Forest River has a variety of "brands" that vary in quality and price points. I'd say they are below average as a whole.
The Grey Wolf is on the lower end of their spectrum and is essentially built with old technology - wood framing (if not since upgraded to metal tubing) covered with aluminum skin.
Some will argue that there is nothing wrong with this technology - it's still a strong structure and can be very light weight. That is true. It's also true that there are many more places for water to get inside the walls and rot out the trailer from the inside out.
If you can get a really great deal on one, it may be a good choice. I'd only buy a trailer like this if I could store it inside or under cover when it's not in use.
Good luck!
