I'd remove both of the cabinets.  This sumer I had
some water get in behind the cabinets (not being
carfull pouring water into the reservoir).  I just
finished pulling all of the cabinets and I found lots
of mold and mildew on the floor boards (between the
metal floor and the cabinets.  Also a few years ago, I
had a rust spot under the rear seat (that had to be
repaired) from water getting in under the rear seat.

Removing all of the cabinets is also a good way to get
things CLEAN and to spray rust inhibiting oils in the
panels behind the fridge.  Also you can R&R the
propane combustion chamber while the fridge is out.
See the recent posts on that subject and I have
pictures too.

Strictly speaking one does not have to remove the
kitchen unit to remove the rereservior cabinet.  But
one does have to remove the rear seat to remove the
rereservior cabinet.

While you have things out of the van, spray a light
film of anti-rust oil on the metal floor of the van in
case of future spiolls.  If I can be of help. just
ask, I've done this several times.  Malcolm
