Don't have remote central locking on mine but....
I have seen this before on european cars - if the receiver is on the
roof just below where the aerial (sorry antenna ;-)   ) is mounted, you
can get a little bit of water ingress, and it can condense on the PCB
causing reduced performance or temporary failure. Not sure where the
sensor is on Vanagon, or if US models have an aerial roof mounted above
the internal rear view mirror.
The fix is to pull it all apart and seal round the underside of the
aerial with mastic.
