2026 Wolf Den 271RK

The Cherokee Wolf Den 271RK puts the kitchen across the back of the trailer. A full rear galley runs the back wall with generous counter space, a large sink, a flush-mount cooktop, a microwave and a 10-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator; a slide-out opens the mid living area with a jackknife sofa and a booth dinette, both of which convert to extra berths; and the front is a private bedroom with a queen bed, dual wardrobes and overhead storage. A full bath with a foot-flush toilet, a tub and shower and a vanity serves the unit, and an outside kitchen extends cooking out of doors.

Wolf Den is Forest River's large-format Cherokee value line — built on Power Gear frame technology with a Space Saver Rail design, high-impact front metal in place of corrugated metal, an aerodynamic smooth-radius front, a Tufflex PVC seamless walk-on roof, an armored underbelly and a five-eighths-inch tongue-and-groove plywood floor, riding on the Cherokee Exclusive Stable Step. Standard equipment is full-size: a 15,000-BTU air conditioner, a 30,000-BTU furnace, a 200-watt solar panel with a 40-amp controller and a battery disconnect, a backup camera, a tankless water heater and an air-fryer convection microwave. The optional Black Label package adds frameless tinted automotive glass, gel-coat sidewalls, solid-surface countertops and Thermo-Foil Arctic insulation.

At 7,569 pounds unloaded against a published 9,995-pound GVWR it leaves about 2,426 pounds of cargo capacity — comfortable for a couple's water, food and gear in a trailer of this size — and the tandem-axle, 36-foot body needs a capable half-ton or larger tow vehicle rather than an SUV. The rear-kitchen layout trades a rear lounge for a serious galley, which suits cooks but means the living-room seating doubles as the dinette and the only convertible sleeping space. For two travelers who want a full kitchen and a private front bedroom in an affordable, metal-sided full-size trailer, the 271RK is the Wolf Den line's rear-kitchen couples' coach.

The Cherokee Wolf Den is Forest River's large-format value travel trailer — a full-size, family-and-couples line in the Cherokee division, separate from and bigger than the entry Wolf Pup. The 2026 lineup is six floorplans from roughly 33 to 40 feet, all built on the same metal-sided Cherokee stick-and-tin recipe with 12-volt residential equipment. The 271RK on this page is highlighted; each other profiled plan links to its own page. The highest-demand layouts are detailed here and the rest of the lineup is catalogued on the line hub.
