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.

Towing it
Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433). The range starts at the published dry figure, because 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 Notes on this floorplan
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.
05 How it compares
The lighter rear-living king coach — one bedroom rather than two, more cargo headroom, for couples instead of two-family travel.
The big-family bunkhouse at the same 37-foot length — open bunks and a larger outside kitchen instead of a second private bedroom, lighter dry weight.
The Forest River value-twin large-family bunkhouse — a lighter laminate I-beam build at a similar price.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 40-gallon fresh tank is about 334 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 25% of the 29QB’s 1,359 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,025 lb (146 lb per rated berth). Across 29 Cherokee Grey Wolf floorplans the water share runs 9% to 60%, and 5 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Cherokee Grey Wolf 24RRT at 25% 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).
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the Cherokee Grey Wolf 29TE, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 5 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): sleeps 7 vs 8; dry weight 6,618 lb vs 6,428 lb; GVWR 7,977 lb vs 7,837 lb; cargo capacity 1,359 lb vs 1,409 lb; dry hitch weight 977 lb vs 837 lb. They match on length, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 3 recall campaigns and 10 owner complaints against the Cherokee Grey Wolf line. They are counted separately: a recall is a confirmed defect with a remedy, a complaint one owner’s unverified account.
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%).
Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Cherokee Grey Wolf line page.
