I'm well aware that very few, if any vans could accommodate any type of motorcycle. I'm wondering this as I think it would be neat to have as a secondary mode of transportation.
I'm currently considering purchasing a Sprinter van to do a basic camper conversion, and one of my main questions is how to fit my SV650s inside. The plan is to keep things fairly simple - a bed platform, some storage, and maybe a small kitchen setup - but I’m wondering how people arrange the layout so the bike can be secured safely without sacrificing too much living space. I’ve been looking at different sprinter campervan cabinets setups and would love to see examples of how others have integrated bike storage alongside them.

Nope, I don't, but then I don't have a van, and the only way my bike would fit in my car is if I took it to bits!
Welcome to the org by the way.

There are plenty of vans that can fit a bike in the back. It's how most (amateur) race bikes are transported and how a dealer would pick up/deliver a bike. Thing is, a lot of scrotes break into vans looking for tools to steal and they'd happily steal your bike instead unless it's well locked TO the van. Oh, and if a burglar broke into your house and nicked your van keys they'll have both your modes of transport in one go...
Better to lock it up well at home in my opinion.
