Forest River Cherokee 264DBH
Sticker was $47,496 in 2023. Out of production since 2023, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2023 unit.
dry weight 6,760 lb + fresh water (40 gal, full) 334 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 264DBH's published weights changed mid-run.

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.
