Stock rear vanagon brakes are shoe/drum, not pad/rotor like the fronts.
Driving that far with the E-brake on may have only used up considerable
shoe material. It their brakes were in original running order, have them
drive in reverse rather briskly and apply the brakes. Do this 3-4 times,
then test the brakes moving forward.

The rear brakes on vanagons are "self-adjusting" and can be adjusted
for shoe wear by doing what I suggest above. I think I'd want to take
the drums off and check everything out after this event.
