Forest River Cherokee Wolf Pup 16FQW vs Bigfoot 25B21FB
The difference that matters
At about 21.5 to 21.8 ft, these trailers occupy the same space on the road but are built very differently. The Wolf Pup 16FQW weighs 3,619 lb dry, with a 445 lb hitch and 1,926 lb of cargo capacity. It is a narrow 90 in body with a queen bed, a 10.3 cu ft double-door fridge, an outside mini kitchen and a 12 ft power awning, and it sleeps three.
The Bigfoot 25B21FB is 934 lb heavier at 4,553 lb dry, but its 7,500 lb GVWR leaves far more room for gear, and its 490 lb hitch is close. It is a two-piece molded fiberglass shell with R8 insulation, heated enclosed tanks, a 30,000 BTU furnace and 400 W of solar as standard. Tanks are 34/27/22 gal against 26/28/28.
The Bigfoot also sits 1.7 ft lower, at 8.8 ft.
