geez!!  thats gotta be the newest van ive heard w/ rust holes..   sounds like
the accy. fill outlets seal were bad, water gets behind there, soaks the
insulation, and never dries out.  if you have a rusted rocker - your floor is
most likely rusted too.  the only way to properly fix it is to remove the
sink/stove/fridge cabinets and inspect the damage from the inside. also all
outlet seals need to be replaced too. Mill supply in Ohio sells vanagon rust
replacement panels, as well as a myriad of other businesses. maybe even RMMW..
good luck, the only way to do it is to do it right..
