Scott,

Climb under the van and get wet, dirty and cold.  While you are under there,
clean the electrical connections at the starter and check the grounding
bonding straps.  After that fun exercise, don't forget to clean the battery
terminals.  If the weatherman starts using the phrases "cold snap" and
"teens", its time to start considering letting your battery sleep in the
house.
