2026 Grey Wolf 29NM

The Cherokee Grey Wolf 29NM is a two-room family coach with genuine separation between the adults and the kids. A private front bedroom sits at the nose with wardrobes on either side; a separate rear private bunkhouse stacks two single bunks above two sofas with a table that collapses into a double bed; and a walk-through bathroom connects the two, so the bedroom is reachable without crossing the whole trailer. The middle is the living and kitchen area — a large U-shaped dinette and a sofa on the slide, an entertainment center with a fireplace, and a full galley with a pantry — and dual entry doors put one door at the living area and a second at the rear, easing the flow for a big family.

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, a 15-foot power awning and an outside kitchen with a grill, a mini-fridge and an ice maker. A 52-gallon fresh tank supports family-size water use away from hookups.

At 7,356 pounds dry against an 8,083-pound GVWR it leaves only about 727 pounds of cargo capacity — tight for a nine-sleeper, and the single most important number to respect on this plan: a family that travels with full water, gear and a loaded outside kitchen can reach the GVWR quickly, so deliberate packing and a well-equipped half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck matter here. The factory record does not publish the refrigerator's cubic footage, so it is flagged. For a larger family that wants two separate rooms — a private parents' bedroom and a private kids' bunkhouse — with dual entry at a value-tier price, the 29NM is the Grey Wolf line's two-room family flagship.

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 29NM on this page is highlighted; each other profiled plan links to its own page. The highest-demand layouts are detailed here and the rest are catalogued on the line hub.

Water dominates the load plan on this floorplan. Filling the 52-gallon fresh tank consumes about 60% of the 727-pound cargo capacity, which means the 29NM is realistically a travel-with-partial-water trailer unless you are heading somewhere with no hookups and are prepared to leave gear behind.

The published dry tongue weight of 1,083 pounds is 15% of the 7,356-pound dry weight, which sits inside the 10–15% band usually quoted for stable towing. It is still a dry figure: loading the front pass-through and the fresh tank both push it up.

Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 8,083-pound GVWR the 29NM is towing 727 pounds more than its 7,356-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.

Tank balance is generous here: 52 gallons of fresh against 38 grey and 38 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.

Of the 19 Cherokee Grey Wolf floorplans profiled here, the 29NM carries the highest GVWR at 8,083 pounds. It is the top of the line by weight, which makes tow-vehicle capability the first thing to settle rather than the last.

Either side of it in the same line: Cherokee Grey Wolf 29QB is 106 pounds lighter at 7,977 lb GVWR.

Against the 29NM: the Jay Flight 262RLSW is 17 lb heavier and 6 ft shorter and sleeps 3 fewer; the Forest River No Boundaries NB20.6 is 20 lb lighter and 8 ft shorter and sleeps 7 fewer; the Puma Camping Edition 303BHCE is 35 lb lighter and 4 ft shorter. Those are differences in the published numbers only — what they cost, how they are built and how they live are separate questions each of those pages answers on its own terms.

Those are the nearest travel trailers from other lines by weight — one per line, picked by proximity on that figure and nothing else. They are listed so the same tow vehicle can be checked against real alternatives, not because they are equivalent inside; layout, build and price diverge sharply across that group.

For scale, the Cherokee Grey Wolf floorplans profiled here run 4,508 to 7,356 pounds dry and 24 to 38 feet of exterior length across 19 plans. Where a floorplan falls in that spread usually says more about which vehicle can tow it, and which site it fits, than the layout name does.

Every profiled floorplan in this line, with the full weight table, is on the Cherokee Grey Wolf line hub.

This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 15 of them for the 29NM. The rest are not shown, because the alternative is reading a figure across from a sibling floorplan or from what the segment usually does — and a number nobody published is worth less than an admitted gap.

Not published for this floorplan: interior height, axle count, tire specification. If you find one of these in a manufacturer document for this plan, it belongs on this page.

The completeness figure at the foot of this page (97%) measures the same thing on the full field set: it is a measurement of how much this floorplan’s manufacturer publishes, not of how much research went into the page.

Values on this page carrying an asterisk were derived by arithmetic from published figures, or come from a single source, rather than being printed directly by the manufacturer. The flag travels with the number into the downloadable spec sheet.

How every figure here was sourced and checked is set out on the methodology page.
