2026 Wolf Den / Black Label 301BH

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 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 front 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 bedroom and real cargo margin in an affordable metal-sided trailer, the 301BH is the Wolf Den line's large-family bunkhouse.

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 301BH 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 13% of the 3,382-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 301BH with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.

The published dry tongue weight of 1,073 pounds is 14% of the 7,891-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 11,273-pound GVWR the 301BH is towing 3,382 pounds more than its 7,891-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.

Of the 6 Cherokee Wolf Den floorplans profiled here, the 301BH carries the highest GVWR at 11,273 pounds. It is the top of the line by weight, which makes tow-vehicle capability the first thing to settle rather than the last.

Either side of it in the same line: Cherokee Wolf Den 306MM is 173 pounds lighter at 11,100 lb GVWR.

Against the 301BH: the Cherokee Timberwolf 20OG is 2 lb heavier and 2 ft shorter; the Longitude 310RL is 7 lb heavier and 2 ft shorter; the Reflection 312BHTS is 22 lb heavier and sleeps 4 fewer. 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 301BH. 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 (95%) 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.

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