message.  You did not place the internet address after the first [ img]
- Your picture is in the middle of a sentence or otherwise in the wrong place within your message.  Separating the img string with a blank line above and below it assures it is posted in a clean manner.

Ron, I knew you'd have the answer.  We have followed your model and have no slide in our 2552, so I wanted to post to show how much room there is without it.  Thanks much!

I look forward to seeing your no-slide pictures.

We are a small minority when it comes to preferring a no-slide floor plan.  I used to share the benefits of a no-slide, but with predictability the community would hammer me down hard with unneighborly hits.  I figure if I kept bringing that option up for new-comers, I could find my helpful rating in negative territory, ha, ha.

You and I, we have to stick together. :)(:

Ron, we told Earl that we didn't want a slide on our 2552, but were concerned that the size of the table would cramp us.  He said, "Come with me," and took us to a 2552 that was being built with a 31 inch table.  Seating for two only, eliminating one of the "Oh, we'll come with you!" threats.  We are upsizing from a Lance truck camper, so this is already a palace.  Pictures soon, I hope.

The motor home we upsized from Seen Here was likely smaller than your Lance.  Like you say, "Our PC Is A Palace By Comparison".

The slide-out with couch offering didn't meet our needs.  Before our final decision, we happened to sit in a dinette-in-slide-out there at the factory and did not like it's cramped quarters.  We wanted a comfortable roomy dinette ready to use at any time, a "Must Have" item for us.  Having the 3rd captain seat by the door addresses half-a-couch.  We manage well with that.

If we were accommodating 4 people, the slide-out would have been a requirement for sleeping quarters.  But then where do 4 people eat?  We would have then considered a much longer PC to get both the couch/bed and a dinette.

Models 2351 and 2552 might be the only two that if ordered so, can offer a dinette with the benches set farther apart to provide a bigger table and more leg room, but you must give up both the slide-out and pull-out pantry along that wall to achieve it.  Our dinette works well, but would work better yet if bigger like that.

Distance between dinette and counter = 32", which is plenty for us.  (I'm only 5'0"; husband is 5'11'.)  Table extends 31" (from the wall) and is 29" wide.  The total dinette size (from the back of one bench to the back of the other) is 72".  We don't have the pantry (which would be great), but we did gain a long bed on the driver's side and a real pocket door. 

We're heading out for five months in May.  We'll see how this configuration works for us, but I'm betting it will be fun.
