Forest River Cherokee Alpha Wolf 30RDB-L
Sticker was $48,620 in 2024. Out of production since 2024, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2024 unit.
dry weight 6,918 lb + fresh water (81 gal, full) 676 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.
Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the 30RDB-L's published weights changed mid-run.
