Windish RV Center Longmont has reduced the price of a used 2017 Forest River Cherokee Grey Wolf 17BHSE travel trailer by $7,000, bringing the listing to $10,980 from a stated MSRP of $17,980. The move underscores a broader push by the dealership to attract budget-conscious families in Colorado who want dedicated sleeping quarters without moving up to a larger fifth wheel. The featured unit, a 23-foot bunkhouse model with a dry weight of 4,122 pounds and a gross vehicle weight rating of 7,539 pounds, sleeps up to seven and includes a three-burner range, microwave, refrigerator, patio awning, outside storage, and solar preparation. For shoppers comparing Cherokee camping trailers, the listing offers a concrete example of how much trailer can be had at a sub-$11,000 price point.
The significance of the discount extends beyond a single unit. Bunkhouse travel trailers have become a key entry point for families who need separate sleeping areas for children or guests but do not want the towing demands of a larger rig. At 23 feet, the Cherokee Grey Wolf 17BHSE can fit some campground sites with length limits, while its 46-gallon fresh-water tank, 38-gallon gray-water tank, and 28-gallon black-water tank support trips without constant hookups. Windish RV Center, a family-owned dealership founded in 1965 and operating sales locations in Longmont, Lakewood, and Colorado Springs, positions itself as a resource for buyers navigating those trade-offs. Shoppers searching for an RV store in Denver can compare towable inventory between the Longmont and Lakewood locations, while those focused on the northern Front Range may find the Longmont sales site at 10300 E I-25 Frontage Road more convenient.
“Families have different travel plans, tow vehicles, budgets, and space requirements,” said Carolyn Windish Irwin, Owner in Windish RV Center. “Comparing layout, weight, capacity, and intended use helps shoppers choose an RV.” That advice matters because actual towing suitability depends on the tow vehicle and available payload. Passengers, cargo, water, and propane can increase a trailer's travel weight, and buyers should compare hitch ratings before traveling. The dealership's service department supports routine ownership needs, including coach work, bodywork, hitch and wiring work, and accessory installation, which can be relevant for first-time buyers unfamiliar with the maintenance a travel trailer requires.
The broader inventory picture also gives context to the Cherokee listing. Windish RV Center represents manufacturers including Airstream, Forest River, Grand Design, Jayco, nuCamp, and Keystone, and carries travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, and motorized RVs. Its separate Airstream of Colorado location adds another option for buyers considering premium brands. For shoppers comparing RV dealers in CO, inventory range and location can help narrow choices, and a nearby service operation can support routine ownership needs. The company has received the Top 50 RV Business Dealer Award, recognizing dealership operations, customer service, and professionalism.
For families weighing a used bunkhouse against a new unit, the Cherokee Grey Wolf 17BHSE illustrates the value equation: a discounted price, a floor plan that separates sleeping areas from the main living space, and features such as solar prep that can extend camping options. Pricing and availability can change as inventory changes, so buyers should verify current details.
