Why add to the vagaries of a Vanagon's cooling system with another potential
problem?  If you're after 120 VAC heat, plug in an electric resistive space
heater; they have an efficiency of 100%, what more could you want?  If you want
hot water while your're basking in the warmth of your van, install an electric
instantaneous water heater; they're compact and also highly efficient.
