New to RVing with new Delta 262 RB

[KevinrW26]

Hello All, I just retired and my wife and I have a 4 month trip to Alaska on the bucket list to start on in May 2027. We recently took delivery on a 2027 Delta 262 RB and took it out for a test run before putting away for the winter. We have alot of planning to do over this winter before the trip and I look forward to using this forum as part of those preparations and better getting to know the trailer and the people who use them. The shot below is the newbies first set-up.

Congrats. You're obviously a genius ---- picked the same model that we bought...

I've got a little over a year to retirement and we're looking forward to full-timing until out bodies give out. That said, my advice after needing to correct a plethora of manufacturing flubs, is to use it quite a few times before any big trip. I spent the day yesterday fixing piddly things in the parking lot of our storage yard.

So far we've only camped in it one time. Luckily I found the water leak on the second try.

Hello Hilldweller,
Sorry to hear you had early issues. We camped for three nights recently and tried everything. So far so good. BTW, my tow vehicle is also a Ram 2500. I am a hobby electrician, plumber, Mr. fix it so I plan to prepare for problems on the big trip. I have watched too many Youtube videos documenting problems with travel trailers and seems that that is all part of the fun LOL! It would have been really helpful if the trailer manual came with a wiring diagram. I asked the dealer and Alliance for one but they just said they don't produce or supply those and that all wiring is colour coded and easy to troubleshoot. So, I plan to make my own when I get a chance to dig into it. BTW - where did you get a water leak?

 

[Hilldweller]

The water leak was at the BluTech water filter. The Alliance team had cross threaded the canister when they assembled it. So it really only showed up as a pressure loss when you went to use the shower, the farthest point from the leak.
