01 What makes it unique
Alliance RV’s 2026 Delta brochure prints a dry weight of 7,388 lb and a GVWR of 9,250 lb for the 291BH, with a tongue weight of 872 lb. The brochure prints no cargo carrying capacity, so none is shown here, and none is worked out by subtracting one published figure from the other. The trailer’s own federal weight label, inside the door, carries its cargo capacity as built.
Alliance lists it under Delta’s travel trailers in that brochure, at 33' 11" long, with 45 gal fresh, 82 gal grey and 45 gal black tanks. Fresh water weighs about 8.3 lb per US gallon, so a full fresh tank adds roughly 374 lb before anything else is loaded.
Among the 14 Delta floorplans whose dry weight Alliance’s 2026 brochure prints, it is number 11 by dry weight, in a range from 3,990 lb to 8,253 lb. Every figure in that comparison comes from the same brochure, for the same model year.
Every number on this page is read from Alliance RV’s 2026 Delta brochure (marked “New for 2026”, print date 19 September 2025). Alliance does not print exterior height or width, sleeping capacity or tire size against this floorplan there, so those rows read as not published.
How the 291BH differs from the other fourteen Delta floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.8%: third-largest of fourteen, between the 274RKW (11.7%) and the ML226 (12.9%).
- Dry weight, 7,388 lb: fourth-heaviest of fourteen, between the 294RK (7,316 lb) and the 274RKW (7,420 lb).
- Tongue weight, 872 lb: heaviest of fourteen, level with the 321BH; next is the 274RKW (870 lb).
- Length, 33 ft 11 in: shared with the 292RL and 294RK; of fifteen, eleven shorter and one longer, nearest the 274RKW, 281BH and BH271 (31 ft 11 in) and the 321BH (36 ft 11 in).
- GVWR, 9,250 lb: shared with the 274RKW and 294RK; of fifteen, ten lower and two higher, nearest the 281BH (8,850 lb) and the 292RL (9,450 lb).
- Grey tank, 82 gal: shared with the BH271; of fifteen, six smaller and seven larger, nearest the BH241 and RK234 (74 gal) and the 252RL, 262RB and five others (90 gal).
Next to the 294RK, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 291BH is 72 lb heavier by dry weight, has a tongue weight 31 lb heavier and has a grey tank 8 gal smaller; the two publish the same GVWR, length, fresh tank and black tank.
Next to the 274RKW, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 291BH is 32 lb lighter by dry weight, has a tongue weight 2 lb heavier, is 2 ft longer and has a grey tank 8 gal smaller; the two publish the same GVWR, fresh tank and black tank.

Towing it
Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.
Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (9,250 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,388 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433).
03 The Delta floorplan family
Alliance RV’s 2026 Delta brochure lists 17 floorplans; this site profiles every one whose dry weight it prints. The brochure prints dry weight, GVWR, hitch weight, length and tanks, and no cargo carrying capacity.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Alliance RV does not publish for the 291BH
No cargo carrying capacity, exterior height or width, sleeping capacity or tire size is printed against this floorplan in Alliance’s 2026 brochure, so those rows read as not published. Nothing is filled from a sibling floorplan, a different model year or a dealer listing.
Read the label on the trailer
Federal rules put a load-carrying label inside every RV trailer: its unloaded weight with full propane, its cargo carrying capacity and its GVWR (49 CFR 571.110 and 571.120). Those figures come from the trailer itself and govern the towing decision.
05 How it compares
7,316 lb dry and 9,250 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 7,388 lb and 9,250 lb.
7,420 lb dry and 9,250 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 7,388 lb and 9,250 lb.

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 1 recall campaign and 2 owner complaints (model years 2005 on) against the Delta line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).
Too few reports to show a pattern. 2 complaints have been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. They cover equipment and unknown or other.
Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Delta line page.
