If you’re in the market for a new travel trailer, the Wolf Pup camper is a brand showing up more and more at campgrounds. They’re not massive, but they pack quite a punch when it comes to cramming amenities into a smaller space. They’re incredibly light and are towable with many mid- or full-size trucks.
Let’s see if you should consider a Wolf Pup for your next camper.
What Is a Wolf Pup Camper?
Wolf Pup campers are fully self-contained travel trailers that are also easy to tow because of their light weight. There are nine floorplans including toy hauler and bunkhouse models. They’re relatively compact campers with generous storage space, perfect for small families or those who enjoy quick weekend adventures.
Who Makes Wolf Pup Campers?
Wolf Pup campers are a product of Cherokee. Cherokee is a subsidiary under the Forest River brand of campers. Like many other RV manufacturers, they produce these campers in the RV capital of the world, Elkhart, Indiana.
What Are the Pros and Cons of a Wolf Pup Camper?
Pros: Wolf Pup campers have many benefits. They’re small but loaded with features and functions that make it easy to enjoy yourself and be comfortable no matter where you’re RVing.
With varied floor plans, abundant storage space, and a compact design, the possibilities are practically endless regarding where and how you use your camper.
Cons: Only a third of the available floor plans in these campers have slides. This can leave you feeling a bit claustrophobic, especially when the weather forces you inside for the day.
Additionally, the tank sizes in these rigs range from 23 gallons to 28 gallons. Depending on the length of your trip and access to water, you may need to have a water plan.
How Much Do Wolf Pup Campers Cost?
New Wolf Pup campers range from $21,000 to $45,000. The price depends greatly on the year, model, and features the camper was built with. It also should come as no surprise that purchasing an RV in some regions is much more expensive. Depending on where you are, you could pay more or less for your Wolf Pup camper.

We have a fq16bl wolf pup. The leaf springs are weak. I recommend that you order heavier duty springs. Secondly the electric refrigerator should be upgraded to a combined gas electric fridge. The standard tires are lame. Upgrade to goodyear endurance tires. The bed. When folded flat it isn't very comfortable. We added a hinged platform to make the bed lay flatter thus more comfortable

I bought the 2022 16BHS black label adventure package in October and it’s been a love hate relationship mostly because the manufacturers put a tiny 50 watt solar panel and 1 AGM battery for a huge 12v only fridge that uses 160 watts. The battery died within a month and my second battery is dying too. Sadly I’m in Mexico for the winter and the prices of solar and lithium batteries here is double that in the US so I’ve got to wait another month to get back to Quartzite for an upgrade. Other than that it’s been great, especially beach camping and boondocking (with a 3500w generator).
