2025 Forest River Cherokee Wolf Pack 350PACK15 Review

There are a lot of assumptions buyers often make about toy haulers — and those assumptions can vary by buyer. One assumption would be that it’s sole purpose really is to transport those outdoor toys. A second might be that a fifth-wheel toy hauler should give you that carrying capacity plus every extravagance of a fifth wheel. But the Forest River Cherokee Wolf Pack 350Pack15 is a fifth-wheel toy hauler tries to do both.

As a large toy hauler, the Cherokee Wolf Pack 350PACK15 is clearly meant to haul toys. And it can certainly do that, easily swallowing larger items. However, the typical abundance of sleeping space that RV shoppers find in some other fifth-wheel toy haulers isn’t something that is part of this picture. Looking at its hybrid nature — half toy hauler, half fifth wheel — it definitely favors one role more than the other.

 

At a Glance: Cherokee Wolf Pack 350Pack15

I gave the Cherokee Wolf Pack 350PACK15 a rating of 7.2 out of 10. While it shows exceptional capabilities as a toy hauler, it’s really more of an entry-level fifth wheel. This kind of model serves some owners extremely well and earns high marks for value. At the end of the day, a buyer is getting a lot for this price.

Features We Love

• Back-up camera included
• Provision for side-view camera
• Leash latches
• Two and half kitchens
• Kitchen stuff
• MAXXAIR fan with rain sensing and remote

 

 

Benefits

• Tremendous capacity to carry toys. For those who prioritize hauling toys, it doesn’t get much better than this. The garage is enormous and is configured as an essentially unobstructed space that measures a full 15 feet in length and 97.5 inches in width. Plus, the cargo carrying capacity of this trailer, at well over two tons, is another feather in its cap. 
• Visibility while towing. Many RVers who tow their rigs opt to install a back-up camera to help with backing into spaces or even seeing who’s back there and what gestures they’re making. It’s nice that this trailer includes a back-up camera and also is prewired for side-view cameras and even an observation camera in the cargo hold to keep an eye on things in the cargo hold. 
• Pet friendly. The leash latches are intended to be used to keep pets attached to the trailer but could also be used to help lock things like bikes or other toys. There is one at the front and one at the rear of this trailer. 

 

Challenges

• Entry-level tires and suspension. The tires and suspension on this trailer are very entry-level pieces. Moreover, the tires don’t have a remote tire pressure monitor system (TPMS) either. This would be the first thing I’d change with a trailer that can weigh almost ten tons. 
• Tough-to-access sewer connection. The sewer connection is under the main slide room with two gate valves also under the slide room. So, it’s best to hook the sewer up before opening the slide, unless you are part of the traveling contortionist performers. (In which case, this is no biggie.)
• Cable-slide mechanisms. Some people are wary of cable slide mechanisms. While I have found them to be reliable, it is ideal to keep an eye on the tension on the cables, which can be adjusted. 

 

 

Best For

• Toy-hauling enthusiasts. The most obvious use case for this RV is for those who want to carry toys. With a huge garage, optional onboard fueling station, and great provisions for hauling toys, that would be a very clear use case. 
• Campers who love to gather. This could also serve those well who like to hold in-RV celebrations. The cargo bay is huge and has a mini-fridge, fireplace, and even a sink so it would be a great place for celebrations. That is only made more obvious by the fact that the ramp door at the back can be set-up like a patio complete with a built-in fence around it to keep people from stumbling off the edge. 
• Trade-show businesses. Because the cargo hold is so unobstructed, and there is a sliding glass patio door, you might even make the case that this would be a great choice for a company that does trade shows as well. 

 

Key Areas We Evaluate for RV Buyers

Sleeping Space

Being a fifth-wheel, the main bedroom of the Cherokee Wolf Pack 350PACK15 is upstairs over the pin box. This bed is a king-size model, and the bedroom itself has some unusual features that work out well. Under the bed are two stands that accommodate totes and are included with the trailer. These totes make a great way to pack and unpack this RV. (Individuals onboard could simply take responsibility for their own totes.)

There is a hanging closet on the road side of the bedroom and a nightstand on the camp side rather than closets on both sides. This is typical. There is also a closet at the back of the bedroom with provisions for hanging storage. Also, there are shelves in the lower half of the closet which can be taken out. Here is also where you’ll find provisions for a combo washer-dryer. 

Beyond the Bedroom

There is a sleeping loft at the back of the main living space over the cargo area. This can accommodate one individual. For that person, there’s a ladder that can access the loft either from the main living space or from the cargo hold. This space also has a sliding door to block it off from the main living space. You can also use the dinette and drop the table down so that the dinette becomes an additional bed. 

But something that you won’t find are any other lifted or moving beds in the cargo hold. While these are typical in most toy haulers, they’re not here as the cargo bay is really best situated for hauling toys. Or parties.

 

 

Bathroom

While many fifth-wheel toy haulers have rather elaborate bathrooms, or, at least, elaborate features, the Cherokee Wolf Pack 350PACK15 has a very straightforward bathroom. The design includes a stall shower that has a curtain, a foot-flush toilet. Nicely, there is a decent amount of counter space for the sink. If you imagine the bathroom in a more affordable travel trailer, you won’t be far off as opposed to the typically more elaborate fifth-wheel bathrooms. 

 

 

Living Area

The main living space in the Cherokee Wolf Pack 350PACK15 has a booth dinette and a theater seat. As mentioned, the booth dinette folds down to make a bed. but theater seats are always theater seats. (Although anyone knows you can sleep in these at the drop of a hat once you’ve achieved my age.) That theater seat faces a TV and electric fireplace.

Under the dinette are very, very long drawers. This arrangement is a classic Cherokee trademark and really does make for good storage.  

An interesting extension of the main living space is in the cargo hold of the Cherokee Wolf Pack 350PACK15. It features a flip-up table and a couple of bar-height chairs. There’s also a bar-sized fridge, an electric fireplace, and even a fold-down sink. Perhaps someone was thinking of holding parties. If so, this could be a great space to do so, especially with a second TV hung from the upper portion of the space. The ramp door on this can also form a patio. And there is a folding screen mechanism that surrounds the ramp when it is in patio mode. 

 

 

Kitchen

I guess you could almost say there are two-and-one-half kitchens in the Cherokee Wolf Pack 350PACK15. The most obvious one is in the main living space. That kitchen features a three-burner propane stove plus a convection/air fryer microwave oven. There’s also a 12-volt fridge. 

Something that feels more upscale is the multifunctional sink. It includes trays for washing veggies, drying dishes, and straining — along with a wooden cutting board and glass washer plus commercial-style faucet. (Nice!) 

For kitchen storage, the highlight of that is behind the TV and fireplace. (It can swing out like a secret door in an old-fashioned horror movie.) When open, it reveals a very large pantry. There are also a few drawers in the kitchen and some overhead storage. 

In addition to the indoor kitchen, there’s also an outdoor kitchen that features a propane griddle, bar-sized fridge, and an ice maker. There’s also a spray port out here to get pressurized water but not a sink which is fine, there are plenty of aftermarket folding kitchens out there, and you’ll want a table anyway. 

Regarding the half-kitchen I referenced, that would be the one in the cargo hold with yet another bar-sized fridge and a drop-down sink. Although, really, that’s more of a wet bar and I think that’s the whole point of that space. 

 

 

Four-Season Capabilities

For those who like to camp in colder or warmer climates, the Cherokee Wolf Pack 350PACK15 wouldn’t be a horrible choice. Its underbelly is enclosed and heated, and there are also heat pads on the holding tanks. But there is an asterisk. The challenge is in the sewer hook-ups. These are long and exposed to the elements. Nobody wants their holding tanks to freeze the sewer connections, and pipes freezing would be unpleasant at best. So, the Cherokee Wolf Pack 350PACK15 would work best in more temperate winter conditions — versus harsh freezing conditions.

 

Storage Space

There is storage also in the front of the Cherokee Wolf Pack 350PACK15, as you might expect in a fifth-wheel toy hauler. That same compartment is available from both sides as well as from the front of the trailer. 

Unexpected highlights are the storage compartments upstairs in the bedroom and under the bed with the totes built into them. I really like this type of arrangement. 

If you don’t need the upper loft for sleeping, it could also be used for storage of things like helmets or whatever, really.

 

 

Chassis/Suspension

The suspension on the Cherokee Wolf Pack 350PACK15 is a very basic leaf spring design. Frankly, this is not my favorite. The better a suspension is at absorbing vibration and harshness, the less that is transmitted to the RV itself. Leaf spring suspensions are relatively inexpensive but do little to absorb vibration. Further the dry-bolt system isn’t designed to be lubricated. Therefore, it can wear out more quickly. Many RVers find themselves upgrading this type of suspension, especially in an RV of this size. 

The tires also come without a remote tire pressure monitor system. So, were I to purchase this RV, that would be one of the very first upgrades I would make.

 

 

Build Quality

The Cherokee Wolf Pack 350PACK15 is pretty standard in how it’s built — not exceptional overall but nothing that stands out as being especially bad either. 

Some features are simply more entry-level. The low-grade tires and suspension are certainly examples of things that could be done better. Also, the baggage compartment doors are relatively thin with very basic camlocks. Other details include the blinds on the windows —simple accordion-folding shades that don’t do a great job of blocking out light. 

I will say the sewer connection and gate valves are under the main living room slide so you’ll either want to practice up on your contortionist tendencies or hook everything up before the slide is extended. This is how I do my own trailer which is set-up in much the same way. 

However, the Cherokee Wolf Pack 350PACK15 balances out some nice touches, like those mentioned in the kitchen. I also like that Cherokee uses upgraded vent fans, which is a major improvement on entry-level fans that basically do nothing.

Right in the middle, you could place the windows with their mirror finish. Cherokee uses these for fifth wheels, and it has polarized some. They work well to reflect light and the sun’s rays, but they also can be intrusive to other campers. Personally, I don’t think they’re bothersome, but it’s something to know if you stand on either side of the aisle.

 

 

Garage

If you’re looking to buy a fifth-wheel toy hauler specifically for the garage, I got news for you: The Cherokee Wolf Pack 350PACK15 is one to consider. At an overall length of 15-feet, a width of over 8 feet, and multiple tie-downs, this toy hauler can really haul toys. Further, this RV has a cargo carrying capacity of 4,697 pounds, which is also quite good. I really like the fact that there are small compartment doors on each side of this trailer to access the front-most cargo tie-down rings. That way, you can cinch up the straps holding your cargo in place or simply just check it as you move along your journey. 

As mentioned earlier, there is no overhead bed in this trailer either. So, height is less of an issue here than it might be in other toy haulers with a bed system. If it’s all about what toys you can haul, this one is about as good as it gets. While there is no lift system for a bed and/or couches, there is the drop-down desk on the side but that’s it.

Different Doors

Some fifth-wheels toy haulers have what is called a “three season” door between the cargo bay and patio deck, which is a glass door, but this model only features a drop-down screen wall. So the patio would be more of a fair-weather gathering spot, which is fine. 

Something truly unusual in the cargo bay of this trailer is a sliding glass door on the camp side, much like a park model trailer would have. Another interesting thing in the cargo bay are metal pieces on the ceiling with blue lighting behind them that illuminate the words “Wolf Pack.” (Just cool!)

 

 

Value

Compared to plenty of other fifth wheels, including toy haulers, the Cherokee Wolf Pack 350PACK15 is relatively affordable with an MSRP under $100,000. Naturally, the value measurement would have to include just how you’re planning to use this trailer. If it’s all about hauling toys, then this model is pretty great. But if you have a family or group that you’d like to travel with, the kitchen is pretty limited as is seating space. (Although there are solutions to this kind of thing. You could easily bring comfortable folding chairs with all the storage space you have and then use those in the cargo bay.)

Still, if I were to buy an RV like this, my first thing would be upgrading the suspension and tires. So, I would consider that in the purchase price. (But it could be that I’m not typical.)You might also factor in the optional “West Coast Power Package” if you’re doing any off-grid camping whatsoever beyond a single night. The price of this RV is pretty affordable, but, depending on how you use it, there might be some upgrades right away that you would want to factor into this equation. 

Off-Grid Considerations

In its most basic form, the Cherokee Wolk Pack 350PACK15 comes with 200 watts of solar, which might compensate for the 12-volt fridge on a perfectly sunny day. The model we saw had the “West Coast Power Package.” This option includes a 30-gallon fuel tank and generator prep. In addition, you can have this model outfitted with a 6,000-watt generator from the factory. For those who like to camp off the grid, as many owners of toy haulers do, these options might be a wise choice. 

There is a very large (96 gallon) freshwater tank. (And, often, with solid power sources the thing that brings campers in from boondocking is more about running out of water than running out of power.)

 

Closing Notes on the Cherokee Wolf Pack 350Pack15

If you were to write the definition of “toy hauler” for the dictionary, you might use the Cherokee Wolk Pack 350PACK15 as an example. In doing so, you’d be doing the dictionary a favor. This RV can absolutely haul toys. But many toy haulers can also sleep a lot of people with beds on lift mechanisms in the cargo hold. This fifth-wheel toy hauler very much prioritizes the hauling of toys — and that will absolutely work for some buyers. 

To be fair, the Cherokee Wolf Pack 350PACK15 has a lot of build aspects that feel more like an entry-level fifth wheel, but that’s not a horrible thing. Moreover, this does come at a price that’s pretty favorable. So, I can see this RV not only working very well for outdoor toy enthusiasts but also for those who like to hold celebrations — or even for some businesses that need a space for trade shows.
