Cherokee Travel Trailers & Fifth Wheels for Sale

Cherokee is one of Forest River's highest-volume towable families, built in Elkhart, Indiana by the Berkshire Hathaway-owned RV giant and sold in enormous numbers across the country. The lineup is entirely towable and wide-ranging: the value-priced Grey Wolf and Wolf Pup bumper-pull travel trailers; the upgraded Cherokee and Cherokee Black Label travel trailers and fifth wheels with fiberglass gel-coat walls, frameless windows, and arctic insulation; the four-season Arctic Wolf fifth wheel; and the Wolf Pack fifth-wheel toy haulers with big rear garages. Cherokee is the near-identical twin of Forest River's Wildwood line — the two share floor plans, construction, components, and price points and are built side by side, so a Cherokee shopper should always cross-shop Wildwood and buy on price and condition. The honest caveat is the one that comes with any high-volume value brand: Cherokee builds a staggering number of units a year on shared Lippert, Dometic, Furrion, and Lippert components, and owner reviews are heavy with water-intrusion, slide, appliance, trim, and quality-control complaints, plus uneven dealer and warranty service from Forest River. On RV Insider the Grey Wolf averages about 3.4 stars and the Arctic Wolf about 3.1, both at or just below the industry norm, and Forest River itself is not BBB accredited and carries a low customer-review score. None of that makes a Cherokee a bad buy — these are genuinely affordable, livable, well-laid-out trailers — but it makes a thorough pre-purchase inspection of the roof, seals, slides, and appliances absolutely essential. Below is a current towable range with real specs, real floor plans, and a candid read on what owners praise and what they warn about, so you can shop a Cherokee for sale knowing exactly what you are getting.

Here's the part the lot won't tell you: the best Cherokee deals are usually two to four years old. Let the first owner eat the steep early depreciation, then buy a rig that's already been shaken down, with the bugs sorted and the records to prove it. That's exactly the kind of unit our RV buyer's agents hunt for, and we run an independent inspection on every one before you wire a dollar. Already own one and ready to move on? We'll list and sell it through our RV broker service for the retail number it's worth — not the wholesale gutting a dealer offers on trade.
