2027 Forest River Cherokee Grey Wolf28QBH

The Cherokee Grey Wolf 28QBH leaves Forest River's factory at 6,273 lbs dry, with a published GVWR of 7,905 lbs and 1,632 lbs of cargo capacity between the two. Cargo capacity is 21% of the loaded rating, and Forest River's own definition is worth reading before you plan against it: cargo capacity is what remains for fresh water, gear, food, batteries and every dealer-installed accessory. Fresh water alone is 8.3 lb per gallon, so filling this trailer's 52-gallon fresh tank spends 432 lbs of that 1,632 lbs before anything else is loaded.

Tongue weight is 905 lbs, or 14% of the dry weight. Ten to fifteen percent is the conventional band for a bumper-pull trailer, and this plan sits inside it as published. Tongue weight is not fixed: it moves with how the trailer is loaded, and weight added ahead of the axles raises it. A weight-distribution hitch is the normal fitment at this tongue load, and the tow vehicle's tongue-weight limit is a separate number from its trailer-weight limit.

Tank capacities are 52 gallons fresh, 38 grey and 38 black, 76 gallons of waste capacity against 52 gallons of supply. The ratio is what governs how long the trailer can sit off hookups: waste capacity exceeds fresh, so the fresh tank is the binding constraint and refilling extends the stay. Forest River publishes these three figures per floorplan, and they are the factory's numbers rather than a segment average.

Against the rest of the Cherokee Grey Wolf roster this is the 21st of 31 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 4,449 lbs to 7,356 lbs. It sits in the heavier third of the line. Comparing floorplans inside one line is more reliable than comparing across brands, because every figure here comes from the same factory channel on the same day.

A useful way to read the pair of weights is to stop planning against the dry figure. Nobody tows a trailer at 6,273 lbs: that is the weight before water, batteries, propane, bedding, food, tools and anything the dealer bolted on. Load half the published cargo capacity, which is modest for a family trip, and this plan is already near 7,089 lbs on the road. Compare that number against the tow vehicle, not the dry weight, and leave margin on top of it - the published GVWR of 7,905 lbs is a limit rather than a target.

Every number above was captured twice from Forest River and checked against itself before it was published. The line listing and the individual floorplan page are two separate factory renderings of the same trailer, and this plan's 4 shared figures agree exactly on both. Dry weight plus cargo capacity also equals the published GVWR exactly, which is the arithmetic check this site runs on every profiled floorplan. Where a figure is missing from this page it is because Forest River does not publish it in this channel, not because it was hard to find - and the row says so rather than being quietly dropped.

Forest River publishes no floorplan description for this plan in the channel this page is built from - only the numeric specification block. Rather than describe a layout from the floorplan code, which would be a guess dressed as a fact, this page carries what the factory publishes and says where it stops. 28QBH is a Cherokee Grey Wolf designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 28QBH differs from the other 30 Cherokee Grey Wolf floorplans. Most distinctive first. Each rank counts only the siblings that publish that field, and a figure most of them share is left out. Not every one of these pages covers the same model years as this one (2027); each figure is the one its own page prints, so a rank compares pages, not one model year.

• GVWR, 7,905 lb: eighth-highest of 31, between the 25RRT (7,900 lb) and the 24RRT (7,938 lb).
• Tongue weight, 905 lb: eighth-heaviest of 31, between the 25RRT (900 lb) and the 24RRT (938 lb).
• Length, 33 ft 4 in: eighth-longest of 31, between the 24RRT (33 ft 3 in) and the 27LH (33 ft 6 in).
• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 20.6%: ninth-smallest of 30, between the 27GH (18.3%) and the 24RRT (22.3%).
• Dry weight, 6,273 lb: eleventh-heaviest of 31, between the 24RRT (6,169 lb) and the 27GH (6,386 lb).
• Cargo capacity, 1,632 lb: eleventh-smallest of 30, between the 26DBH (1,433 lb) and the 24RRT (1,769 lb).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 14.4%: shared with the 26DBH; of 31, nineteen smaller and ten larger, nearest the 23MS (14.3%) and the 29NM (14.7%).

Next to the 24RRT (2026 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 28QBH is 104 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 33 lb lower, has 137 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 33 lb lighter and is 1 in longer; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Next to the 27GH (2026 page), the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 28QBH is 113 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 91 lb higher, has 204 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 91 lb heavier and is 2 ft 2 in longer; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

For 2027 Forest River lists twenty-nine Grey Wolf floorplans, and the twenty-three with a full record run 4,418 to 7,263 lb dry, with tongue weights of 495 to 1,230 lb and cargo capacities of 847 to 3,122 lb. Forest River publishes a GVWR for all twenty-three and dry weight plus cargo capacity equals it exactly on every one. The heaviest travel trailer, 29NM, and the new 28RRTS toy hauler share the top GVWR of 9,995 lb while their tongue weights differ by 235 lb, so the rating alone does not separate them.

A full 52-gallon fresh tank is about 432 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 26% of the 28QBH’s 1,632 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,200 lb. Across 31 Cherokee Grey Wolf floorplans the water share runs 9% to 59%, and 5 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Cherokee Grey Wolf 29QB at 24% and Cherokee Grey Wolf 26DBH at 30%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).

Closest sibling: the Cherokee Grey Wolf 24RRT, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 5 of the 8 fields both publish (this plan first): length 33 ft 4 in vs 33 ft 3 in; dry weight 6,273 lb vs 6,169 lb; GVWR 7,905 lb vs 7,938 lb; cargo capacity 1,632 lb vs 1,769 lb; hitch weight 905 lb vs 938 lb. They match on fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Either side of it by GVWR: Cherokee Grey Wolf 25RRT is 5 lb lighter (7,900 lb GVWR); Cherokee Grey Wolf 24RRT is 33 lb heavier (7,938 lb GVWR).
