2026 Forest River Cherokee Timberwolf39NA

The Cherokee Timberwolf 39NA has 1,809 lbs of cargo capacity between 11,805 lbs dry and its 13,614 lbs GVWR, 13% of that rating; filling its 40-gallon fresh tank at 8.3 lb a gallon uses 332 lbs of it (how to read trailer weights).

Tongue weight is 1,614 lbs, 14% of the dry weight as published; it rises as the trailer is loaded and counts against the tow vehicle’s tongue-weight and payload limits (tongue weight by size).

Off hookups: 150 gallons of grey and black capacity against 40 gallons of fresh water, so fresh water runs out first (tank sizes by length).

Against the rest of the Cherokee Timberwolf roster this is the 8th of 11 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 7,109 lbs to 12,589 lbs. It sits in the heavier third of the line.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 11,805 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 12,709 lbs, and the published GVWR of 13,614 lbs is the limit (how to read trailer weights).

Forest River’s line listing and this floorplan’s own factory page agree on all 4 shared figures. Dry weight plus cargo capacity equals the published GVWR exactly. A missing row means Forest River does not publish that figure (how figures are verified).

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. 39NA is a Cherokee Timberwolf designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 39NA differs from the other ten Cherokee Timberwolf floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

• GVWR, 13,614 lb: highest of eleven; next is the 39DC (13,470 lb).
• Tongue weight, 1,614 lb: heaviest of eleven; next is the 39DC (1,470 lb).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 13.7%: second-largest of eleven, between the 20OG and 39TN (13%) and the 16ML (14.6%).
• Exterior height, 12 ft 11 in: second-lowest of eleven, between the 39TN (12 ft 9 in) and the 39DL and 39JM (13 ft 4 in).
• Dry weight, 11,805 lb: fourth-heaviest of eleven, between the 39DC (11,554 lb) and the 39DK (11,979 lb).
• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 13.3%: fourth-smallest of eleven, between the 39DK (9.6%) and the 39DC (14.2%).
• Cargo capacity, 1,809 lb: fifth-smallest of eleven, between the 27MDK (1,800 lb) and the 39DC (1,916 lb).
• Grey tank, 80 gal: largest of eleven, level with the 39DC, 39HBA and 39JM; next are the 39AL and 39DK (70 gal).
• Black tank, 70 gal: shared with the 39DC and 39HBA; of eleven, seven smaller and one larger, nearest the 16ML, 20OG and four others (40 gal) and the 39JM (80 gal).
• Length, 42 ft 8 in: shared with the 39DL; of eleven, four shorter and five longer, nearest the 39TN (40 ft 7 in) and the 39JM (43 ft 4 in).

Next to the 39DC, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 39NA is 251 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 144 lb higher, has 107 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 144 lb heavier, is 2 ft 3 in shorter and stands 7 in lower; the two publish the same fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Next to the 39DK, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 39NA is 174 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 359 lb higher, has 533 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 359 lb heavier, is 1 ft 1 in shorter, stands 7 in lower, has a grey tank 10 gal larger and has a black tank 30 gal larger; the two publish the same fresh tank.

Timberwolf carries the widest cargo spread of any line in this group: 876 lb at the bottom of the roster and 4,296 lb at the top, a factor of nearly five, on trailers 7,109 to 12,589 lb dry. Two of the eleven published plans are in a separate mini-loft travel-trailer grouping and the other nine are destination trailers. Hitch weight stays between 1,040 and 1,614 lb across the whole range, so the hitch figure alone will not tell you which end of the line you are looking at - the cargo number will.

A full 40-gallon fresh tank is about 332 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 18% of the 39NA’s 1,809 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,477 lb. Across 11 Cherokee Timberwolf floorplans the water share runs 8% to 38%, and 4 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Cherokee Timberwolf 39DC at 17% and Cherokee Timberwolf 27MDK at 18%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
