Hi Chandler , welcome to UKCS , this does sound like condensation , but it depends on how wet it was , if it was soaking then it may need further investigation .
I would move the cushions indoors to fully dry out and give the van a good airing on a warm day .
As Michael says it would be a good idea to buy a damp meter and check the area , make sure the probe tips are needle sharp as they need to penetrate the wall board covering to get a damp reading .
The wallboard should also feel hard to the finger , any softness would mean possible damp beneath .

do not use the meter on window rubbers as you will always get a reading.
