1. Regarding internal cabinetry / bedding frames within the van do these add to the structural support of the walls?
2. Any watch outs / tips & tricks remodifying & pulling things off walls.
Thanks in advance.

Different manufacturers use differing methods with cabinet fit-outs - many do use cabinets/furniture as an integral part of the strengthening of the "house".
Most of the composite walled "plastic box on wheels", build the box, then furniture/flat pack are fitted. Note most of these have their electricals under/behind this furniture as opposed to framed vans that have wiring within the walls.
I suggest prior to removing/altering furniture; you take a tour of the manufacturers factory - even a U Tube video tour to note their manufacturing methods.
Almost every manufacturer build one off's even on Models appearing to be similar - very few can supply wiring or plumbing drawings because of this individuality.
A couple of questions for the DIY van modifier's
