01 What makes it unique
The Cherokee Wolf Den 301BH is built for large families. A rear bunkhouse holds multiple bunk beds plus a flip-up for stashing gear and sleeps four on its own; the front is a private king bedroom suite; and between them a large kitchen runs a U-shaped dinette and a sofa for maximum seating, opened up by two slide-outs. With the bunk room, the king suite and the convertible dinette and sofa, the plan sleeps up to ten. A full bath with a tub and shower, an outside kitchen and two entry doors round out a trailer designed to move a crew.
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, a 10-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator and an air-fryer convection microwave, under a 20-foot power awning. The optional Black Label package adds frameless tinted glass, gel-coat sidewalls, solid-surface countertops and Thermo-Foil Arctic insulation.
The 301BH carries the line's largest cargo capacity: 7,891 pounds unloaded against a published 11,273-pound GVWR leaves about 3,382 pounds for water, gear and people — the working number for a trailer that sleeps ten, since a full crew's belongings add up fast. The higher GVWR also means a higher-rated axle pair and a heavier loaded trailer, so a capable half-ton or larger truck is needed, and the 1,073-pound hitch weight calls for the right weight-distributing hitch. For a big family that wants a dedicated bunk room, a private front king and real cargo margin in an affordable metal-sided trailer, the 301BH is the Wolf Den line's large-family bunkhouse.

03 Cherokee Wolf Den floorplan family
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 301BH 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.
| Floorplan | Nominal | Sleeps | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|
| 271RK | 36 ft | 3 | Rear-kitchen couples, front bedroom, 2 slides |
| 294GEBG | 37 ft | 9 | Three-bedroom family, queen loft + bunks, outdoor bar |
| 301BH | 38 ft | 10 | Large-family bunkhouse, front king suite, 2 slides |
| 306MM | 40 ft | 6 | Triple-slide rear-living coach, front master |
Every Cherokee Wolf Den is 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 5/8-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, a backup camera, a tankless water heater, a 12-volt high-efficiency refrigerator and an air-fryer convection microwave. The optional Black Label package adds frameless tinted automotive glass, high-gloss gel-coat sidewalls, solid-surface countertops and Thermo-Foil Arctic insulation. Lengths, weights and equipment change with options, region and model year — always confirm against the unit's own weight sticker. The remaining 2026 Wolf Den floorplans are catalogued on the line hub.
04 What owners & reviewers report
The line’s biggest cargo capacity
At about 3,382 lb of CCC, the 301BH carries the most cargo of any 2026 Wolf Den — real margin for a trailer that sleeps ten.
A dedicated rear bunk room
Multiple bunks plus a flip-up form a separate rear bunkhouse sleeping four, kept apart from the front king suite for family privacy.
A 20-foot awning over a two-slide living room
The longest awning in the lineup shades a U-dinette-and-sofa living area opened by two slides — built for group living.
A heavier trailer needs the right hitch
An 11,273-lb GVWR and a 1,073-lb hitch weight call for a capable half-ton or larger truck and a properly rated weight-distributing hitch.
GVWR is published, not derived
Forest River lists a plan-specific 11,273-lb GVWR; it reconciles exactly with 7,891 lb unloaded plus 3,382 lb cargo capacity.
Selling price is dealer-dependent
Forest River publishes no single fixed MSRP; dealer MSRP placards run into the high $50,000s while selling prices commonly land in the mid $30,000s. The figure shown is a representative selling figure and is flagged.
05 How it compares
The three-bedroom alternative — a queen loft, a private side bunk room and an outdoor bar instead of a conventional bunkhouse, for families who want separated zones.
The couples’ rear-kitchen coach — a galley and a front bedroom for two instead of bunks for a crew, lighter and simpler to tow.
The triple-slide rear-living flagship — a panoramic lounge and a front master in the longest, three-slide coach, for living space over bed count.
