Not the best photo of my rig and also not a sprinter BUT this is the third van I have built out at this point. Extended econoline - I echo a lot of same comments these guys have. I went more a practical not super trick build on my van. I’m frugal and hard on my vehicles. 
 

Build out a “sleeping”area and a separate “garage” area - maybe it’s just me but motocross is messy between myself and the beagle it doesn’t take long to get the van pretty well destroyed. 
 

Use every single square inch - I bolted a tool box in my rig that holds spare parts, tools (for the van and bike), chemical rack (built it with spare wood laying around the shop), flip up table for helmet/gloves/goggles between motos.

Amazon hooks to hang up stuff - I hang up all my gear - never been a gear bag guy. 
 

In the sleeper area I’m a few inches shy of a full sized bed (photo shows the bed without the full section)  - I have a large drawer that doubles as a counter top with camp stove, coffee pot and food. 
 

Have fun building! Do a couple versions and keep tweaking - in my experience the build is never complete.
