For some toy hauler buyers, compromise simply isn’t an option. Not for cargo capacity and not for comfort. And if you fall into that class of buyer, you are going to love what you see in the 2025 East to West RV Takoda 399TH. Because this fifth-wheel toy hauler is going to be tough to beat.

Attention to detail is a strong suit of the Takoda 399TH. You see it in the features, the build quality, and the cold and hot weather protection. Often, many RVers buy a next rig and then upgrade things to their liking. But the design of the Takoda 399TH thinks so far ahead that it’s tough to find an aspect of this RV that needs an upgrade.

So, let’s talk about some of those details.

 

At a Glance: Takoda 399TH

I rated the Takoda 399TH 8.7 out of 10 — a very high score. This ambitious toy hauler combines a flexible use case with a very pleasant interior, off-grid and cold camping capabilities, and an impressive build quality. As already mentioned, the attention to detail distinguishes this model as a high-end option in the field of large toy haulers.

Benefits

Garage Stuff

• Massive and masterful garage. As you’d expect, the 14-foot garage on this trailer plus cargo carrying capacity make it well suited for those who want to carry larger toys. For this, the Takoda 399TH is top notch. With the click-track system in the floor, loading and securing that load is a strong suit of this RV. Further, the locking tool box in the floor of the garage adds the ability to stow straps and tools to make the job of securing the load easier.
• Pet- and kid-friendly patio deck. The ramp door on this trailer features a surround that forms a fence of sorts plus a provision to set the door horizontally. So, you can use the ramp door as a patio deck. There is also a glass patio door with bug screens called a three-season door so you can go in and out. This makes a great place for entertaining, particularly if you’re camped somewhere with a great view. These are also good to contain pets or smaller children which allows them to go in and out but still staying within the confines of the camper.
• Onboard features for toys. The onboard fueling station with two 30 gallon tanks would enable someone to fill gasoline-powered vehicles like motorcycles, ATVs and the like so they could be transported with little or no fuel aboard and simply gassed-up at the destination. Also, having an onboard compressor can enable inflating things like water toys, mattresses, tires and more. This is a great feature in any RV but especially useful in a toy hauler where you may want to inflate/deflate tires on off-road vehicles based on conditions.

Beyond the Garage

• Fifth-wheel luxury. The interior of the Takoda 399TH has a very premium feel and features throughout — not typical of toy haulers. The kitchen itself is exceptional.
• Off-grid camping. The solar power system on this rig is massive and impressive. But just as impressive is the large water tank. Realistically, lack of water brings just as many boondockers home as lack of power. The Takoda 399TH stacks the deck in both areas.
• Safe and smart features. With three cameras on this RV, one for each side plus one in the back, it makes moving an RV of this size an easier and safer operation. Additionally, the smart level system enables automatic leveling but will also remember the height of the pin/nose of this trailer when it comes time to hitch it back up to the tow vehicle.

 

Challenges

• Towing — and parking — this giant RV. The single biggest benefit of this RV, its large size, is also its greatest challenge. The Takoda 399TH is 47 feet long. There are absolutely places where this simply won’t be able to fit. Further, at a gross weight of 21,000 pounds it will take a significant tow vehicle to move this around.
• Recommend upgrading to disc brakes. While I was happy to see MORryde CRE 3000 suspension dampeners and quality Cooper tires, nevertheless I would recommend upgrading to a disc brake system for safety with an RV this large.

 

 

Best For

• Toy hauler shoppers looking for a larger and more versatile cargo space. An RV with this flexible an open space is also a great choice for those who work on the road or have hobbies that might be made more enjoyable in a larger, open space.
• RV owners who want to play hard outside and enjoy luxury living inside. Especially with a large crowd. There is the main sleeping space … plus a fold-out couch in the main living space … plus the beds in the cargo bay, this could be a great choice for those who are in competitive sports to bring the entire team and the vehicle(s) used to participate in those sports.
• Campers who love to cook. I’ll talk about this more, but I’m not sure I’ve seen a better RV kitchen.
• Off grid and all-weather campers. The Takoda 399TH is fitted with a robust suite of off-grid sustainability features and cold-weather capabilities that mean it’s up to the all-weather challenge.

 

Key Areas We Evaluate for RV Buyers

Sleeping Space: 9/10

There are really three separate zones for sleeping in the Takoda 399TH. Up front, over the pin box, is a large bedroom with a king-size bed in a slide. In the bedroom, there is a closet that spans about two-thirds of the width of the trailer. This closet also has a hanging rod that is a motion-activated light. It’s really convenient. Further, there is a second closet that occupies the other one-third of the space. This space could provide additional hanging storage, but it is also fitted with washer-dryer hook-ups.

There is also a four-drawer cabinet in the bedroom of the Takoda 399TH. All the drawers in it incorporate soft-close mechanisms and are very nicely finished inside. The top of this cabinet also slides open to reveal a shallow hidden storage well. The sliding mechanism also means that any items placed on the cabinet don’t have to be moved to open the cabinet.

 

 

Sleep Zones Outside the Bedroom

The second zone would be the main living space which has a large L-shaped sofa that has a fold-out bed for two. Lastly, the third sleep zone is in the cargo area. There is a bed-lift mechanism (HappiJac) with a second larger bed and opposing couches that can be yet another bed. While these two sleeping spaces have thinner cushioning owing to the fact that they can be lifted up against the ceiling, they still would work for adults or children. Alos, there is yet another bed in a loft in the sleeping area that might be best for younger travelers but could accommodate an adult in a pinch.

All these spots combine to accommodate nine people.

 

 

Bathroom: 9/10

Every aspect of the Takoda 399TH has a very premium feel. That includes the bathroom, which is on the upper deck of this fifth-wheel toy hauler. In here, there is plenty of space to accomplish the tasks one would want to accomplish but also enough room to change clothing. There is also a good amount of linen storage in closets with adjustable shelves.

The shower is a larger walk-in type typical of a fifth wheel with an elaborate spa-style showerhead and seat molded into the fiberglass enclosure.

 

 

Living Area: 9/10

Toy haulers often get criticized for being spartan-feeling. The Takoda 399TH is anything but. The finish and materials in this RV provide a very premium feel — including the large, L-shaped sofa which faces an absolutely enormous TV. (There’s also a large fireplace.)

The Takoda 399TH also includes a table and chairs. The table itself is wall-mounted. (This helps you to avoid knocking your knees.) It also incorporates a drawer for silverware built right in the table. The premium feel of this space extends to the window treatment, which encloses both roller night shades and day shades that screen-out much of the sunlight.

 

 

Kitchen: 9/10

The kitchen in the Takoda 399TH is nicer than the one in my house. It contains a lot of cabinetry and drawers, including a drawer with a provision for a trash can. The cabinets and drawers all have soft-close mechanisms. This adds to the upscale feel, as do the very nicely finished interiors.

The stove and microwave are GE Profile brand, which are comparable to those in most houses in space and functionality. For cold food storage, there is a large French-door, 12-volt refrigerator with two freezer drawers. Again, it’s as nice — or nicer — than what you’ll find in a lot of houses.

In terms of regular storage, there is a pantry that has two additional drawers and plenty of space. If you find the rest of the kitchen’s drawers and cabinets are sufficient, this could also be used for clothing storage for all those people this RV can accommodate.

For RVers who love to cook, I don’t think there’s a better RV kitchen out there. Plus, there is a very large amount of countertop space to boot. (Which would be great for serving a buffet to your race team, assuming that’s what you’re using this trailer for.)

 

 

Four-Season Capabilities: 10/10

With all the other traits of this RV, its ability to weather seasons is another highlight. There are two-inch thick laminated walls, an enclosed underbelly (that’s also heated), plus 12-volt heating pads on all the holding tanks. Even the cargo compartment at the front has a furnace duct. So that space is heated as well.

Once winter is over and summer begins, there are three air conditioners on this RV to keep things cool. Sure, those require a lot of power, but that brings me to my next thing.

For those who want to spend time off-grid, this is an excellent choice. The unit includes a built-in 6,000-watt generator but also includes two substantial 200-amp-hour lithium batteries. There was 860 watts of solar on the roof and a 2,000-watt inverter. This is the best of all worlds. You get a significant solar system that can supply two large batteries with plenty of power and may be sufficient for a lot of off-grid camping. Then you have an onboard generator and two 30-gallon fuel tanks. There is no situation where you won’t have enough power to sustain this beast even when the closest hook-ups are in the next city.

There are a lot of RVers, myself included, who have spent a lot of money on solar and lithium systems to achieve this kind of off-grid living. It comes standard with the Takoda 399TH and  then adds a huge generator on top of that.

 

 

Storage Space: 9/10

Of course, the most obvious storage spot in the Takoda 399TH is the very large garage. (This is, after all, a toy hauler.) But there is also a rather sizable storage bay in the front of this RV, common in most fifth wheels. That space is also heated and has motion sensing lighting in it. That, coupled with the space found in the bedroom and living area is rather robust indeed.

 

 

Chassis/Suspension: 7/10

I like that East to West RV includes the MORryde CRE 3000 suspension dampeners as part of the build. These help minimize vibration being transmitted into the cabin as the RV rolls down the road. This protects the RV itself and makes towing a nicer experience. This system also incorporates what are called wet bolts which can be greased which extends their lives.

This is the first time I’ve seen Cooper tires on a towable RV, and I’m familiar with the brand as being a quality product. These tires are also made in the USA, which earns points with me.

Speaking a little more to the rating I gave the chassis (a score of 7), you can choose to upgrade the system to a disc brake system. And I couldn’t be more enthusiastic about doing so. On a rig this large, that option is a safety upgrade that I feel is well worth making and that would elevate the rating to a 9 in my opinion.

 

 

Build Quality: 8/10

There are a number of new RV components coming on the market for builders of RVs and one of those are new square windows. These are of the frameless variety, which means they require lower maintenance. Inside, these windows are both day rollers shades and light-blocking roller shades.

At times, RV companies include nicer features in their rigs, but those RVs do not always show great consistency in build quality. However, the Takoda 399TH has no such dilemma. Evidence is everywhere from very nicely finished drawers to little build features that demonstrate a meticulous a attention to detail. It’s clear that East to West RV did a good job with the build quality. Another example of build quality is the dovetail drawer construction, which is very uncommon in RVs. (It’s the best way to make drawers, in my opinion.)

 

 

Garage: 9/10

One of the most obvious reasons to buy a toy hauler is the garage. The Takoda 399TH is a full 14 feet in length. But, more than that, there are three tracks in the floor that allow you to tie-down the things in the back of the trailer. These tracks use an industry-standard track system. There is also a locking toolbox in the “beaver tail” portion of the garage — where it slopes down to meet the ramp. This is a pretty sizable storage bay and can be locked. Great for putting things like tow straps and tools out of the way.

Funny thing: There are hook-ups for laundry in the upper bedroom in a closet, but then there are additional hook-ups here in the garage of this rig. In theory, you could have two washers and two dryers. (Although I doubt anyone would unless they’re using laundry service as a way to make a few extra bucks on the road.)

Rearranging the Space

There is a power lift mechanism, called a HappiJac system, that lifts the upper berth to the ceiling when it’s time to load-up. There are also opposing couches that also ride this chain-driven mechanism to go against the berth when it’s lifted. Now, we each have what serves us well, but admittedly, I just get impatient watching these things slowly move their way up toward the ceiling. Again, a very common system and one that allows the couches to also be a bed and allows six individuals to sit facing one another which makes game nights or meals more pleasant.

 

 

Value: 8/10

Once an RV gets to this lofty price range value can really be something to scrutinize. Some RVs are just fancy, but the Takoda 399TH provides a lot for the money.

For example, there are two gasoline tanks rather than the usual one. And there are a lot of other examples of notable attention to detail, including outside motion sensor lighting in places like above the fueling station. (A nice touch.)

I also liked that there was the screen protector for those who have pets, and there was also an additional little handle on the screen. It’s not like these small details add too much financial value, but they demonstrate how the decisions were made on this RV. Where possible, it seemed that East to West RV prioritized a feature that added convenience or quality to the rig.

Another detail that will play-out over time is the inclusion of the power cord reel, which is nice with a hefty 50-amp cord. I also liked the motion-sensing light in the upper closet as well. Again, little things but lots of examples of attention to detail. A few of the other included niceties were the built-in air compressor. (And let’s not forget the solar and lithium system and generator.)

Sometimes, certain RVs that I look at have a few nice features, but as a whole, that RV may not be well thought through. In this case, the detail under the skin translated into a well-designed high-quality RV.

 

Closing Notes on the Takoda 399TH

There was so much to like about the Takoda 399TH — the fit and finish, the features, and just a lot of examples of … you guessed it … attention to detail. While some toy haulers have an industrial feel, this one leaves that more practical function to the garage, closing it off as a separate space.

The main living areas of the Takoda 399TH are as upscale as in any fifth wheel. But there were other things to like. The power cord reel makes handling the fat, 50-amp power cord easier. Then there’s the built-in retractable water hoses, the motion-sensing lighting on the outside and in various interior compartments, the full camera suite including side-view cameras, and more. Further, this RV is well-suited for upscale RV parks. It also equally capable of boondocking far away from others with top-notch off-grid functionality.

Also, lots of campers who are pet owners upgrade the screen door on their RVs with a mesh protector on the lower portion. No need here.  That and a screen assist handle are also included.

The obvious challenge of an RV of this size is simply the size alone. At 47 feet in length and with a 21,000 pound gross weight, the Takoda 399TH is massive. But for those who need something this large — and also want to live large — this rig is right in their wheelhouse.

 

A Note on the RV Trader Review Process

RV Trader asked RV shoppers what was most important to them in their RV buying process. Potential buyers — like you — helped us to identify a list of six key areas that camping and travel enthusiasts always look at when they’re searching for the perfect RV: sleeping space, bathroom, living area, four-season capabilities, and storage space.

The RV Trader team then got to work providing you with honest and unbiased evaluations. If you’re wondering, that’s where I came in. As an RV expert and enthusiast, I provide an honest look at RVs from an RV industry insider perspective.

 

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

• Huge garage that’s 15 feet long and over 8 feet wide
• 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. 

 

A Note on the RV Trader Review Process

RV Trader asked RV shoppers what was most important to them in their RV buying process. Potential buyers — like you — helped us to identify a list of six key areas that camping and travel enthusiasts always look at when they’re searching for the perfect RV: sleeping space, bathroom, living area, four-season capabilities, and storage space.

The RV Trader team then got to work providing you with honest and unbiased evaluations. If you’re wondering, that’s where I came in. As an RV expert and enthusiast, I provide an honest look at RVs from an RV industry insider perspective.

A toy hauler with a unique take on cargo versus living space, the 2025 Forest River Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11 utilizes an unusual method that gives owners the ability to optimize either configuration. Apparently with a boondocking, outdoorsy, all-weather buyer in mind, this model also offers exceptional off-grid camping cold-weather camping capabilities.

 

At a Glance: Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11

Overall, I rated the Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11 a 8.0 out of 10, but this number alone doesn’t tell the whole story. This toy hauler showcases some really impressive features — even beyond the garage, which you would expect. It’s ability to survive colder camping, the built-in tire pressure monitor and high-quality tires, and an interior that could transform into a great entertainment space all come to mind.

However, there are also aspects of the the Vengeance Rogue Armored that felt closer to entry-level in terms of build quality. Let’s talk more about it all.

Benefits

On the Inside

• Toy hauling. At its most basic function as a toy hauler, the Vengeance Rogue Armored one features a large garage space and good cargo carrying capacity that can accommodate even some of the larger side-by-sides or other vehicles. 
• Versatile space configuration. There is a really unusual and innovative slide room within the main living space of this RV that can optimize either the living space or the cargo space — a truly unique feature. 
• Easy bedmaking. The bed lift mechanism in the cargo area uses simple struts to enable raising or lowering of the upper bed. This simple mechanism is fast and requires no power – I like this better than the slow-moving power lift mechanisms just for the sake of simplicity. 
• Plenty of entertainment space. The cargo compartment has a second smaller bar-sized fridge, a counter space plus some cabinet space. So you could use this as a place to entertain friends along with the patio deck that comes from laying the ramp door flat. 

On the Outside

• All-weather capabilities. For those who camp in the cold, this fifth-wheel toy hauler offers holding tanks in a heated underbelly, plus 12-volt heating pads on the tanks. 
• Safe and scenic patio. The ramp door on this trailer features a surround that forms a fence of sorts plus a provision to set the door horizontally so you can use the ramp door as a patio deck. There is also a glass patio door with bug screens called a three-season door so you can go in and out. This makes a great place for entertaining, particularly if you’re camped somewhere with a great view. These are also good to contain pets or smaller children which allows them to go in and out but still staying within the confines of the camper. 

 

Challenges

• Complex features. The unusual inside slide that optimizes cargo or living space is certainly unusual and additional complexity that may put some prospective owners off. 
• Cable-slide mechanisms. All five slide rooms on this RV use cable-slide mechanisms, which some buyers voice apprehensions about. They are fine, and my experience with them has been positive. But they do require occasional attention.
• Build quality inconsistencies. Some of the items in this trailer have a very entry-level feel to them which flies in the face of the MSRP of this rig. 

 

 

Best For

• While the obvious use of any toy hauler is to haul toys, the large, open space and drop-down patio make an RV like this ideal for those camping in beautiful places with a patio deck to observe them. 
• An RV with this flexible an open space is also a great choice for those who work on the road or have hobbies that might be made more enjoyable in a larger, open space. 
• For travelers with families the cargo bay can also serve as a second place for members of the family to spend time without being with the whole group. It also could be a great place for entertaining with the patio deck and bar-sized fridge. 

 

Key Areas We Evaluate for RV Buyers

Sleeping Space

Being a typical fifth-wheel toy hauler, there is a bedroom upstairs over the pin box. This one features a king-size bed in a road-side slide room. Interestingly, that bed has a drop-down, armrest-like padded bolster on either side of the bed with a cup holder. I’m not sure that this is something you’d want to leave down all night, but you could. (Especially if you want a secure drink close by.)For those campers who require a medical device (like a CPAP) to sleep at night, there is a small shelf on which to put that. There’s also a household power outlet overhead. 

But the most unusual feature in this upstairs bedroom is a projector that projects onto a drop-down screen that doubles as the window shade on the camp side. This certainly has the potential to be a polarizing feature, but personally, I really like it.  

Downstairs, there is a couch that can extend to become a bed. In the cargo bay of the Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11, there is an overhead bed that is held up by struts. Pulling the bed down is really easy and quick. It’s also easy to return to the stored position. I think this is much easier than a power lift mechanism, if only because it’s so quick. 

 

 

Bathroom

The bathroom, on the upper deck, features a large walk-in shower with an elaborate spa-style shower head. There is a porcelain foot flush toilet and a bit of space on the cabinet that the small round-bowl sink resides in. This is along the lines of what you would expect in a fifth-wheel toy hauler — which means nice, but not a big surprise.

 

 

Living Area

Inside the Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11, I discovered one of the most unusual features I’ve ever seen in any RV — a slide inside the toy hauler itself. That slide is located on the back wall of the main living space which divides the living space from the cargo bay. It’s entirely inside the RV. In other words, the slide is not on an exterior wall, but an interior wall. 

By extending that slide, you add more space to the main living area of the Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11. In doing so, you remove the same amount of space from the cargo hold. Reversing it does just the opposite. The idea is to have a large cargo hold during transit and then use this to optimize the main living space once the garage has cleared out a bit. 

There’s a flip-up table in this slide, which is the principal dining provision in this camper. It also comes with two bar-height stools that have short backs on them. 

Beyond that Innovative Slide: Recliners, Zebra Blinds, and More

There’s also a three-place couch in the main living space that features recliner function for the outside two seating positions. (Another bonus to the recliners? Heated seating surfaces.) There are also cup holders that feature USB power outlets. 

The window shades in the Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11 are what are referred to as zebra shades with alternating dark and light sections. The nice thing about these is that you can vary the amount of light you let in by drawing the shades so that the lighter sections are more or less blocked by the darker stripes. 

Across from the couch is a larger TV and a fireplace. 

 

 

Kitchen

For those who enjoy being the road chef, the kitchen in the Vengeance Rogue 341GS11 will be a good place to practice that craft. The camp-side wall features a three-burner stove with larger oven and a good-size microwave. The 12-volt fridge features a French door design with two freezer drawers. 

There’s also a multi-function sink incorporates provisions for draining and washing veggies, a glass rinser, and a pull-out faucet/sprayer. The peninsula in which the sink is located also affords decent counter space, as does the bulkhead counter. Drawer space is plentiful all around. 

For more storage, the wall on which the TV and fireplace are located is also a door which, when opened, reveals a substantial pantry. There is also a second mini bar-sized fridge in the cargo bay of this toy hauler. (That fridge is found on the back side of the slide room I mentioned.)

 

 

Four-Season Capabilities

Winter camping is a definite strong suit for this trailer. There is an enclosed underbelly that’s also heated. Plus, there are 12-volt heating pads on all the holding tanks. Even the cargo compartment has a furnace duct so that space is heated.  This RV comes with two air conditioners with the ability to add a third unit. 

In addition, the Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11 is clearly meant for off-grid camping or boondocking. While these are options, the model we saw featured 300 watts of solar and a 2,000-watt inverter which will run most of the household appliances and systems in the RV. But, for those times that you need even more power, this model is fit with a 6,000-watt generator. 

I suspect that many of the people who choose this RV are going to want this type of capability. And it’s exceptional that this caliber of functionality is available as a factory-installed option. I also like the 158 gallons of freshwater capacity. Many’s the time I’ll be camping off the grid, and its lack of water that brings me in off the road, not lack of power. 

 

 

Storage Space

Of course, the most obvious storage spot in this fifth-wheel toy hauler is the very large garage. Even so, there is also a rather sizable storage bay in the front of this RV, common in most fifth wheels. That space is also heated and has motion sensing lighting in it. 

 

 

Chassis/Suspension

I like that the Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11 comes with a number of better components, including the MORryde CRE3000 suspension upgrade. This is a package of pieces that allows for greater dampening of vibration and harshness coming through to the RV which, arguably, would help it last longer. 

The upgrade also includes what are called wet bolts which simply means that they can be greased which promotes longer life of the components – also a plus. Although that means you actually have to grease them. 

 

Build Quality

Quick lead-in here about slides. When I worked as a warranty manager at an RV dealership, we sold a lot of RVs with cable-operated slides. During that time, I don’t recall having issues with them. However, it should be said that there is a lot of “buzz” on the internet from people who do not like cable slide mechanisms. So, if you’re one of those people, you should probably know that all four of the slide rooms in this toy hauler are cable slides. 

The walls in RVs like this are made up of various layers including an outer layer of fiberglass and an inside wall board. Between those layers are welded aluminum studs with block foam inserts. It has traditionally been a wood product used just inside the walls called lauan but this material can get damaged if even the smallest amount of water leaks in. However, the Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11 uses a product called Azdel. This man-made product is unaffected by water. Further, Azdel offers better sound insulation properties.

On the exterior, a buyer should note one area where there were clear corners looked cut: the baggage doors. These are rather thin and use low-grade camlock closures.

 

Garage

As mentioned, the in-RV slide system found in the Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11 is beyond interesting — it’s innovative.  When the slide is retracted into the main living space for travel, that means 11 feet of garage space is available. 

The example I saw had a carpet that could be rolled up. When unrolled, this really made the cargo hold of the trailer feel very inviting. So, even if you don’t use this model for hauling toys, it has enormous potential as a great office … or playroom … or place to practice hobbies. (Particularly if those hobbies require more space.)

Reinforcing the potential for this space as an office, there is an entry door into the cargo area as well. So, this space could be completely emotionally detached from the main living area. Add that bar-sized fridge that’s on this side of the slide room and voila! Now you could entertain clients or friends in here. 

A Better Kind of Bed Assist

Most toy haulers have what is called a HappiJac system, which hangs couches and a bed on chains and uses a power lift mechanism to raise and lower them. But this toy hauler has something different. The four struts on the corner of the bed assist in lifting and lowering that bed. Lowering the bed means simply reaching up and pulling it down. I love this because it’s so quick and easy. Also, no power required except the power of you pulling it down. Returning it to stowed position is also a simple task. You just push up on the front and back and you’re done. 

There are also two recliners that come with this unit which aren’t attached to the walls. So, you could take them onto the patio deck or into the cargo hold or outside. Having just the bed means no couches in the cargo hold of this trailer. Therefore, I would suggest bringing along your favorite camp chairs for additional seating to the recliners. Then you can choose what you want to put where — the cargo hold, on the patio deck, or outside. 

 

 

Value

There are a number of features in the Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11 that might typically be optional or even aftermarket items in other rigs that are included in this one. However, there are also some corners cut that are unfortunate. (Things like the thin baggage doors with camlocks.) Also, even though all RVs require inspection and maintenance of the seals this doesn’t come with a ladder. Instead, the model offers just a ladder mount with the expectation that you buy your own ladder. 

 

Closing Notes on the Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11

Something I saw noted in a video on the company’s website is the inclusion of magnetic graphics that one can place on their tow vehicle to match the swoops and swirls of the graphics on the trailer. I’m not sure who asked for this, but you get this just the same. 

Also, while some aspects of this trailer have a nicer feel others tell more of a story of entry-level features. 

That indoor slide also has an electronic safety feature where the table has to be folded in order for the slide to work, so that the table doesn’t come into contact with the camp-side slide that holds the couch. But this is such an unusual feature, I would want to know where this is in the event that it stops functioning. 

The windows in this are something I’ve seen other offerings from the brand use. They feature a somewhat mirrored finish which effectively reduces heat and UV rays inside the trailer. However, it can also cause consternation from other campers due to the limited but still discernible reflectivity. 

 

Great Off-Grid — but Also Inside

There is a 6000-watt generator built into this trailer that can draw from the 30-gallon onboard gas tank. That tank also has a gas pump handle, so you could fuel-up the toys this is meant to haul. (It also means that you don’t have to haul them with much fuel in them.) Combine that generator with the large freshwater holding tank, and you have a fifth-wheel toy hauler that could be a serious boondocking machine. 

Overall, the Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11 is certainly a solid RV. With a good number of very usable features, it particularly might serve some families very well with its separation of the main living space and the cargo area sleeping/living space. This would also be a good RV for those who love to entertain, particularly with that bar-size fridge and counter in the cargo area that also provides access to the patio deck.
