    Verdict

    Well built and well equipped, the Cheyenne is a shortish ’van but doesn’t feel like one on the inside.

    Pros

    Outstanding equipment levels; quality of interior fit.

    Cons

    We would have preferred positive locking catches on the lockers.

    Living

    The lounge seats six at a knee-knocking push when the cab seats are swivelled. The removable table stashes in the wardrobe, where it is held secure in transit by dedicated clips, and when in use it stands 72cm high with a surface area of 95 x 58cm. This makes for plenty of legroom from both the cab seats – when the seat squabs are adjusted to full height – and from the side sofas. There’s a second, circular table (55cm diameter) which fixes onto an L-shaped leg, but the bracket for this had not been fitted to our test model.

    A nice touch is the curtains on domestic-style poles, which feel homely without the usual fuss of tie-backs. Four directional spotlights do the job of an evening, or there’s a dimmer switch for ‘mood lighting’ above the overhead lockers.

    Kitchen

    This is an excellent example of the kind of fully-equipped kitchen that is so popular with British buyers. Auto-Trail provides a full-sized grill, oven and three gas hobs plus an electric hotplate. There is a chopping board/drainer which fits flush in its sink and matches the rest of the worksurface.

    A fridge freezer, with a wood-veneered panel door, sits beneath the sink, and a tambour door acts as a serving hatch from the kitchen through to the bedroom. There’s a wire crockery rack in the locker above the oven/hob, and a second tambour-doored locker (with a plug socket above the sink) just the right size for a microwave.

    Washroom

    The rear corner washroom has a folding partition shower door and a rail for hanging wet clothes, with a rooflight over the toilet (although a strip light in the shower itself does the job of lighting the area). There is also a small washroom window above the toilet, which has a pleated blind rather than frosted-style glass.

    Beds

    The Cheyenne’s corner bed, separated from the rest of the motorhome by a concertina blind, has a three-piece mattress and a small cutaway. To get to the storage space beneath, you have to lift the aluminium-framed, slatted base – but there are no hydraulic struts to help you. A single-leg stay supports the bed base while you root around underneath, and it opens wide enough to enable you to step into the storage area beneath to lift out any heavier items.

    In the overcab, a slatted base slides out to make a double bed. A metallic safety bar clips to the base to secure the bed and a fabric net acts as a safety barrier for younger children. Its maximum headroom, at 66cm, is higher than most, and with windows at either side and spotlights at one end it doesn’t feel at all claustrophobic.

    You can make up an extra single bed measuring 208 x 84cm by pulling the slatted seat bases forward to meet in the centre of the vehicle.

    Storage

    The under-bed storage area is the premium storage space in a corner-bed layout, but you don’t want to be carrying everything through the body of the ’van to get to it, so the Cheyenne has external storage-tray access through its sills.

    It also comes with a full complement of overhead lockers, a tall wardrobe with 115cm hanging height and 59cm width. Three shelves and three drawers separate the wardrobe and the washroom. Up front, the side sofa seats have a locker flap at the base for access to the storage area below.
