01 What makes it unique

The Cherokee Grey Wolf 29QB is the line's two-bedroom family coach — the layout for buyers who want real separation rather than open bunks. A front master holds a queen with direct private bathroom access; a fully separate rear bedroom holds a second queen for older children, guests or a quiet office; and the main living area between them carries a mid-ship kitchen and a U-shaped dinette plus a sofa on the large slide, which together add sleeping space for a seventh person. Dual entry doors give outdoor access to the central bath, and an outside kitchen handles cooking out of doors across the trailer's 37 feet.

It is built on the Grey Wolf platform — a wood-frame body with aluminum sidewall construction and the Cherokee Stable Step — with the Black Label trim adding Thermo-Foil Arctic insulation, gel-coat sidewalls and frameless tinted windows. Standard equipment includes a 15,000-BTU air conditioner (a second is optional), a 200-watt solar panel, a 20,000-BTU furnace, an air-fryer convection microwave, a tankless water heater and an 11-cubic-foot 12V refrigerator. A 15-foot power awning and a full outside kitchen extend the living space outdoors.

At 6,618 pounds dry against a 7,977-pound GVWR the 29QB leaves about 1,359 pounds of cargo capacity — adequate for a coach focused on comfortable two-couple or small-family travel rather than maximum gear, so it rewards deliberate packing and a well-equipped half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck. The fresh tank is a modest 40 gallons. For families who specifically want two private bedrooms and an outside kitchen at a value-tier price — without stepping into a fifth wheel — the 29QB is one of the most distinctive plans in the Grey Wolf line.

Loaded weight budget

Loaded weight budget for the 29QBHorizontal bar. Dry weight 6,618 pounds, then cargo capacity 1,359 pounds, against a GVWR of 7,977 pounds. Dry tongue weight 977 pounds on the same scale.GVWR 7,977 lbsDry 6,618 lbsCargo capacity 1,359 lbsDry tongue weight 977 lbs — same scale
Drawn from this page’s published figures. The bar runs from empty to GVWR: the dark band is dry weight, the light band is everything you are allowed to add — water, propane, batteries and gear all come out of it.

Overall length and height are drawn true to scale from the published figures, and the end view uses the same scale. Axle count is as published; axle position, wheel size and the nose profile are schematic. This is a size drawing, not a floorplan, and not a claim about body shape.

Published tank capacities on one scale. A full fresh tank is about 334 lbs of water — roughly 25% of this plan’s 1,359 lb cargo capacity, before you load anything else.

These graphics are generated from the same verified record that builds the table above, and are published under this site’s own licence — nothing here is traced from, or derived from, a manufacturer drawing or photo. Where a figure is not published for this plan, the graphic that would need it is omitted rather than estimated. The full record is in the published dataset.

What it takes to tow this

Built from this floorplan’s verified weights. We publish the trailer side only.

Minimum tow rating your vehicle needs7,977 lb
Published dry tongue weight977 lb
Loaded tongue weight, typical range977–1,197 lb
Minimum receiver hitch capacity7,977 lb towed / 1,197 lb tongue
The tongue weight above is dry. It is the figure the manufacturer publishes for an empty trailer. Loaded — with water, propane, batteries and your gear — it runs higher, which is why the range row uses loaded weight. Sizing your truck off the dry number under-budgets your payload.
The arithmetic that actually binds. Open your driver’s door and read the payload figure on the yellow-and-white sticker — that number is specific to your truck as built. Subtract from it: loaded tongue weight (use the range above), every passenger, everything in the bed and cab, and the weight-distributing hitch itself where one is used. What is left is your margin. Payload, not tow rating, is what most half-ton owners run out of first.

We do not publish tow ratings for specific trucks. A single model can vary by thousands of pounds depending on engine, axle ratio, cab, drivetrain and package — the only authoritative figure is the one on your own door jamb. Loaded tongue percentages are industry convention for travel trailers (10–15% of loaded weight), not a measurement of this unit. Hitch classes are not used here as a rating: SAE J684 covers trailers to 10,000 lb GVWR and does not define Class V, and capacity boundaries differ between manufacturers — read the rating stamped on your hitch. On this plan the convention band’s low end fell below the published dry figure, so the range starts at the published dry weight instead — loaded is never lighter than dry.

03 Cherokee Grey Wolf floorplan family

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 29QB 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.

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

Two genuine private bedrooms

A front queen master with its own bath access and a fully separate rear queen bedroom — real privacy for two couples, a parent-and-teens family, or camping-with-an-office, rather than open bunks.

Heaviest tongue in the profiled set

At 977 lb the 29QB carries the highest hitch weight of the profiled Grey Wolf plans — pair it with an adequate weight-distributing hitch and confirm your truck's tongue rating.

Plan payload and water deliberately

At ~1,359 lb of cargo capacity and a 40-gallon fresh tank it is built for comfort rather than maximum hauling — weigh it loaded and pack with the rating in mind.

Starting MSRP is dealer-dependent

Forest River publishes no single fixed MSRP; advertised dealer MSRPs cluster around $50,000–52,000 and selling prices run many thousands below. The figure shown is representative and flagged.

06 Loading it for a trip

This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 40-gallon fresh tank is roughly 25% of the 1,359-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 29QB with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.

Cargo budget left with a full fresh tank1,025 lb25% of this plan’s capacity is spent before a single bag is loaded.
Per sleeping position, water aboard146 lbA rough share of what is left across the 7 berths this plan sleeps.

The published dry tongue weight of 977 pounds is 15% of the 6,618-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 7,977-pound GVWR the 29QB is towing 1,359 pounds more than its 6,618-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.

Tank balance is generous here: 40 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.

07 Where this floorplan sits

Ranked by GVWR, the 29QB sits 18 of 19 in the Cherokee Grey Wolf line: 7,977 pounds against a line that runs from 7,575 to 8,083 pounds. That position is the useful thing to know, because the plans immediately either side of it are the real alternatives.

Either side of it in the same line: Cherokee Grey Wolf 26DBH is 37 pounds lighter at 7,940 lb GVWR; and Cherokee Grey Wolf 29NM is 106 pounds heavier at 8,083 lb GVWR.

Against the 29QB: the Coachmen Apex Ultra-Lite 291TBSS is 3 lb heavier and 3 ft shorter and sleeps 2 more; the IBEX 25MLB is 4 lb lighter and 7 ft shorter; the Campsite Ultra 26BW is 8 lb heavier and 6 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.

08 Common questions about the 29QB

How much does the 29QB weigh?

It leaves the factory at 6,618 pounds dry, and its manufacturer-set loaded ceiling (GVWR) is 7,977 pounds. Real towing weight lands between the two and depends entirely on what you load. Use the GVWR when matching a tow vehicle; the dry figure is only useful for comparing floorplans against each other.

How much can the 29QB carry?

Cargo carrying capacity is 1,359 pounds. That is the whole budget: water, propane, batteries, gear and everything you bring. Filling the 40-gallon fresh tank uses about 334 pounds of that.

What is the tongue weight of the 29QB?

The published dry tongue weight is 977 pounds. It is measured empty; loaded, it runs higher, and it comes out of your tow vehicle’s payload rather than its tow rating.

What size tow vehicle does the 29QB need?

Your vehicle needs a tow rating of at least 7,977 pounds — this floorplan’s GVWR — and enough payload left over for the hitch load, passengers and anything in the bed. This site does not publish tow ratings for specific vehicles, because one truck model varies by thousands of pounds across engine, axle ratio, cab and package. The figure that governs is the payload sticker on your own door jamb.

How many people does the 29QB sleep?

It is rated to sleep 7. Rated sleeping positions include convertible furniture, so count the beds against how you actually travel rather than against the number.

What are the tank capacities on the 29QB?

Fresh 40 gallons, grey 38 gallons, black 38 gallons. Tank sizes set how long the floorplan can sit away from hookups, and the smallest of the three is what ends the stay.

How long is the 29QB?

Exterior length is 36' 8". Measure against your site length and your storage before committing — the exterior figure is the one that has to fit, and it includes the tongue or pin box.

Every figure in these answers is read from this page’s verified specification table. Where the manufacturer publishes nothing, the question is not answered rather than estimated.

09 What this page publishes, and what it does not

This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 15 of them for the 29QB. 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.

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

11 NHTSA safety record

This floorplan belongs to the Cherokee Grey Wolf line, and NHTSA holds 3 recall campaigns and 10 owner complaints against that line. They are separate records and are not added together — a recall is a manufacturer-confirmed defect with a remedy; a complaint is one owner’s account, which NHTSA does not verify.

What to look at on a used one. Across the 10 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are structure (30%), electrical system (10%) and electronic stability control (esc) (10%). That is where owners of this family have had trouble, so it is where an inspection is worth the time.

Recall coverage is not complete — our harvest of NHTSA’s recall API ran 1,556 queries, of which 0 failed and 242 returned an explicit zero. A line can still be under-reported where NHTSA files a roster under a parent name, or where a match rests on the wording of the recall rather than its model field. Complaints come from the complete bulk file but are unverified and self-selected: a high count tracks how many units a line sold at least as much as how well it was built. Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Cherokee Grey Wolf line page.
