2026 Grey Wolf 23MS

The Cherokee Grey Wolf 23MS is a compact, family-focused bunkhouse that puts the private bedroom up front and the kids' bunks at the rear — a more conventional family flow than the line's walk-around-king plans. A front bedroom holds an RV king, rear bunk beds stack the children, a large U-shaped dinette on the slide handles meals and converts for more sleepers, and a full bathroom with a tub surround sits between. An outside kitchen and a rear storage rack round out a layout that sleeps eight in just over 29 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 is generous for the tier: a 15,000-BTU air conditioner, a 200-watt solar panel with a 40-amp controller, a 20,000-BTU furnace, a tankless water heater, an air-fryer convection microwave and a 12-volt refrigerator. A 15-foot power awning and the outside kitchen extend living space outdoors, and a 52-gallon fresh tank supports family camping away from hookups.

At 6,098 pounds dry against a 7,870-pound GVWR it leaves a healthy 1,772 pounds of cargo capacity — comfortable for an eight-sleeper this size, with room for water, gear and the outside-kitchen contents — and a well-equipped half-ton tows it without strain. RVUSA and the factory record do not publish the refrigerator's cubic footage, so it is flagged. For families who want a conventional front-bedroom, rear-bunk bunkhouse with an outside kitchen at a value-tier price, in a trailer short enough to handle easily, the 23MS is one of the most practical compact plans in the Grey Wolf line.

The Cherokee Grey Wolf is Forest River's highest-volume value-mid travel trailer — the company calls it the number-one-selling RV in its lineup. It spans roughly twenty travel-trailer floorplans for 2026 plus toy-hauler and fish-house variants. The 23MS on this page is highlighted; each other profiled plan links to its own page.
