2026 Cherokee Alpha Wolf25RB

The 25RB is the Alpha Wolf aimed squarely at solo campers and couples. Forest River describes it as one entry and one slide out with a fiberglass exterior, a front bedroom and a rear bathroom, and highlights the rear bathroom itself as the feature: spacious, with plenty of storage. The kitchen carries a hidden pantry, a 12-volt refrigerator, a farm-style sink, an oven and a microwave, and the dinette doubles as an extra bed alongside the theatre seating.

A rear bathroom running the full width is the trade this plan makes. It buys a genuinely comfortable bath for two people living aboard, and it spends the length that a bunkhouse plan would use for berths. At 31 feet 1 inch and 6,581 pounds dry it sits mid-pack in the line, but the published 7,910-pound GVWR leaves only 1,329 pounds of cargo — the tightest margin of any Alpha Wolf. The tongue is 910 pounds.

That cargo figure deserves attention rather than alarm. It is a couples' trailer, and two people's gear does not weigh 1,300 pounds — but 81 gallons of fresh water does weigh about 672, and filling the tank consumes half the margin before anything else goes aboard. The rest of the build is line-standard: laminated fiberglass over block foam on a drop frame, a Super Truss roof under a lifetime PVC membrane, an armored heated underbelly, tankless hot water, four power stabilizer jacks, the Juice Pack solar package, and a 15-foot awning over 81/35/35 tanks.

How the 25RB differs from the other six Alpha Wolf floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

• Cargo capacity, 1,329 lb: smallest of seven; next is the 26DBH (1,330 lb).
• Dry weight, 6,581 lb: second-lightest of seven, between the 22SW (5,513 lb) and the 26DBH (6,625 lb).
• GVWR, 7,910 lb: second-lowest of six, between the 22SW (7,735 lb) and the 26DBH (7,955 lb).
• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 16.8%: second-smallest of six, between the 26DBH (16.7%) and the 33RL (22.5%).
• Tongue weight, 910 lb: second-lightest of seven, between the 22SW (735 lb) and the 26DBH (955 lb).
• Length, 31 ft 1 in: second-shortest of seven, between the 22SW (27 ft) and the 26DBH (32 ft 8 in).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 13.8%: third-smallest of seven, between the 33RL (13.5%) and the 33BH (14.1%).
• Grey tank, 35 gal: smallest of six, level with the 26DBH; next are the 26RL, 29DCB and two others (70 gal).
• Exterior height, 11 ft: lowest of six, level with the 26DBH and 29DCB; next are the 26RL and 33BH (11 ft 2 in).
• Slide-out count, 1: fewest of six, level with the 26DBH and 29DCB; next is the 26RL (2).

Next to the 22SW, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 25RB is 1,068 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 175 lb higher, has 893 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 175 lb heavier and is 4 ft 1 in longer; the two publish the same fresh tank.

Next to the 26DBH, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 25RB is 44 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 45 lb lower, has 1 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 45 lb lighter and is 1 ft 7 in shorter; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank, black tank and slide-out count.

Alpha Wolf is the laminated-fiberglass tier of Forest River's Cherokee travel-trailer family — a construction step above the metal-sided Grey Wolf and Wolf Den on the same drop-frame bumper-pull architecture, and a cross-shop against Forest River's own Salem / Wildwood, Jayco's Jay Flight, Keystone's Passport and Coachmen's Catalina. Eleven floorplans are published for 2026.

A full 81-gallon fresh tank is about 672 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 51% of the 25RB’s 1,329 lb cargo capacity, leaving 657 lb. Across 7 Alpha Wolf floorplans the water share runs 26% to 51%, and this plan’s is the highest. Nearest on that share: Alpha Wolf 26DBH at 51%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
