Forest River Cherokee Grey Wolf 26DBH reviews

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

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

We really love this travel trailer. It has plenty of storage and sleeping area for the entire family. The oversized sinks and cold weather package is awesome. It's one of the few campers that still had the propane/electric option for the fridge. It tows great behind our GMC 1500. Show less

Purchased a 2021 In late 2020. Trailer towes much smother than the Jayco hybrid we previously had. I can concur that build quality is not as sharp as I would I like, but this as a camper made on the cheapest PO's won buy product suppliers. I believe they did a great job producing a well built camper, with the weight it has. Just beware that trim lines are not completely smooth, the roof edge line is off on laminate tongue and groove joints, and there are zero power plugs on the slide. Now, my service side of the camper. I have had the following already go bad in less than a year. Water heater exhausted fumes in the camper. Stated the exhaust seal was not correct. This is a bid deal but addressed. Some bolts that hold the cable drive plates on the slide sheared off. Not sure how they fixed, but done. Small area of the slide didn't have silicone allowing a small water mark under the slides underbelly. And the biggest, when rolling up the awning after a great weekend, the drive motor drive shift snapped in half, allowing the one side to drop on a table and swing bending the main roller and one side arm. I had a friend who owns a Machine shop make the drive pin out of a better metal and back in working order. They did not cover the roller under warranty as they said it still worked. Show less

We bought our Grey Wolf 27DBH BL in June, 2021. We have been on 12 camping trips that equal to 38 nights. Thank the Lord our camper has had no major issues. Our Ice maker went out after the second trip and was promptly replaced under warranty. Just recently I noticed that a screw was missing on the roller bracket on the awning and our toilet had a fresh water leak. I made an appointment with my dealer and they are going to fix under warranty. My dealer has a great reputation and has me scheduled for pickup By mid-next week. So far they have been great. I really think that when buying a camper, one should buy from a dealer like Welcome Back in Athens, Texas. Before they deliver a trailer, they make sure it’s ready to go and all systems work. We have been very pleased with Forest River Grey Wolf and our dealer. Show less

I have used the camper 2 times in two years. I have lots of issues with it. First off the marine battery they put in it was dead. My thermostat will not work properly. Can't get heat to turn on when it's cold outside. Now i just hooked up my water to find out i have a water leak inside the trailer under the toilet. All this and i have used it 2 times in 2 years. Never again will i buy this kind of camper. Show less

We love this layout with 2 kids. The fold out couch isn't the most comfortable, but many aren't. Add a mattress topper to make it better. We added 2 TV's. Love the pantry closet. We purchased a new hybrid mattress as well. Perfect RV for our needs. Show less
