Forest River CHEROKEE ALPHA WOLF 26DBH-L 26DBH-L reviews

Both slide out installed improperly from factory cost to repair out of pocket $8400 Leaky window improperly installed also with screws either missing or actually pushing the frame outward cost $2460 because of water damage on the inside…. The insulation in walls is also insufficient in part of the wall…. The 1 year warranty is a joke…. Since the vast majority of people will not use their trailer in cold weather. It only gives you 5 months at best. Show less

What piece of garbage. Yes, there are thing I like compared to the one I traded in, but discovered this one is cheaply made. The entry wall is not even straight. Oh well. Guess I got the lemon. But, I don't recommend...there are others out there built better with better warranty service. Show less

Drove our Alpha wolf thru all 48 states in 2 years and with minimal repairs. Had problem with the electrical fuse box (screws not tight enough) creating a slew of problems. A blown tire is Chicago area…. Really bad freeways. And cables for slides misaligned which is getting fix by insurance. Overall my wife and I absolutely love the trailer. I have 1050 watt of solar a Expion lithium battery rated 360 amp ( could use a second one for truly boon docking)we boon docked 45% of our travel. And a Xantrex inverter sw 3012. I towed it with a Ram Laramie 2500 Hemi …. Sorry no diesel for me for many many reasons. Show less

The layout is nice. Here’s the truth that I wish I knew before I bought it. The company doesn’t care to help you at all with all the issues you will have. The craftsmanship is terrible. We had to add support to all the pantry shelves, rebuild the drawers under the dinette, fix numerous nails sticking out. Etc. It is in the shop now having the slide fixed 2 months out of warranty and Forest River doesn’t care to help out. This is the 3rd time I have had to have things repaired that I didn’t repair myself. Forest River doesn’t care about the quality or craftsmanship. I wish I would have done more research and went a different direction. Show less

There is not much good aboit this RV. On our way home the side molding started to rip on brand new trailer. After fighting with forest river finally got that repaired. A little over a year while driving home from camping the belly cover came off all the inside dropped dragging on the ground. Sine then ever single glass cabinet insert came off. A cabinet hinge just came off. After about two years the rubber molding around the dlides came off The interior fake wood moling all is coming away from the wall. I should have done more research. Stay far away from forest river. Show less

got this 26 dbh grey wolf trailer new from my local dealer for use as my wife liked the layout and we needed it for a place to live. towing it was a night mare bolts for the axle springs kept lossening and working out and had to be retightened every few miles, once parked found out tha the slide had managed to work its way out and was jammed and all the exterior doors were jammed shut, once the doors were opened they would no longer line up to shut and were even harder to shut , eventually they would no longer shut after a month and completely separated and fell apart, as for the plumbing there are leaks thru the whole system, water pump keeps running every 20 seconds due to a new leak developing every day , the ouside kitchen the fridge doesnt get cold and eventually quite working , all this in only 4 months, the dealer is wonderful and promptly comes out to do the repairs and submits to the waranty for everything, the problem is warranty takes forever to take care of any issue. problems that were first notice when first bought are just now getting taken care of after 4 months . i would not reccomend this trailer or brand due to the quality and craftmanship. this is the fourth rv trailer i have bought and i have had more issues than the others combined, and apparrently others have had the same eperience with this brand on other forrest river products they have bought Show less

This the second rv I have bought brand new, and the first with Forest River. I find they are all cheaply made with poor manufacturing. My plug-in for the microwave worked temporarily on and off and then quit completely within a month. The fan in the bathroom quit completely after 6 months. If the grey water tank gets filled, it isnt that it will overflow in the sinks, apparently there is no top to it as if leaks onto the floor in the bathroom. Do you put ANY insulation in them at all? I had it for 4 mos when I stayed okc for a month, the AC blew cold and string, but apparently there is a way for it to escape as it stayed 80 degrees in there during the day. The faucet in the kitchen has leaked since day one. For a $30,000 "live in" space, this is not just a waste if money, but you expect to have a nice place to stay in, you won't. Show less

!!! BUYER BEWARE!!! Bought this trailer about a year ago. Every time we took it out there was another problem! First the propane was leaking at the connectors. There was no o rings in there. I fixed that so we could have heat. Then the trim and cabinet panels all kept falling off there weren’t enough staples. Then the kitchen plumbing started leaking but I didn’t notice until the bottom of the cabinets started to swell. Next was the water pump getting disconnected the bathroom sink leaked then the toilet started leaking every time we flushed it. We went out one day and came back to notice our campsite was flooded! We finally found the leak and it was the connector came off from the water heater to the shower. We put the trailer in storage until we could find time for them to Fix everything and when we got it out the kitchen faucet had broken off. The outdoor kitchen is not sealed so whatever your cooking the smell or smoke goes right into the trailer smoking everyone out. The last time we took it out it was raining and the bunk windows were leaking. I’m not sure how because it looked like they used a whole tube of caulking per window. If the trailer had been built with quality it would be a nice trailer but it was just one thing after another. We traded it in for a better trailer that was not any Forest River product. The warranty department was nice and they took care of me but they were weird hours. I think the company is okay just their trailers are terrible and I will never buy a freest River ever again. Even if I was given one I’d sell it immediately and buy something else. Show less

Within 6 months of owning the coach we started having numerous problems from lights not working , interior trim coming apart , ac vent rattling , pipes under the sink leaking and now a paint defect on the front cab which requires a full cab replacement. According to the dealer they could not get any warranty repairs approved from forest river for several months . This is ridiculous for a brand new unit. I will never buy another forest river product again. Show less
