Arctic Wolf 3950SUITE

Five slides, the most of any Arctic Wolf, around theater seating in the front cap and a king bedroom with its own bath across the rear. It still weighs 595 lb less than the 38LEAH.G.

3950SUITE by rank: third of four, with two exceptions

The 3950SUITE is 3 of 4 on length, dry weight, GVWR, and hitch weight. The rows that break that pattern are the ones worth reading.

Theater seating forward, king suite aft: the 3950SUITE drawing

Forest River draws the living room in the front cap: theater seating across the front wall under a pano-vision front window, cabinets on either side, and two tri-fold sofas facing each other in opposing slides. A televator TV cabinet and a hutch stand at the step down to the kitchen. The kitchen island holds the sink, an off-door slide carries a 30" microwave and two 10 cu. ft. refrigerators, and a door-side slide holds a free-standing table and chairs beside a storage ottoman seat. A half bath sits at the step up to the rear.

The rear is the suite the name points to. A 72 x 80 king bed rides in its own slide, facing a fireplace and dresser between two wardrobes, with a closet by the door. The full bath spans the rear wall with the shower, a porcelain toilet, and washer/dryer prep.

The cost of five slides shows up when they are closed. Both sofas, the table, the refrigerators, and the king bed all ride in slides, so the travel-mode trailer is the narrowest version of this floor, and whether the bed, the refrigerators, and the half bath can be reached with everything in is a question the drawing cannot settle. In exchange the figures are strong for the size: 2,272 lb of cargo capacity, 341 lb more than the 331BH on a trailer 4 ft 6 in longer.

Rear-living, loft, and one-slide alternatives to the 3950SUITE

Picked by where each plan puts its living room and beds. Differences are arithmetic from the published figures.

Nearly the same size, living room at the other endArctic Wolf 38LEAH.G

0 ft 9 in longer, 595 lb heavier, and 120 lb more at the pin, with 500 lb more cargo capacity and two fewer slides. It turns the plan around: sectional sofa at the rear, king bedroom and bath at the front, and a kitchen island with a dishwasher.

Open record →If the second toilet has to serve a loftArctic Wolf 331BH

4 ft 6 in shorter and 2,054 lb lighter, on two slides. It keeps two toilets, the rear one beside a 60 x 80 loft bed and a 54 x 74 bed, and fits a 40-foot site with 1 ft 9 in to spare. Cargo capacity drops 341 lb to 1,931 lb.

Open record →The one-slide end of the lineupArctic Wolf 285OPT

8 ft 6 in shorter, 3,390 lb lighter, and 670 lb lighter at the pin, with a single slide and a rear bunk room. Cargo capacity is 265 lb lower, and the black tank is 35 gal against 70.

3950SUITE walkthrough, front cap to rear bath

  1. Sit in the theater seating and raise the televator TV. Check that the raised set clears the view from every seat and does not block the step down to the kitchen.
  2. Bring all five slides in and walk from the entry to the half bath, then up the step to the king bed. Note which refrigerator doors still open and whether the bed can be used with its slide closed.
  3. Open the washer/dryer prep space in the rear bath and measure it before choosing machines; it shares that wall with the shower.
  4. Measure the height of the actual unit, air conditioners included. The published 162 in equals 13 ft 6 in, so compare the measurement against every clearance on the route.

3950SUITE: 2026 Cherokee Arctic Wolf sources

The figures come from Forest River's 2026 page for the 3950SUITE, sold as the Cherokee Arctic Wolf, last checked by this site on 2026-08-21. The layout is read from Forest River's 2026 drawing for the plan on 2026-09-26. Forest River marks the dry weight (UVW) and the cargo carrying capacity as estimated averages for a standard build. With five slides and a washer/dryer prep space, optional equipment can move both figures, so the label on the specific trailer governs.
