01 What makes it unique
The Cherokee Grey Wolf 29TE is the big-family flagship of the line — a 37-foot bunkhouse built around a serious outdoor-living setup. A rear bunkhouse sleeps the kids, a private front bedroom anchors the other end, dual entry doors give outdoor access to the bathroom, and the exterior kitchen is a genuine outdoor galley with a side-by-side refrigerator/freezer, an ice maker, a cooktop, a sink and storage. It is designed for families who do most of their cooking and living outside the trailer.
It carries the Grey Wolf build — 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. A 13,500-BTU air conditioner is standard and a solar package is available. Despite the length and family focus it stays relatively light at 6,428 pounds dry.
Against a 7,837-pound GVWR that leaves about 1,410 pounds of payload, which a large family fills quickly once water, gear and the loaded outside kitchen are aboard, so it rewards deliberate packing and a well-equipped half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck and a full-size site. RVUSA does not publish the refrigerator's cubic footage, so it is flagged. For large families who want maximum beds and a true outdoor kitchen at a value-tier price, the 29TE is the Grey Wolf line's family flagship.

04 What owners & reviewers report
A true outdoor-living family flagship
37 feet with a rear bunkhouse, dual entry and a full exterior kitchen — side-by-side fridge, ice maker, cooktop and sink — built for families who live outside.
Sleeps eight with real separation
A private front bedroom and a rear bunk room at opposite ends give a big family room and privacy in the line's top family plan.
Plan the truck, site and payload
At 6,428 lb dry, ~1,410 lb payload and 37 feet it needs a well-equipped half-ton or 3/4-ton and a full-size site — weigh it loaded.
Refrigerator size not published
RVUSA's structured record confirms a refrigerator but not its cubic footage; it is shown unverified and excluded from the completeness figure.
05 How it compares
The shorter double-bunk family bunkhouse — lighter and cheaper, with a smaller outside kitchen.
The value-twin large-family bunkhouse — a lighter laminate I-beam build with an outside kitchen, at a similar price.
The value big-family bunkhouse from Jayco — a different build at a similar price point.
