2026 Wolf Den / Black Label 294GEBG

The Cherokee Wolf Den 294GEBG is a genuine three-bedroom trailer. The rear holds two separate sleeping areas — a full queen loft bed and, off to the side behind a wall, a private bunk room with a 64-inch top bunk over a 36-inch bottom bunk and wardrobes on either side — while the front is a private bedroom with dual wardrobes and a door into a dual-entry bath with a neo-angle shower. A U-shaped dinette and a sofa in the mid living area convert to still more berths, so the plan sleeps nine. The single slide-out keeps the floor simple for a trailer this full of beds.

What sets the 294GEBG apart is the exclusive outdoor Full Bar and Grill: a side-by-side refrigerator and freezer, an ice maker, a pull-out cooktop, a sink and large storage areas built into the trailer's flank, separating the rear bunk area from the outdoor kitchen and turning the campsite into the social space. Wolf Den is Forest River's large-format Cherokee value line, built on Power Gear frame technology with high-impact front metal, an aerodynamic smooth-radius front, a Tufflex PVC walk-on roof and an armored underbelly, riding on the Cherokee Stable Step. Standard equipment runs to a 15,000-BTU air conditioner, a 30,000-BTU furnace, a 200-watt solar panel, a backup camera and a tankless water heater; the optional Black Label package upgrades the glass, sidewalls, countertops and insulation.

At 7,336 pounds unloaded against a published 9,995-pound GVWR it leaves about 2,659 pounds of cargo capacity — useful margin for a family loading a trailer that sleeps nine — and the tandem-axle, 37-foot body needs a capable half-ton or larger tow vehicle. A trailer with this many beds fills quickly, so the cargo number matters: water, food and gear for a large group add up, and the loaded trailer should be weighed. For a big family or two families traveling together who want separated sleeping zones, an outdoor entertaining kitchen and a private front bedroom, the 294GEBG is the Wolf Den line's three-bedroom family plan.

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, and each is also sold as a Cherokee Black Label trim with its own factory-published weights. The 294GEBG on this page is highlighted; every 2026 plan links to its own page.

This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 52-gallon fresh tank is roughly 16% of the 2,659-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 294GEBG with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.

The published dry tongue weight of 927 pounds is 13% of the 7,336-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 9,995-pound GVWR the 294GEBG is towing 2,659 pounds more than its 7,336-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.

Tank balance is generous here: 52 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.

Ranked by GVWR, the 294GEBG sits 3 of 6 in the Cherokee Wolf Den line: 9,995 pounds against a line that runs from 9,995 to 11,273 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 Wolf Den 273XLK matches it exactly at 9,995 lb GVWR; and Cherokee Wolf Den 304SR matches it exactly at 9,995 lb GVWR.

3 other Cherokee Wolf Den plans share this floorplan’s 9,995 lb GVWR, so the ranking above separates plans that tow to the same ceiling. On a shared chassis the figure that actually differs between them is cargo capacity and where the weight sits, not the rating.

Against the 294GEBG: the Puma Ambush 27TH is 2 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 Wolf Den floorplans profiled here run 7,336 to 8,989 pounds dry and 34 to 40 feet of exterior length across 6 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.

Every profiled floorplan in this line, with the full weight table, is on the Cherokee Wolf Den line hub.

This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 16 of them for the 294GEBG. 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, 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 (94%) 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.

Values on this page carrying an asterisk were derived by arithmetic from published figures, or come from a single source, rather than being printed directly by the manufacturer. The flag travels with the number into the downloadable spec sheet.

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