Hi bewybabe2, from the first pic, it looks as if water getting in from the door frame corners, that piece of angle riveted to the corner of door frame could be trapping water in the door frame and then getting in through the gap between the joints, I suspect the door frame joist have some water damage, check to see that aluminium door frame seals between van and frame are in good condition, also check the rubber seals on door frame and door. I would drill hole in the angle bracket in the corner to stop any water build up in the corner coming into van, seal the bottom corner joints, the van should start and dry out if this is where the problem is, only when the van has dried out will you be able to fully assess any wood damage done by the water, heating van will help dry it out also you could use a dehumidifier, you should still be able to use your van while it is drying out, you can cut a piece of plywood and place in van over the door entrance as a temporary measure while you are using the van, then lift the plywood when van not in use.
-------------
If everything runs smoothly then I must have done something wrong
If in Doubt Check it Out.
