01 What makes it unique

The Cherokee Grey Wolf 19SM squeezes a surprising amount of sleeping space into one of the shortest trailers in the line. A front queen bed sits under a drop-down bunk, a second queen rides at the rear on a slide-out that adds berths without adding tow length, and a booth dinette and a sofa in the main room each fold flat for more sleepers — so the practical count runs to seven or eight depending on how the dinette and sofa are used. A bathroom sits directly across from the main entry for easy in-and-out, and a galley with overhead cabinets, a pantry and a wardrobe handles a family's gear in just over 24 feet.

Grey Wolf builds it on a wood-frame body with aluminum sidewall construction, riding on the Cherokee Stable Step, with the widely stocked Black Label trim adding Thermo-Foil Arctic insulation, high-gloss gel-coat sidewalls and frameless tinted automotive glass. Standard equipment includes a 15,000-BTU air conditioner, a 12-volt refrigerator, an air-fryer convection microwave, a tankless water heater and a 15-foot power awning, with a 200-watt solar package available for off-hookup nights. A 52-gallon fresh tank supports family-size water use away from full hookups.

At 5,076 pounds dry against a 7,616-pound GVWR it leaves roughly 2,540 pounds of cargo capacity — generous for a small trailer and a real advantage once a family loads water, gear and bikes — and it tows comfortably behind a half-ton truck or a capable SUV. The factory record does not publish the refrigerator's cubic footage, so it is flagged. For a family that wants the most beds in the shortest, lightest Grey Wolf — two real queens plus a bunk in a sub-25-foot trailer — the 19SM is the line's compact double-queen value.

Every Cherokee Grey Wolf travel trailer is built on a wood-frame body with aluminum sidewall construction and rides on the Cherokee Stable Step; the Black Label trim adds Thermo-Foil Arctic insulation, gel-coat sidewalls and frameless tinted windows. Lengths, weights and equipment change with options and model year — always confirm against the unit's own weight sticker. Wolf Pup and Wolf Den lightweight spin-offs and the Arctic Wolf fifth wheels are documented separately.

04 What owners & reviewers report

The most beds in the shortest Grey Wolf

Two queen beds plus a front bunk and convertible dinette and sofa put seven or eight berths into a sub-25-foot trailer.

Rear queen on a slide

The second queen rides on a slide-out, so it adds sleeping space without adding to the trailer's tow length.

Generous payload for its size

At ~2,540 lb of cargo capacity against a 7,616-lb GVWR it carries plenty of family gear and water and still tows on a half-ton or capable SUV.

Refrigerator size not published

The factory floorplan record confirms a 12V refrigerator but not its cubic footage; it is shown unverified and excluded from the completeness figure.

Starting MSRP is dealer-dependent

Forest River publishes no single fixed MSRP; advertised US dealer MSRPs vary widely and selling prices run many thousands below. The figure shown is representative and flagged.

05 How it compares

↔ Cross-shop
Cherokee Grey Wolf 20RDSE

The lightest couples' camper in the line — a rear-dinette layout for two rather than a double-queen family plan, at a similar short length.

↓ Step down
Cherokee Grey Wolf 18RR

The toy-hauler entry — a garage and ramp instead of a second queen, for buyers hauling gear rather than maximizing beds.

↑ Step up
Cherokee Grey Wolf 23DBH

The compact dedicated bunkhouse — a private front master and real rear bunks with a slide, more separation for a growing family.
