01 What makes it unique

The Cherokee Wolf Den 306MM is the line's flagship: a triple-slide rear-living coach just over 40 feet. The rear is an entertainment lounge wrapped in panoramic windows, with two opposing sofa slides, two recliners, a rear entertainment center and an electric fireplace, plus a bar top with two stools overlooking the room. Ahead of it a chef's kitchen runs a kitchen bar and a dinette slide with slide-out drawers and a full-door pantry, and the front is a private master suite with a walk-around queen. Outside, a camp kitchen with entertainment speakers and a TV bracket lives under the power awning. Two entry doors and three slides make a genuinely open, livable footprint.

Wolf Den is Forest River's large-format Cherokee value line — built on Power Gear frame technology with 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 with a quick-cool air-dump feature, a 30,000-BTU furnace, a 200-watt solar panel, a backup camera, a tankless water heater and a 12-volt refrigerator. The optional Black Label package adds frameless tinted glass, gel-coat sidewalls, solid-surface countertops and Thermo-Foil Arctic insulation.

At 8,578 pounds unloaded against a published 11,100-pound GVWR it leaves about 2,522 pounds of cargo capacity, and the fresh-water tank is 40 gallons — smaller than the 52-gallon tanks on the shorter plans, a trade for the triple-slide living space. As a 40-foot, tandem-axle coach with a higher GVWR, the 306MM needs a capable half-ton or larger tow vehicle and a properly rated weight-distributing hitch. This is a couples-oriented layout — the convertible sofas extend the sleeping count to six — rather than a bunkhouse. For two travelers, or a small family, who want a panoramic rear living room and a private front master in the largest Wolf Den, the 306MM is the line's flagship coach.

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 306MM 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.

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

A panoramic triple-slide rear lounge

Two opposing sofa slides, two recliners, a fireplace and wrap-around windows make the rear a real living room — the line’s most open layout.

A private front master suite

A walk-around queen in a closed-off front bedroom separates sleeping from the rear lounge — a couples’ coach, not a bunkhouse.

A 40-gallon fresh tank, not 52

The triple-slide floor trades tank volume for living space: fresh water is 40 gallons here versus 52 on the shorter plans — plan refills accordingly.

Sleeps six, on convertibles

Listed sleeping varies by source between six and eight; current 2026 dealer specs show six, on the convertible sofas. The plan is couples-oriented; the figure shown follows the current factory-aligned dealer listings and is flagged.

A 40-foot coach needs a capable tow vehicle

An 11,100-lb GVWR and a 40-foot body call for a capable half-ton or larger truck and a properly rated weight-distributing hitch.

Selling price is dealer-dependent

Forest River publishes no single fixed MSRP; dealer MSRP placards on this plan run into the low-to-mid $60,000s while selling prices commonly land in the mid $30,000s. The figure shown is a representative selling figure and is flagged.
