Forest River Cherokee Arctic Wolf 5th Wheel reviews

I bought an arctic wolf remembering the day when arctic wolf was the best brand out there well Forest River owns article now and it's the worst trailer out there one month in sewer tank came apart six month in I figured out that a bunch of the accessories didn't work right but dealership I bought it from did their best to get everything fixed three years later the ceiling the slide is gone the roof is leaking and the plumbing is leaking and there's water damage on both end of the trailer I called Forest River cuz it the roof has 12-year warranty they said if you did not maintain the roof that 12-year warranty doesn't mean a thing the trailer is only 3 years old you think they'd stand behind their product I have Forest River one star and I really suggest that everyone stay as far away from Forest River Products Show less

This floor plan is great for families or if you want to have a separate office space to work remotely. This camper sleeps 9 easily and comfortably. The higher BTU units (2) keeps the camper nice and cold on those warmer days. The garage storage is huge. Also love the 2 refrigerators and ice maker in the outdoor kitchen. The fireplace in the living room can be set to look pretty, but also can be used as a heat source, wonderful on the chilly nights. The control panel's ability to work with the app on your phone is very handy, can check your tank levels, battery levels, control awnings and all the lights. We also enjoy the solar panel which charges the batteries. Highly recommend this camper! Show less

This has been a nightmare since day one. Everything is cheaply made, no storage inside the rv, the bunk house has no ac and yet the vent from the water heater goes directly into the bunk house making it unuseable as a bunk house. . The front a/c is not powerful enough to cool the rv in the summer months. Holes for the electrical wires and plumbing are so big that rats find it extremely easy to get into the rv and wreck havoc with the wiring,paper thin walls. The shower walls are not sealed at the bottom so water seeps down. Be sure you get an independent inspection of the rv prior to signing a contract. Dealership discourage this as if there is anything wrong they are responsible to fix it if you wait warranty might fix it but it is a long wait and you will be responsible for paying what warranty doesn’t cover.

The floor plan is excellent for families; that is the best I can say about it. If you plan on using the 5th wheel anytime the temperature outside is near or above 80 degrees, you do not want this trailer. It will not be cool, the further into the RV you go, the worse it gets. The AC is designed to deliver air 20 degrees below ambient, which means you have a trailer that will be warm when you factor in heat gain. The trailer is a 2 season trailer as long as you live in the northern tier of the United States or like it warm and do not have dogs. Factory support is nonexistent; too bad; the basic response is so sad. Steer clear and buy something else. The photo I would like to share is our unit in the Black Hills of SD. You'll notice it is in the shade; the ambient temperature was 80 degrees that day, best we could bet inside was 75. Show less

We previously owned a Grand Design Imagine and decided to upgrade for more space from a tow behind to a Fifth Wheel rig. We were pleased with Grand Design and looked at their fifth wheel models but they seemed a little pricey so we opted for a Forest River Arctic Wolf Cherokee. A bigger floor plan has been great but after a few months in the new rig we are realizing what poor quality has gone into the unit. Missed staples on the interior trim, cheap veneer quality, compartment doors that don’t close or seal properly, a missing button on the faux leather bunting, just seems like very poor materials were used on the unit. The models are supposed to get a thorough inspection before leaving the factory but whoever is signing off on these rigs the way they were allowed to leave is not doing a very good job. We’ve had the new rig for three months and keep finding issues constantly. Very disappointed at this point. Show less

This camper is the biggest pile I’ve ever owned. Extremely cheaply made. The outside isn’t too bad, but the interior is poor quality. Forest River should be ashamed for putting out such a poorly built product. Show less

while I was told this is a 4 season rv ,,forget it,,,it eats propane in the winter and both a/c struggle in the summer,,,propane lines leak,,,roof leaked 1st year,,outside weatherstripping fell apart and fell off,,,stitching on awning fell apart,,awning works when it decides it wants too,,bed fell apart,,,fresh water tank fills up on its own,,and there is not way this is a four season rv,,,oh and recliner seats fell apart in 2nd year,,and only used by 1 lightweight senior dude,,,and either nails or fasteners used under the flooring keep popping up ,,have to hammer them done on monthly time,,,Forest River left a very bad taste in quality on their products Show less

I like that toy hauler usablility. Haul your toys and doubles for sleeping, gathering and a place for the grandkids to play when necessary. I was sold on the fact that is was four season ready. It is no way near four season ready. Air gaps and floor peni\etrations are not guaranteed to be sealed. I found that the bathroom wall was bowed about 1 inch. This makes closing the door harder. Closet door was bowed so bad it popped the screws out of the hinge. Screw popping through the flooring. Screws put in really crooked. Most of the ressponses are that is just the way it is. Many other things that I tried to get them to fix before posting this review. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. Show less

Forest River Inc. you are a huge disappointment and I will make sure everyone knows about your horrible business ethics and how you don’t give a damn about your customers. Selling faulty RV’s and not honoring the warranty on a brand new RV is honestly disgusting. Don’t ever buy ANYTHING from Forest River, they are crooks. They sold us a brand new camper with a faulty water control panel, and the living room floor and fireplace are now completely ruined. They are now refusing too honor the warranty on it. A brand new 70k fifth wheel and they refuse to repair THEIR faulty equipment that damaged our BRAND NEW CAMPER. #badbusinessethics #forestriver #crooks #lemonlaw #campers #camping #fifthwheel #unprofessional #badbusiness #faultyequipment #poorcustomerservice #poorworkmanship #waterdamage #travel #rvs #traveltrailer Show less

This was a great way to learn how to work with a toy hauler, all of our stuff fit into one unit instead of an rv and a trailer, it was great to break off with our truck and be able to explore without the towing of the big unit all the time, or leave it for a few days and come back. The unit worked really well for our family of 4, lots of room, beds had great sizes kids really liked that and having the two bathrooms was a huge perk, especially with teens. Show less
