If there's one word that sums up what makes Forest River's Cherokee Alpha Wolf travel trailers so appealing to so many buyers, it has to be "versatility." With floor models that sleep from four to nine, there's something to love for both couples and families big and small.
We love the fun luxuries packed into this line. The Alpha Wolf enables you to enjoy the feeling of home away from home, no matter where you roam.
Cherokee Alpha Wolf Travel Trailer Exterior Features
In this class, most travel trailers are outfitted with closed-cell rigid foam insulation in the frame and fiberglass exterior walls. Lamination is another option. Here, the layers of the walls are joined together with a robotically-applied glue and a vacuum application that bonds the layers together into single, solid panels.
Forest River has opted for lamination with this line. Because the Cherokee Alpha Wolf is fully laminated, you'll enjoy greater durability and a lighter tow weight. This is excellent news if you enjoy more rugged campsites.
Let's take a look at some of the exterior features that make the Alpha Wolf a popular choice for families.
Ease of Access
The Alpha Wolf has two exit-entry doors, which means your whole group can easily hop in and out of the RV without getting in one another's way. Having two doors also means you can accommodate a variety of sleep schedules. If some of your family likes to get up early, they won't disturb the late sleepers.
Stabilization and Maneuverability
Big campers are great, but when the slides are out and you have a full house, they can feel a bit bouncy. The optional four-corner power stabilizer jacks add a great deal of stability to these campers, a feature you'll appreciate if you're accomodating a larger group.
The crystal clear backup camera option is another great add-on. Having this "extra set of eyes" makes it easy to back into odd spaces, and it's always helpful to have another way to watch for foot traffic behind your RV.
Outdoor Entertainment
The Alpha Wolf outdoor kitchen is fully equipped with an outdoor fridge and an ice maker. It's amazing how many in-and-out trips you can save by having easy access to drinks outside.
You'll also love the Alpha Wolf full-size awning, fully controllable through your smartphone. It's big enough to keep you dry during a rainy camp day and cooler on hot, sunny days.
Additional Options
The Forest River Alpha Wolf line comes with all the basics and a long list of additional utilities and features that will add convenience and livability. You can cozy up by a warm fire or invite the neighbors over for an outdoor screening of the big game.

Inside the Cherokee Alpha Wolf Travel Trailer Line
As campers have evolved, one of the most popular newer features has been gas-operated fireplaces. Alpha Wolf offers several floor models that make the fireplace a centerpiece of the entertainment area. If you haven't had a chance to camp with a built-in fireplace, you'll be amazed at how much more appealing cold weather camping will become.
