    Need ideas on fastening to interior walls

    Gary - I’m not sure. Delta comes with the glass doors. I think there’s a decal on the door that mentions glass. I’m not home to confirm this.

    Need ideas on fastening to interior walls

    I’ve used similar screws over the years for this and never had an issue. Be sure you don’t have a glass entry door though.

    Discussion: Alternate methods for re-securing underbelly material

    I like your idea of back-to-back angle stock. I think I’d prefer to invert them and have them set flat onto the I-beam flange. Let’s keep the ideas coming :)

    Discussion: Alternate methods for re-securing underbelly material

    @Shoaf - for piecing underbelly sections back together that I have slit from frame rail to frame rail, I have use 1x2 or 1x3 lumber to do as you suggest with metal strips. That said, I'm considering adding a piece of 1" steel angle stock to go across the coach from on top of the bottom frame...

    Discussion: Alternate methods for re-securing underbelly material

    Thanks for the feedback on using a RivNut and on the fastener size. I’ll consider both. When I get home from this trip overseas, I’ll mic the flange.

    Discussion: Alternate methods for re-securing underbelly material

    I've had a number of RVs over the last 20 years and with all of them, I do a number of modifications. These always include running wires and often plumbing below the floor within the frame. This means I am always removing my underbelly material. Historically, the industry typically uses...

    Delta Owners - Improvements to your Living Room TV Sound?

    Thanks @HD Road King.
  12. Jim Beletti

    Hello everyone!

    @adampw30 - you can place a custom order through a dealership. Most dealers will accommodate this. As long as your time horizon fits a typically longer build cycle, it's a great way to get what you want.

    Size of battery box

    @7ACMike - similar to what Jim suggested above, in my Paradigm, when I removed my battery box, I pop-riveted in a piece of thick sheet metal and sealed the edges (from the top) with bottom board tape.

    LiFePO4 Batteries Installed on my 2024 Delta 262RB

    Thanks Paul. I still need to finish some small things under the bed there. But making progress on the rest. Yesterday, I got the batteries connected to the DC gear in the pass-through (switch and shunt, then into 2 Lynx distributors). I ran the solar wires and DC-DC charging wires into the...

    Solar Panel System Installed on my 2024 Delta 262RB

    @RockDr896 - Generally, slide roofs cannot be walked on. If a slide needs to be worked on, it can be done from the ends or the front in most cases. If the slide topper needs to be replaced, it can be done with the slide partially to fully in and done from ladders, not from the roof.

    I don't know the wheel brand but I believe Lion's Head is our supplier. I suggest you give them a call. Their number can be found in this article on our Owner Empowerment site.

    Delta Owners - Improvements to your Living Room TV Sound?

    Hello Delta Owners - In my 2024 Delta 262RB, there is no open space around the living room TV to add a sound bar. I have tried the IRV speaker in the ceiling with mixed success and it's not great sounding to my ears. The storage space with a flip-up door above the TV looks inviting but... - I...

    FLT light

    My guess: 1. Out of propane or propane not open or propane to cold 2. Mud dauber nest or spider webs on burner tube 3. Some other issue.
  34. Jim Beletti

    FLT light

    Failure To Light. It's for the Gas Water Heater. That light will stay lit while the water heater attempts to light its gas burner. Once it lights, the FTL light will go out. Moving this thread to Water Heaters.

    Welcome to the Cooking for a Group sub-forum

    This sub-forum was created as a discussion space for those who often find themselves cooking for groups when camping. Discuss things such as large quantity recipes, cooking methods, cookery used, serving and more. This sub-forum was inspired by forum user @RockDr896. Thank you for that :)

    Another suggestion for a sub-category

    Hi @RockDr896 - Are you suggesting something along the lines of "Cooking for a Group"? We do have some sub-forums under Cooking that are specific to types of cookery used. I understand that's not what you're asking for but wanted you to know.

    Delta 262RB actual weight

    I didn't scale mine but I have my weight sticker from the ODS of the unit. GVWR: 8250 LB GAWR: 5200 LB* each UVW: 7026 LB CCC: 1184 LB * A caveat to mine is that I'm trying something out. I have Dexter 5200# axles with ABS braking, so my GAWR could differ from other 262RBs

    Anyone ever seen the 292RL with a booth vs dinette?

    Hi @tmartin000 - for our use case, a standard dinette was best, so that's what I chose. My wife and I are not small people so for us, an RV booth isn't a great fit and we don't camp with children, so that's why we chose the dinette. That said, we lost the storage space inside the booth seats...

    Viability of using onboard propane system for a portable dual fuel generator?

    Viability of using onboard propane system for a portable dual fuel generator?

    @dwcfish - The LPG inlet on my generator isn't a quick-connect. Rather, it looks to be a standard NPT male flare fitting. Unsure of size (3/8 or 1/2).
