Mike,

Don't run this thing again before you get this resolved. To paraphrase
an old saying - where there are fumes  there will be  fire - and you
don't want the fire to be your van!

And keep your fire extinguisher handy while you work on the van to
resolve this.

Please do advise us per Roger's list of questions.
