01 What makes it unique
Alliance RV lists the 2027 Delta Ultra Lite ML216 at 5,372 lb dry, a GVWR of 7,450 lb and a tongue weight of 589 lb. Alliance RV prints no cargo carrying capacity for it, so none is given here; the federal label inside the trailer carries one.
It is 25' 11" long. Alliance RV prints its tanks as 45 gal fresh, 45 gal grey, 45 gal black.
Among the 19 Alliance RV Delta floorplans Alliance RV’s 2027 Delta brochure lists with a published dry weight, it is number 5 from the lightest, in a range from 3,990 lb (Delta Solo RB152) to 8,253 lb (Delta 321BH). Every figure in that comparison is Alliance RV’s, for the same model year.
Every number on this page was read on 5 Nov 2026 from Alliance RV’s 2027 Delta brochure, the maker’s own dated document for model year 2027.
How the ML216 differs from the other seven Alliance RV Delta floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Dry weight, 5,372 lb: second-lightest of eight, between the ML166 (4,148 lb) and the LK254 (6,017 lb).
- GVWR, 7,450 lb: second-lowest of seven, between the ML166 (5,650 lb) and the BH255, LK254 and RE250 (8,450 lb).
- Tongue weight, 589 lb: second-lightest of seven, between the ML166 (510 lb) and the BH255 (670 lb).
- Length, 25 ft 11 in: second-shortest of eight, between the ML166 (19 ft 11 in) and the 258FK, BH255 and two others (29 ft 11 in).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11%: third-smallest of seven, between the RE250 (10.9%) and the 284RK (11.5%).
- Grey tank, 45 gal: smallest of eight, level with the ML166; next are the BH255, LK254 and RE250 (82 gal).
Next to the ML166, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the ML216 is 1,224 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 1,800 lb higher, has a tongue weight 79 lb heavier, is 6 ft longer and has a black tank 8 gal larger; the two publish the same fresh tank and grey tank.
Next to the LK254, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the ML216 is 645 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 1,000 lb lower, has a tongue weight 107 lb lighter, is 4 ft shorter and has a grey tank 37 gal smaller; the two publish the same 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 (7,450 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,118 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).

04 Notes on this floorplan

Alliance RV prints no cargo carrying capacity, tire size, interior height, sleeping capacity for this model, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling model, 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
4,992 lb dry and 7,450 lb GVWR, against this model’s 5,372 lb and 7,450 lb.
5,600 lb dry and 7,450 lb GVWR, against this model’s 5,372 lb and 7,450 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.
