Today’s RV review is of the new 2025 Alliance RV Delta Ultra Lite RK234 travel trailer. This is a new series from Alliance RV currently available in two floor plans, and is an example of the decontenting that we’ve been talking about lately. But, as in many cases, that’s not a bad thing.
This trailer reminds me of a floor plan that we had when I was selling RVs. I would speak with prospects and then, when that floor plan was appropriate, show it to them and never ever sell the thing.
The funny thing was that there was a competing brand that we took on and they offered a trailer with the same floor plan. We’d get one in, and it was out almost right away. So we ordered another and it sold, as well.
My point with this is that, when you see any RV and the floor plan sort of fits what you’re looking for but you find one and ultimately don’t like it, don’t be shy about shopping for other brands. The little differences that one brand implements over others can make a huge difference. The one we couldn’t sell (but which I ultimately sold to a friend) just had a “dark” or “enclosed” feel to it because the company prioritized storage over windows.
Starting at the bottom of the Alliance RV Delta Ultra Lite RK234
The Ultra Lite series starts with Goodyear Endurance tires, which are my personal favorite. But you’re getting a traditional leaf spring suspension, which is the first obvious cut the company has made.
Interestingly, Alliance RV is still featuring an enclosed underbelly and the plumbing features a shutoff for each fixture. There are three spray ports on the outside of this trailer. These are unique in that there are hot and cold knobs in the wet bay which affect the water temperature in all three of the outside spray ports.
The company also intentionally wires these with consistent colors of wiring, which makes a difference down the road.
Something that’s nifty about these is that there’s a switch for the awning in the front pass-through storage, which I really like.
What’s inside the Alliance RV Delta Ultra Lite RK234
Someone at Alliance RV was really thinking with this floor plan. As they say, the devil’s in the details—and there are some devilishly cool things here. For example, the kitchen spans the width of the back of the trailer, so there’s a decent amount of countertop. But there is also a cabinet right at the back door that has a trash can—that’s convenient.
There’s also a shoe cubby on the other side under the dinette. The drawers and cabinets still feature soft-close mechanisms. Alliance’s sink has a drain offset from the center which maximizes space under the cabinet. Not something you usually consider—they did.
There’s a drawer right by the stove that has an insert with a silverware organizer that slides back and forth.
There’s a nifty pantry that looks like a closet until you open it and discover a lot of drawers inside that are rather deep. There’s a lot of storage here.
There’s also a couch that’s 79” long and incorporates a triple recliner. Nice.
The bathroom spans the width of the trailer and separates the main living space from the bedroom, each of which also has an entry door. The bathroom has more drawer and cabinet space than many in this size. There’s even a double medicine cabinet.
The bed in here is a proper queen-sized bed. There’s hanging storage and a drawer plus nightstands on either side of the door.
Boondocking and travel access in the Alliance RV Delta Ultra Lite RK234
Apparently there were some thoughts to dropping the solar panel on the Ultra Lite series, but that didn’t happen. So this still has a 200-watt solar panel standard with a 40-amp MPPT charge controller. This is truly ready for more solar, if that makes sense.
This has two entry doors—one to the bedroom and one to the main living space. With these two doors, you have full access to the trailer even with the slide in. Some trailers with two doors have traditional travel trailer steps on one door and solid steps on the other, but this doesn’t. So you have to fiddle with the dumb solid steps to get in to go potty at a rest stop and, by then, well, it might also be time for new pants. I guess I’m not such a fan of these solid steps.
Conclusions
There are a few things I would change about this, starting with the worthless 17” (vertical) oven. It’s a bummer to see this thing in an RV with an otherwise great kitchen.
I also am no fan of dining tables with the ouch poles—a free-standing table would have been my preference. But you get what you get. And a screw gun can fix that.
There’s a lot to like about this, and the overall feel isn’t that you’ve got something cheap by any means. This has a lot of what has earned Alliance RV a solid reputation in a relatively short time. It’s just in a smaller, lighter, and somewhat less expensive package.

Tony, always a small oven, lol! Bathroom configuration and location not ideal. Mattress support, if you sit on the corner edges, will it still support you? The nightstands should be lowered, or mattress set higher to prevent bumping into the edges, especially for those who move around while sleeping.
“outside spray ports”. I must be out of the loop. What are “outside spray ports”?
I agree with Gil about the mattress overhang. In the picture of the mattress in the up position, it looks like there is nothing under the foot end. We must be missing something.
Tony,
From one aging male to another l, I love your “new pants” analogy for the dumb solid steps. Solid steps are just one of many items keeping me from buying a new rig.
From past experience, we definitely prefer two nightstands to full-lenth closets, even with a REAL queen bed. And the closet corners can easily be padded to prevent 2:00 AM screams of pain from hitting a closet corner while making a bathroom run!
If “decontenting” means eliminating a window above the head of the bed, then I’m all for it. Again from past experience, we had one RV wirh a “headboard window” and one without. We had to put an insulated cover over the window so we didn’t have to endure a cold draft on our necks when mountain camping and snowbirding. Never again!
Finally, our fifth wheel had a split bath with the toilet in its own “closet”. Why can’t TTs have that?
Thank you, Tony! 🙂 As Gil and Tommy queried, what is an outside spray port? Is there one for each gray or black tank to flush that particular tank? So, replace the suspension and this is a winner? Thanks again, have a great week, safe travels, and safe stays!
No Outlets in the kitchen? Whaaaaattttt????
