The stuff is fine for stationary use, but the vibration and flexing of your van will cause glue joints to crumble and screws to work loose. The cabinets last a few months before they soften. I got this from a British used VW salesman who warned me against one particular companies conversions because of this. He wouldn't sell them. Birch faced ply is nicest, tho' pricey. Use corner braces /gussets etc. and glue/screw every joint. tim s.
