In my case, it's entirely possibly they got in the van via other means and made house up front. Why I don't know. It really looks like they tried to chew their way into the heat/defrost system. images of heat hoses: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-U9pOutRDMHk/UPosY9-WrnI/AAAAAAAAGos/43MUuDAv9cY/s720/ya%25204.jpg https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-f5gO7G2zlUY/UPosYQEsYqI/AAAAAAAAGog/NjTYotXsJM8/s720/Ya.jpg Unless I'm misunderstanding the anatomy of the Vanagon, I think mesh at the fresh air intake "holes" would do the trick.
