converting a Sprinter with Ikea "stuff"
I did a bit of searching and did not see this topic. I have thought about converting a sprinter van using Ikea cabinets etc. I'm semi handy and thought that this might help things along. Has anyone do...

Ikea uses mostly chip board or MDF, which require specific mechanical fasteners due to the poor screw holding of those substrates. Chip board (or particle board) and MDF are known to be heavy and absorb moisture. This is not ideal in a vehicle. Don't let these details deter you, though. You could make it work (many RV manufacturers use chip board and MDF). You would just have to double up on the fasteners and also glue the heck out of them. I would also ensure the seems are sealed.
But personally, I chose higher quality sprinter bed frame and cabinets (it was a bit expensive).
Other people in this forum have been suing 80/20 system, but you need some skills and tools to work with those.
