Forest River Cherokee
24 floorplansTravel trailer2014–24Caution build tier
Forest River (Caution tier): Forest River's mid-size family trailer out of the Cherokee plant - a lot of floorplan for the money on a wood frame with corrugated siding, and the water-intrusion complaints that go with it. The nameplate ended after 2024.
What one actually costs today: $12,600–$36,000 across the line, new sticker or used estimate per model.
