There’s a lot to love about the Wolf Pup 18TO, and we’ll break it all down in our in-depth review today.
Forest River Wolf Pup 18TO Overview
The Wolf Pup 18TO is a lightweight mid-size travel trailer that sleeps up to six while managing to pack great styling and interior finishes into a clean and manageable floor plan, with a single slide out to expand the living space when stationary.
Forest River started offering the Cherokee Wolf Pup 18TO back in 2018 as the most premium floor plan of the Wolf Pup series, and it has been well received since it’s debut.
This travel trailer is a wood body base with aluminum sidewall construction, which is standard for most travel trailers of its size.
Floorplan
The Forest River Wolf Pup 18TO features a thoughtful layout with a slide out that sleeps up to six, with plenty of interior and exterior storage.
Take a look at the floor plan below for more details.
Interior
The Wolf Pup 18TO interior features modern aesthetics and neutral colors, with medium-tone wood-like flooring throughout, and stylish seating with dark-tone wood storage cabinets with attractive hardware.
The dinette area converts to a bed and seats 4 when set up, while the black leatherette couch can seat up to 3 adults and also easily converts to a sleeping area.
There are large windows in the main living area to let in plenty of natural light, and several can lights to keep everything nice and bright.
The main sleeping area features a queen bed with two windows at the head and foot of the bed, and some convenient overhead cabinetry for plenty of storage space.
The bed lifts up for plenty of storage underneath, which can also be accessed from the exterior.
The TV is thoughtfully mounted on the rear wall of the 18TO so it’s out of the way, but can also be viewed from nearly every seat in the house.
Kitchen
The kitchen in the Wolf Pup 18TO is surprisingly well-fitted, with plenty of counter space on the crisp white countertop.
There’s a good-sized sink with overhead faucet and a partial sink cover to get you a little extra counter space when needed.
For the chef in the family, there’s also a 2-burner stove and overhead microwave, with plenty of overhead and below-sink storage for pots, pans, and dry goods.
There’s also a sizable refrigerator-freezer, and a window over the sink so you can keep an eye on everything outside while preparing meals.
Bathroom
The Cherokee Wolf Pup 18TO bathroom is about standard for what you’d expect in a travel trailer of this size, with a toilet and a shower stall with a shallow tub and overhead skylight.
It has plenty of space to get the job done.
Exterior
The Forest River Wolf Pup 18TO has plenty to offer outside as well.
There’s an exterior mini fridge that can be accessed via an outside panel, and a quick-connect LP hookup so you can get an outdoor kitchen going easily.
There’s also a 12 foot awning that provides plenty of shade and comfort for those really sunny days on the campground.
