01 What makes it unique
The Cherokee Grey Wolf 22CE is an open-plan couples' coach that packs a rear corner kitchen, a rear corner bath and a front bedroom into a tidy 26-foot body. The front holds a walk-around RV king with overhead cabinets, wardrobes on each side, under-bed storage and a bedside power inverter behind a privacy curtain. The middle is an open living area with opposing seating — a convertible booth dinette across from a jackknife sofa — that converts for a couple of guests, and the rear corners hold the galley (a cooktop, an air-fryer microwave and a big pantry beside the 12-volt refrigerator) and a full bathroom with a hybrid tub/shower, a skylight and a foot-flush toilet.
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 ducted air conditioner, a 12-volt refrigerator, an air-fryer convection microwave, a tankless water heater, a 200-watt solar panel and a 15-foot power awning with an LED light strip. A 52-gallon fresh tank with 38-gallon grey and black tanks supports a couple's water use away from hookups.
At 5,321 pounds dry against a 7,633-pound GVWR it leaves roughly 2,312 pounds of cargo capacity — ample for two — and tows easily behind a half-ton truck. The factory record does not publish the refrigerator's cubic footage, so it is flagged. For couples who want a rear cook's kitchen and a full corner bath with an open living room and a real king bed in a short, light, value-tier trailer, the 22CE is the compact rear-kitchen plan in the Grey Wolf line.

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
Rear kitchen and rear corner bath
Both the galley and a full bath occupy the back corners, leaving the middle open for an opposing-seating living room — a different flow from the line's rear-bath or rear-living plans.
A real king in a 26-foot trailer
The front bedroom holds a walk-around RV king with wardrobes, under-bed storage and a bedside inverter — residential comfort in a compact, light coach.
Solar standard for off-grid nights
A 200-watt solar panel and a 15-foot power awning with an LED strip come standard, easing dry-camping and extending the outdoor living area.
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
The larger rear-kitchen couples' coach — a walk-through bath and a fireplace lounge in a longer body, more living space at more weight.
The lighter, shorter rear-dinette couples' camper — easier to tow and cheaper, with a smaller galley and a side bath.
The longer front-kitchen couples' coach with a private rear king bedroom and an outside kitchen — more separation and counter space, a bigger trailer to tow.
