We always packed tooooo much stuff even on two month trips..but oh the memories..22 foot travel trailer and the queen bed inner spring mattress us the best..we bought it used in 2018 even camped during covid 55 days through Michigan and Wisconsin greetings from NC and just one more mile
You had me at hidden trash can and moving silverware tray!!😮
Before buying an RV watch Steve Lehto's video about the lack of legal recourse about warranties in the buyers contract!
I love the Delta 262rb! I bought one of the first ones!
That’s so cool! ❤❤❤
Enjoy your review of the Alliance Delta. We have an Alliance Paradigm-fifth wheel, model 365RD. We love our Alliance. Two years ago we went and visited the mother ship and took a tour of the factory. Glad you guys liked the RV show. How fun. What we do in our fifth wheel, when we are parked we put washers with felt pads on all the magnets for the cabinet doors so we don’t have to pull so hard to get the cabinets open. It is a check list item to ensure their removal on travel day. Have a great rest of your week. Take care.
Love watching y'all! We feel like we have a pretty great couples camper-Cruiser MPG 2550RB, we fell in love with a king size bed, huge bathroom & an outdoor kitchen (we didn't know we now wouldn't live without). Happy Camping!!😊
How do you like your MPG quality wise? Besides this Alliance, MPGs 2700TH is on our radar. This toy hauler would make it convenient to take our Harley and ebikes along with us
My wife and I saw this one in Greensboro, NC in January. Last day of the show and were about to leave when we checked down "one more aisle", and there it was. Fell in love with it.
I'm not sure if you looked, but behind the TV when you swing it out, is even MORE storage. It's pretty amazing.
This is a very nice rv for sure. Glad you found one you love!
LOVE that big outdoor under dinette storage 🥰🥰
Grand design 22 mle is a fantastic trailer
We just bought our first tv thanks to you the tracer 19.0 brle and we love it !!
Love and appreciate your reviews in this channel!! You have my husband and I now considering purchasing our first RV and using so much of your info!
Matt and I loved this one too. It was in our top 3.
Sooo much better with all the additions 😊
Great tour & floor plan. The new Alliance Delta travel trailers are great and rated for full time rv living. We love our Alliance Paradigm 340RL 5th wheel. Safe travels ❤
Awesome video guy's! We love your channel.
Seeing all this makes me itch to get ours out soon!!!
I’m currently in love with the heritage Glenn 24RDHL
It’s beautiful, thank you!
All interior lift up cabinet doors should have hinges that hold the doors open.
Hey guys, Jayco has a very similar rig. We have the Whitehawk 27RB. We love it!!
Great review!! Very well thought out camper for sure. Can’t wait to see your review after the new one arrives!! 🤣🤣
Alliance has really stepped up the travel trailer game. We bought an Avenue a few years ago and that was a game changer for mid level 5th wheels. Also, did you even notice the flush floor slide? There's no lip from the slide floor to the main floor...that was a necessity for us. Great review and thanks for sharing.
Y’all need to get tv trays. We just bought a new Alliance 5th wheel 26 RD and the storage access from the outside is perfect for our camp chairs outdoor carpet and so many other things. The blackout shades are game changers. Best sleep EVER!
Love this RV. great review
Ah! I’d love if this had a fireplace below the tv ..near the floor..That would have been so perfect! This is a beautiful travel trailer!
I love that bathroom ❤. I’d add a shower dispenser on the shower wall for shampoo, conditioner and body wash. We have one in our TT and had one in our Class C. No bottles in the shower.
It’s a beautiful unit. They’ve done a great job with storage and the bathroom is a win. The storage above the bed, microwave & tv need struts though. Thanks for this video.
I love this one!!
Great review! Have no fear----that's a tankless water heater!
great review, I used to have a pop-up tent trailer and loved it but got rid of it years ago
Y'all are a super cute and fun couple! Love this review! I think we are going to get one too!!!
We ❤ our stable steps!!!!
Wow, first time giving you guys a thumbs up!
Well done on your video drops, great content, well edited, enjoy following!
This almost has me convinced to buy one! 😂😂
Oh yeah that slide height nice for hubby.... I'm 5'3", so not a problem😂
I have been looking at the Imagine 2600 RB but I love this Alliance!
Honestly, if I was buying one today, I’d go with alliance. We saw the 2024 2600 and the alliance is nicer, had more features and is cheaper. Also, the more research I do on them, the more impressed I am with Alliance
We love our Alpha Wolf 26RB-L for a couples camper. But the new Brinkley 285 is pretty amazing as well. 🐾🐾
You got purple shoes Joe? That reminds me of Donny Osmond’s purple socks. I love it! ❤
We’re happy with our Freedom Express 252 rb. But congratulations 🎉🎊🎈
Nice to have built in TPMS 👍
Great walk through! I was wondering if you looked at the more recent models in Grand Design's line? We have a 2021 Imagine MLE22, which is smaller than Elinore, but it has most of the things you're loving about this unit. The roller black out shades, the cubby beside the headboard, complete with usb ports, the reading lights, the under-bed storage with a sliding box, the overhead cabinet doors that swing up, the large drawer under the stove, and lighter cabinet finishes. I just love Grand Design with their generous warranty and great customer service. But this rig is beautiful for sure! I love the roomy dining seating especially. Thanks for taking us along and sharing your excitement for this rig. You guys are the best!
We did but don’t film any this year since there weren’t a lot of change from last year. Also, if I were to buy a new RV, it would be an alliance since I like what the company is doing. They seem to be much more customer oriented, kinda like where grand design used to be
The 2024 imagine has major upgrades including that dimmer switch. I have the 3100RD.
You didn't mention the fact the Delta is a 101" wide body trailer -- that gives you 5 extra inches side to side vs the GD Imagine.
We love our Alliance -- the company is great.
Did you become Allies at the show? We were Alliance owner volunteers talking with prospective buyers at the show. We had a blast!
No we did not purchase one. I’d love to get one but right now we need our GD for RV unplugged. We’ve done so much work to our rig. The only way I’d upgrade is if we can remove all my batteries and utilize it the new RV. Not to mention we just installed the truma water heater
You talked me into buying one
We love the Alliance 262. We have a Winnebago 2831RB. Nearly the same floor plan. We like our king bed in our Winnie. Also our Winnie has 3008 pounds of carrying capacity. The Alliance 262 only has 1500+\-. Love the outside awning and slide switches on the Alliance.
Yeah, we saw the winne last year
You can also control the awning abd slides from the outside
Those overhead cubbies need struts tho😅
I love this trailer. I can't find one in Texas to go look at.
Love delta
I have the Rockwood 2606WS which is a similar floor plan. I love my walk through pantry and wardrobe slide....and 2024 has a 60x80 queen bed.
I like the Alliance bathroom counter top, but I prefer my larger glass door shower and I do want door on my linen to keep dust and pets out of the closet. Overtime that plastic shower door is going to crack from heat and use.
Rockwood also has superior torsion suspension.
Alliance is nice and has some higher end amenities compared to other brands with this layout. However Rockwood components, standard solar package, inverter, and construction are higher end for longevity.
Nice trailer. We have same Imagine trailer as you. Like it but also like the features of this Delta. I wish Delta would have a system to hold doors open above bed and tv. Looks like you need to hold them up. Thanks for the review.
Yeah. We didn’t realize that until afterwards. They are soft close hinges. There’s pros and cons. Having to not stay up is great for travel days but holding it up stinks. You can fix that with a $3 hinge from amazon
I actually love the crappy Serta rv mattress that came in our camper! It's half the depth of a real mattress, and hard as a brick, I sleep like a baby on it 🤣🥰
Lol! I tend to agree with you! I’m on my 5th trailer and have yet to “upgrade “ the “crappy” mattress that came with any of them! I add a mattress topper and it works fine for me! Oh and it’s not a high dollar topper either!! 😂 I usually don’t do any upgrades to my RVs, I think sometimes it helps to decrease the value when you “personalize” something to work for you!
I love the rear bathrooms or walk through bathrooms because they are so much more spacious.
We are looking for something less than 30’ total
The alliance 262rb is less than 30’ total. There are smaller campers but not as nice. We have some more videos of smaller couples campers coming
nice review. We are picking up our Delta 292RL tomorrow. We are moving from a 2015 5th wheel so there is less storage but lots more amenities with the Alliance (and no internal stairs). We like the 12v fridge but I’m not too sure about the on demand water heater. Our Delta has the sink in an island which we are used to and we got the dining booth rather than the free standing dinette which we had in our 5th. We have two chihuahua mixes so we liked the no carpet and no floor vents which we have had them snag their tags in. The 292 has an electric fireplace which we love and which saved a lot of propane in our old 5th.Also it’s set up for a full queen rather than an rv queen mattress.
I love the 292RL but it wouldn’t work for us. We park our rig on the side of our house and because of the slide on the camping side, we’d never be able to get into the kitchen area to prep for a trip. The way we travel, I want access to the kitchen and bathroom when we are on the road. If you don’t care about that, I think it’s one of the best couples campers and is big enough for full timers.
We have an on demand water heater in our current rig and it’s amazing. You can take a 20 minute shower and always have hot water.
Looks like the designers went for a few tours of Grand Design imagines, and got some ideas!
The U part of the dinette is for me pets😂😅😂
We own a Twilight Signature 2620 ( Ms Daisy) which is similar .
Floor plans are dictated by personal preference - Every successful plan has Clones Quickly ? Company Reputation- Dealer Reputation - Reliability Reputation - Dealer Availability - Value and Price - All Come into Play ? They All look Great on the Showroom Floor ! Do Your Homework and Choose Wisely ! 🤗
Incredible upgrades, Maybe when you win RV Unplugged you can upgrade from Elenore and let someone else enjoy her! Thanks for sharing!
That would be nice. Though I’d probably take my battery system with me. Unless the buyer would be willing to pay for it
There’s storage behind the tv you didn’t see or mention, too. It’s a great rig.
We didn’t see that
Awesome "real" solar system with MPPT controller and great place for your battery(ies) and an inverter charger. Use the Renogy model and their One Core and for a couple of thousand $ you have a Smart Home that you can monitor and control remotely.
If you swing the TV out, there is cubby storage behind it.
You can store that heavy 13" lodge cast iron skillet in that oven.Or warm up some pizza or bake bacon.
I love the fireplace in my Kodiak. Nice but not as nice as my 261rbsl
Great Video. my Con is I don't like the bathroom at the other end of trailer, it should be next to the bathroom. I don't like U-shape booths. I always said get rid of those useless ovens and replace with a Convection/Micro wave oven. Pros, love the tires, kitchen cabinets, bathroom, pass-thru storage, hidden hinges on cabinets, nightstands. Great trailer floor plan except for the bathroom location.
That bathroom storage is amazing!! Beautiful big bathroom and shower. Girls have SO much stuff we need to hide in the bathroom storage space. I,like the towel storage. Just fold your towels in thirds. Like the fact you can’t see through the shower door if someone else needs to brush their teeth.
The night stands by the beds are great! Love having a drawer. Hanging space is very very limited, (negative), why do they insist on putting the cheapest mattresses in RV’s! (Negative)
Great kitchen space as with all RV kitchens, could always used more storage. Can never find enough room for your baking dishes. Three drawers just doesn’t cut it. Hope there is more room for Crock Pot, Electric FryPan, maybe under dinette is storage.
All in all great RV, the couple talking , not so much.
Thanks for the comment. Manufacturers use crappy mattresses because it saves them money and they know everyone changes them out. I love the fact you went through all that and then had to make a dig at the end.
Maybe You guys should take a look at the Delta 252RL ! It has the dinette you like plus a fireplace !
Yes, we are looking for one. I've seen some of the pictures and videos but we have yet to find one to actually go inside
I just found you guys & I like what I see, and if it helps, I'd sign if I were you, but, get it your way, that dinner can be switched out no problem, and if you want a battery set up talk to Alliance, they will help you!
We have twin beds and i love them. i wish more Rv's had the option for twins. Also can't you remove the micro wave and upgrade to a combo unit? micro/convection/Air fryer.
That's the only thing our cougar 22mls lacks~an outdoor kitchen!
Poor Eleanor she's feeling betrayed watch out for her shenanigans when boondocking lol
Do not like the toilet on other side of Rv. At nighttime, I like to get up and use bathroom without having to walk thru entire RV. Bath for me has to be close to bedroom. Here’s my little tip :: put a large sponge, or towel, 😊❤under sinks and bath. IF there is ever a leak. It will absorb the water before it starts Rv damage. Happy Trails Michelle Greenville. I full time RV too.
I almost went by this video, I’m seasonal & don’t use my camper to travel, glad I was cooking / had my elbows deep into a recipe and didn’t want to stop to clean up to push buttons-lol. Our 2020 destination model is ok, but we sometimes want to take it out to travel a bit. Loved a “real” review, not another 100K camper that someone buys, who has seemingly disposable $$, no other toys to enjoy or the worst; out to impress the campground or their home neighborhood. So happy to see this 2024 actually has cabinets that have color throughout the unit, backlighting around it as well. Many we have looked at have white white white everything… 2 Krazy Kampers, you must use your camper too.. have 2 black dogs. Plus, one passionate inside cook who really doesn’t like toting food outside for every meal when relaxing at camp, then stuck with the easy bake oven - yikes. Nice that there is finally no carpets!
I’m so impressed with the water heater controls in the bathroom! I always forget to start mine up to get a shower lol!! Speaking of shower, you should try the shower rod hanging in the back, some dollar tree hooks & a mesh bag; voila your stuff is off the floor and not at the ceiling. I also have extra hooks for towels / swimsuits to dry too.
I could go on, you have shown so many amenities on this travel trailer and a company I’ve never heard of. I am now looking at their travel trailers, to leave site as well as it seems companies forget what destination people are looking for - to get away to live for a 6 Ohio frost and fire months. I’d say you did a great job showing some great amenities, style inside and out, interior decor that one can actually use and more. We may just try finding Alliance in our area, thanks to your video!
If you’re looking for a couples camper, Alliance has 3 more. We have a walkthrough of one of them coming out today and then we are going to try a look at the other two later this week at an RV show.
WOW 😮 can't believe that price!!!!
My biggest coin with that rig would be that it has no factory solar. I'd want at least 400watts and inverter
What I don't see in the Lavy room is a hand towel ring for vanity, or hooks or something for bath towels, clothes ect. Should have no less then 3 hooks.
We can put our slides out with our phone app (in Command system)
Thanks for the video. We have a 2019 GD 2500RL that we really enjoy and can't find anything to compare it to. However, Looking at the Alliance line makes us think on a possible replacement for our 2500RL. Joe, if you replace your pleated shades please do a video as our shades are junk and I too would like to replace them.
I’m working on it’s. I may change them out after RV unplugged. Evidently alliance makes a 252rl which is the same as the 2500 from GD. I’d love to look at it since I’m very impressed with alliance
Love your review. Just got a tent to get out and camp locally in south Florida while I search for an Aliner Ranger 10 bunk model. I need 2 sleeping spaces one for me and one for my 9 1/2 year old son. AC and heat. Dorm style fridge. Keeping it keto. I live in an HOA townhouse community. Moving is not possible at this time. If It can fit it in my pseudo one car garage and close the door I can have it. This is the only hard side pop-up camper. I could find online and through CZcams videos that is approx 7 feet wide and 13 feet long which includes the trailer. It will fit in my garage once everything is out of it except my laundry area and the cats litter box area. Everything else can pretty much go. I’m working on that now.
The a-liners are nice. I’d live to review them. Last year we were filming them and the salesman thought us out of their section when he heard us do our normal , pro and con. He was cursing at us saying we are not allowed to say anything negative. Unfortunately that Rv dealer was the same one who had them at the show this year.
Sorry to hear that you came in contact with a bad apple. There are pro's and con's to all RV's. There is also give and take. The Aliner appears to be a good product for what it is designed for. I have done a lot of research and now follow this CZcams couple Golden K9 Campers. That guy shouldn't have been so annoying. I hope it wasn't one of the few dealer in Florida. I want to check them out in person and the dealer by me in South Broward County doesn't sell them. I need to travel north and was going to go to Como RV in Inverness this summer when School is out. @@2KrazyKampers
Yes, it was a Florida Rv dealer. We did have the entire thing on camera when he began cursing at us but we decided to not air it and give them the satisfaction. Unfortunately there’s only two dealers in Florida
I have Aliner Ranger 12 with sofa and table that folds into bed. Front and rear hard dormers. I am looking to sell it if you are interested.
Sounds like it is a done deal. Too late to get moved in though before getting 'Unplugged' though, I would think.
What size pickup truck would be required to tow this? F150 or f250? Love the layout and your review!
I would say an F250 or higher. I would not tow this with a 1/2 ton truck (F150, Chevy 1500, Ram 1500). Though your engine and transmission may be able to handle it, you will probably be over payload capacity.. Even though Truck manufactures state high towing capacities, most of them can not legally handle those weights and you would have to special order it
I'm strictly looking for a 1/2 ton toable couple's travel trailer. With washer & dryer possibly a outside grill
Most bumper pull travel trailers dont have washer dryer hookups and if you do find one, it most likely wont be half ton towable. The washer and dryer will make the RV heavy and will cause it to exceed the payload capacity of just about any 1/2 ton truck
This seems very similar to your current floor plan. We have a Kz Connect 261 RB that has similar floor plan. It may not be worth the trade to get a similar rv
Rachel might be in trouble when he moves the batteries over. Who knows, he might sneak a little wind on the batteries to get Rachel up faster.
I love that kitchen I would get rid of the microwave
I like this RV a lot but the biggest issue for me is travel access. When that big slide is closed, you cannot go into the bedroom at all. If the had a door in the bedroom, that would have helped a lot to resolve the issue.
@2KrazyKampers Your rig batteries are kept under your bed? Lithium? I considered that too but have reservations for safety reasons. How are they set up?
LiFePo4 are safe. In addition, our batteries have fire arrestors built in. I have also spoken to my friend Todd from the NrVTA about it and he said it is safe. Technically, even your pass through, they are under your bed
Love this unit!! Can it be pulled with a gas powered V8 Silverado? Does it put a strain on engine if not diesel?
You can definitely pull it with a Gas Engine. It is about the same weight as our current RV and we pulled that with a Gas Engine for 3 years. The biggest issue with Gas engines is really the fact that you have to stop to fuel up a lot. I would not tow this with a 1/2 ton truck though (F150, Chevy 1500). Though your engine and transmission may be able to handle it, you will probably be over payload capacity.
@@2KrazyKampers thanks so much for the info. Our truck is a 1500 and wondered abt the strain on the engine. Either we switch out trucks as our main vehicle or keep our truck and opt for a Class C motorhome. We watched your videos on that by the way!! 🙌
Oh man, you guys should just upgrade!!!
Is it possible to put a hinge on the side of TV so that you could swing TV out and the the space behind TV is usable?
There’s actually storage behind the TV. We leaned that after making the video
What type of slide system does it have?
Could you use the table in storage for video?
yes
I don't love the glass door, doesn't seem safe to me, and my dogs noses would have me constantly cleaning!
What is the interior ceiling height? Also, can you get a tri-fold sofa instead of the Theater sofa? This RV looks to be very expensive & will most likely be out of budget for many families.
Yes, you can get a trifold instead. The alliance actually is well priced and cheaper than most of the other companies that have a similar layout. And in my opinion, built better and by a better company
What about the interior ceiling height?@@2KrazyKampers
I did not see location of circuit breaker/fuse panel. As a geezer, I hate getting down on the floor to see inside panels mounted low.
Its under the TV behind a door
Was the micro a connection oven? Some are
No
A soap wet soap holder over your toothbrush holder? 😟
Is unit available in a 22’ or 24’ length?
No, the smallest Travel trailer they have is the 252RL which is 29" from tip to tail. If you want a 22ft total length RV, you need to look at something like the Coachmen Remote 19R czcams.com/video/D8LlusgmbCk/video.html or the Tracer 190RB czcams.com/video/yFhEhhUAFlg/video.html. They will be small inside, usually between 17-19 feet because the tounge and bumper add about 4 ft
Can this be towed by a 1/2 ton pickup?
if its well equipped
