Forest River Cherokee Grey Wolf Travel Trailer reviews

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

We have had this travel trailer four years, camping 20-25 nights a year. We have only camped in NC, longest trip being 5 hours. In four years my only repair has been a broken curtain bracket. We had zero issues from new and everything has worked perfectly. I tow it with a six cylinder truck and it tows very easily. I do use the Husky anti-sway system. I wish it had a battery cutoff switch, but I haven’t added one yet. The water heater is inconvenient to winterize. The refrigerator is excellent. The heater works well. The AC is a bit loud but has always worked. I have had no cause to contact factory support but that choice wasn’t given on the review. I have never been back to the dealer and it was bought out by a big chain, so I won’t be back. No, the trailer does not have expensive amenities like an airstream, but it cost less than most little teardrops. I couldn’t be happier. Show less

Just bought this unit and camped in it 1 night . AC not working proper,Heater not working proper,inside trim looked like a rough cut piece of wood painted white,the staples in ceiling are protruding through roof , 5 DIFERENT SPOTS , THERE FIX IS TO CUT THE ROOF AND PULL THE STAPLES AND THEN PATCH IT. NOT SATISFATORY WITH ME BUT I HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. There should be a new roof put on . Outside caulking looks like a child caulked it . Its a terrible job. AC Cover deformed . No paper work for any of the appliances. Just a terrible built camper. Forest river does not stand behind there products. Very disappointed would not recommend them to anyone. Buyers beware!!

What a nightmare. We purchased the Grey wolf and have had nothing but issues. The trailer was never winterized by the manufacturer so the kitchen faucet broke the first week home. Do not believe the stickers saying winterized by manufacturer! The door wouldn’t shut right. It took two trips to the dealership to get it fixed. First trip out we found the black tank flush was hooked to the grey tank. The kitchen sink wouldn’t drain and the shower leaked onto the bathroom floor. You can tell it was thrown together without any quality check. I will NEVER consider buying anything from forest river again. We were so excited to do a lot of camping this year and it has been so stressful and incredibly disappointing. Zero stars!! 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

Took three trips so far and we love it. East to tow including going through gas stations and McDonald's parking lots. The heating and AC , works good. Shower is a great size. Always enough hot water, systems are well planned 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
