I've not done anything with the cooling system yet since I've owned the
van.  I want to eliminate/rule out the easy stuff first (e.g. air in the
radiator) before I assume there's something more seriously wrong.

The radiator looks brand new by the way, which corroborates the prior
owner's claim that it had been recently replaced.
