Forest RIver Cherokee Wolf Pup reviews

Bought brand new at 68,000. The AC units blew the first month after a few uses. The sink brokek. The pipes snapped under sink. Then fauct broke apart. Black tank clogged and would not empty correctly. Sludes are stuck out. Replaced all fuses. Replaced motherboard. Replaced propane regulator because it leaked. Living room floor vinyl was torn upon delivery. On and on. Now AC doesnt work at all. Lights dobt work. Fuses blew. Upgraded panel at recommendation of tech sent by Camping World. Id never ever recommend this camper to anyone. It has been a headache from literally the day of delivery and on. I tried to return it eithin the first 30 days but dealership wanted me to pay them to do so. Honestly if it caught fire from the AC units overheating id not be sad. Show less

Looked great when I saw it a few yrs ago..regreat buying it..2021 artic wolf 291RL..floor spongy, ac flow horriable..headboard pulling away from bed and cabinets exposing staples..poorly put together..scraping my hands while I sleep and huge gap between bed and front of trailer...lost a pillows down there...warranty won't fix it..not surprised!!!!...it's their poor workmanship that caused it not me, so they said to deal with it.

First impressing was that this trailer was created with great options and a great floor plan. However, the quality has been dissapointing. The first trip we took the awning arm would stay up and the plastic wheel/ fender flairs on one side starting flapping in the wind and the door seal was ripped. We made arragements with Colier RV to have the the items (except the fender flairs because they were still attached and we thought they were made to flap while traveling.) repaired. The repairs were made. Along with the oven that wouldn't light. In the way home the fender flair was now 1/4 hanging off the trailer 30 minutes in to my return trip home from Colier RV. 5 days after picking it up we left on a trip 4 hours up north. The second day in the awning bent from rain. The left side arm was fine, but the arm the tech at Colier had just tightened down to stop from sagging broke because the arm wouldn't move. Ofcourse Colier says it isn't their fault and I should contact the awning manufsctuer because the arm is defective. So now we have no awning, we had to manuver a 20+ long awning tube to our next destination where we camped another 4 days. We're in our 6th trip with this camper and it looks like it's 15 years old. The other fender flair unit is starting to slowly peel off so I'll have to come up with some idea to adhere two sides back on the trailer. We bought the unit for $36k and in its current condition well be lucky to sell it for half that. This will be our second F.R. Cherokee and it last. And that goes for Colier RV for not standing behind their repairs. Show less

Very spacious and comfortable! Would be good a good choice to live in. Great for year around enjoyment! Full belly insulation with insulated hoses made it a dream to operate in the winter. No issues at all with this thing! Show less

Me and my wife purchased a brand new 2021 model from Camping World (a screw up story for another time). Since we’ve had it I have had nothing but issues with plumbing. I use water pressure regulators etc. I have had to replace all the squeeze clamps on the water lines with screw clamps. Since I purchased after 6 months I noticed I had water dripping on the ground what appeared to be my pull handle seals. After already having put it in the shop for outdoor shower pipes and the lack of professionalism with the dealer I decided I would do the work myself. I did and it appeared to of held up a little bit with a much much slower drip. I thought that maybe the seal didn’t line up correctly. After making it back down south (1yr later) I decided I had the time and tools to fully replace the seals properly and not have to have a bucket underneath it catch. I did that and the leak appeared to not get any better. Took it to the dealership for repairs and the tech accused me of having been in an accident and it missed aligned the pipes. I’ve never been in an accident with it and how could they just become misaligned. Seems to me that this is just a faulty RV with the constant issues with pipes. So much has happened and we’ve decided that we will never own another Forest River product ever again. We will also never purchase from Camping World nor ever use their service department again either. Show less

It's a pretty decent camper and looks great inside and out. But after a year of full time living (FTL) in Alaska there have been a few needed repairs. -Furnace control board stopped working 6 months after purchase (2-3 months of real use). -Shower pan/floor cracked (14 months FTL) - Self repaired (YouTube). -Wintertime condensation accumulates quickly in the slide area under table seats, mold was discovered so I added much needed insulation. - Stove - The numbering and lettering on all of the stove dials rubbed off after 2 months. (Called the manufacturer to replace and never received a return message or parts). -Bedroom window passenger side, shattered into thousands of pieces while driving on the road. Called Forest River to help repair but due to my local area not having an RV dealer I was told I'd have to pay for a technician's flight for repair. I called the dealership I purchased it from, and they split the cost for a replacement window and shipped it to me ($200) Install took 5min. (8 screws hold it in place). -The freezer coils become a solid ice cube every 3-4 months and the refrigerator stops working/maintaining a useable temperature. So, I have to remove all items from the freezer, turn off the power to the unit and remove the back panel inside the freezer. A hair dryer melts the ice buildup in about an hour. Then power it back up and it's good to go until the next freeze up. First off, its only me and my black lab(dog) full time living in the camper, so it can feel cramped. After all the repairs, I still think this would be a great for short term camping trips and a couple with small children. There's definitely room for improvement when it comes to assembly. Thanks for reading, hope this helps someone out there. Show less

Very disappointed with the quality of the wolf pack..trim Falling off..had to replace the cheap crappy grade of the Jack's. First a new motor and 6 months later the entire Jack's because of the lifting ability of them..got the camper back from the dealer ship after replacement of the Jack's 1500.00 dollars and then the junkie refrigerator had to be replaced..no warranty from company..1800.00 to just purchase the replacement fridge..water leaks are also common and also the voltage meter has went bad now to. This camper has been used about 2 dozen times..my opinion stay away from the wolf pack.. Show less

This was our first RV purchase and I can't say that it has been great thus far. We bought this RV because it had the perfect layout for what we were looking for. When we picked up the trailer we noticed some quality issues right off the bat. We tried to document everything but didn't really start finding all the cosmetic and other issues until we got it home. So after buying it, it went back to the shop 3 days later and was kept for 3 weeks. The quality for the most part has been extremely awful!! This thing looked like it was put together so quickly and with no regard for quality in many areas. From missing wood to uncompleted trim to metal shavings all over the trailer to warped trim and doors that won't shut, 3/4 of the USB ports did not work, some lights did not work, water lines loose and leaking. Quality was not even remotely a consideration apparently. If we had it all to do over, we would have probably went with another company that had much better quality or bought an older model when quality still seemed to matter. It is really a shame for the amount of money we paid and for what we got. It really is a great looking trailer but the amount of issues with it being brand new is just staggering. I would not recommend going with this model and would be very careful selecting any trailer these days with the amount of quality issues that most manufacturers seem to be having. We just hope this thing will hold together long enough to get some use out of it before it all falls apart. To say we are disappointed is an under statement. Show less

Forest River quality has been great. Everything on my Fifth wheel has operated great, I have had NO problems. I do have an 12v refrigerator with 50-watt solar panel and have never had a problem keeping it cold while driving over 11hrs. I have also added a second battery myself for reliability!! I have also changed the original tires to Goodyear Endurance, so I have no blow outs. My wift loves the room. Show less
